    We live in a deeply sick and spiritually cancerous society. We should pray ever more for our nation and speak the Gospel of peace and hope in Jesus Christ.

    Agreed. And I think it will only get worse before Jesus returns!

    Per early reports, this was as much a disgruntled ex-employee as it was racially motivated!

    "In the faxed document, Williams used the June shooting at a Charleston church as part of the reason for his crime. Dylann Roof is alleged to have shot several black parishioners during that mass killing. Later in the document, Williams expressed admiration for Virginia Tech shooter Seung Hui Cho and the Columbine High School killers. Williams also listed numerous grievances including racial discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying while at work. Williams said he was attacked for being a gay, black man."

    Above quote taken from: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/08/26/active-shooter-reportedly-attacks-tv-crew-in-virginia/

    I feel as badly for the victims as I do for the suspect! He had real demons eating at his insides, and he broke! :tear:

    Gun related death dwarfs that caused by terrorists here. Why is it the public goes crazy if it is connected to terrorism and yawns and does nothing about guns and gun related deaths in this society?

    Abortion dwarfs gun related deaths.

    Why do libs/dems/progressives go crazy over a gun related death but support funding abortion mills with tax dollars?

    If you are actually interested in an answer to that question I can give you one. You made a comparison here of two things:

    1. Terrorism, terrorists

    2. Guns

    In number 1 (terrorism, terrorists) we are talking about people making decisions to kill. In number 2 (guns) we are talking about an inanimate object which cannot make a decision. It is a tool not a killer.

    Terrorists are killers, guns are not. Only people can be killers. Therefore your comparison fails. In order to make a legitimate comparison you have to compare the people.

    So who are the people involved in your comparison? First there are terrorists who are extremist Muslims. In the second we have a gay black man who was also an extremist which became evident once he gave the media his manifesto. We know he was an extremist because he wanted to start a race war.

    So, the issue here is not guns but extremists. The conversation should be what are we going to do about extremists. No reasonable person would be distracted by guns when extremism is the real issue.

    According to Crabby's past posts he has decided that he cannot do anything about abortion so he should just ignore it. My question is does that logic sound rational?

    You forgot to mention that g@ys are still violent in spite of s@me-sex marriage. Maybe g@ys are mentally ill even though the American Psychiatric Society agrees with the Democrats that g@ys are not mentally ill.
