Yes, apparently in our God "free" culture of sex, and rock and roll has allowed school shootings to take place! If ONLY we allowed prayers in school none of the school shootings would happen! Yes, it's your fault because dammit, you people are not upstanding good 'Christians'!

Also to be honest, I stopped watching after about 30 seconds of this crap....

Yeah, so far from NSG I've learned two things about shootings.

1) Anyone who has a gun or supports gun ownership, is responsible for Cho shooting people.
2) Anyone who doesn't worship the One True God (in the One True Way) is responsible for shootings.

Sigh..

Not really, I just find it amusing that apparently any time something bad happened, it's because we're trying to "get rid of God". *cough* Salem Witch Trials *cough*.

Though I do find the notion that privacy is somehow connected to child pornography or that child pornography is excepted by privacy advocates to be particularly disgusting.

In other words, the theocons* are making the same argument they've made after every other tragedy in recent history (see 9/11 and Katrina, for instance).

Okay, maybe not every tragedy in recent history, but it sure feels like it.

Einstein said it best: "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity... and I'm not certain about the former."

I actually wound up using that quote for my school's yearbook this year. Oddly enough, I wasn't the only person to do so.

What do you expect? Radicals will say anything that has a remote chance of furthering their cause, but at least that clip is more honorable than Their reaction (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/04/18/national/main2699800.shtml)

You forgot one, Illegal immigration is responsible for school shootings, because they are both illegal.

You forgot a group--anyone who supports even reasonable gun control is responsible, because we kept students and teachers alike from packing and potentially stopping the guy (I refuse to use his name and extend the memory of that piece of shit).

Saying that the Godtube people are more honorable that Fred Phelps is like saying cat vomit is preferable to dog vomit. You'd really rather not have either of them on your area rug.

The universe is only about 30 billion light-years across, not infinite. That's because the growth of the universe is limited by the speed of light. But as quickly as the illumination of human reason may spread, it always finds that stupidity was there first.

It's been fun to listen as I am blamed for causing school shootings. Sometimes it's because I'm liberal. Sometimes it's because I have sex with women. Sometimes it's because I am a woman, and I choose to be all uppity and assert that nobody has the right to rape me or enslave me. Sometimes it's because I'm an atheist. Sometimes it's just because I watch TV.

And of course, when I say "it's been fun," what I really mean is, "it's been deeply fucking sickening to listen to these assholes using tragedy to fill their pockets. Assholes."

This may be my favorite (http://www.blueoregon.com/2007/04/rep_dennis_rich.html). It's not exactly blaming the extension of benefits to same sex partners for the Va Tech shootings, but it certainly compares the two as equally tragic events.

You forgot:

3) Video games, whether they were played by the shooter or not, are responsible for shootings.

Geh... if God keeps students from killing each other, I guess that explains why more secularized countries experience these events weekly. Oh, wait...

There is only one person to blame, and that is the shooter. He made the choice to shoot people, he wasn't coerced, nobody tied his family up and threatened to rape and kill his sister. No one said they'd go a puppy strangling spree if he didn't. The man himself is to blame, I don't care who has what to say about it the only person held accountable for his actions is the person who does them.

Cho Seung-Hui, the Virginia Tech student responsible for the killings who took his own life after the shootings, was sent by God to punish those he killed, and America as a whole, for moral decline, said Phelps-Roper, while adding that she believes Cho is also in hell for violating God’s commandment to not kill.

“He is in hell,” Phelps-Roper said. “But he was also fulfilling the word of God.”

So, Cho's a good guy because he's killed all those nasty sinners, but he's also a complete and utter bastard because he's killed all those nasty sinners? I'm confused.

AOTA, there was documentary about the WBC shown here in the UK recently where the journalist Louis Theroux spent three weeks with some of them. Man, those people are scary. I can see why they called the documentary 'The Most Hated Family in America'. There's an article about it here:

As an occultist, I'd say about the same happens to me. When you see this kind of tripe, remember: "Laudari a bonis et vituperari a malis unum atque idem est." - "To be praised by the good is the same as to be censored by the evil", and these fundies are evil.
