Quit Blaming God and a "Godless" Society for Political Cowardice

[IdaBriggs]

If I get one more Facebook posting claiming that the lack of "God" in schools is responsible for the school massacres, I will probably end up losing half my Facebook friends.

- GOD has not been ignoring the regular reports of mass shootings.

- GOD has not allowed "background" checks to become a joke.

- GOD has not been "encouraging" the sale of semi and automatic weapons to every lunatic with a paranoid streak.

- GOD did not cut funding for mental health.

- GOD has not been funding the NRA and its minions.

The list goes on, BUT no matter what your belief structure, human beings have FREE WILL, and in a government such as ours which is run BY and FOR THE PEOPLE - that means WE THE PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALLOWING THE POLITICAL COWARDICE THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LATEST MASSACRE.

Personally, I am DONE with that attitude.

So, seriously, STOP BLAMING GOD. Not only is it an insult to GOD, but it PRETENDS "ONLY GOD" can solve this mess - and those who take that attitude are mentally washing their hands of SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF GUN VIOLENCE.

Human beings created this mess; human beings can fix it. The first attitude that had to change is "these things happen" - BULLSHIT.

It's Not God. It's US. And I add my voice to the ones saying, "ENOUGH!"

1. It's just somebody's unholy hoax

2. I do not believe God is a hoax.

I believe we are responsible for this earth and our actions.

My original post is about Not Blaming God. That opinion still holds.

Interesting video, though.

3. Those people aren't blaming God at all.

They're doing the opposite: they're excusing God.
