Has anyone received this post on facebook:

It began with 4 students asking God why there is so much violence in our schools. The reply:
God is not allowed in our schools.

My reply: You may as well have just said that the children and parents deserved it because they are not godly enough. Truly disgusting.

I responded that perhaps God was there and prevented a larger number of children from being killed. No one has responded back to me on that.

That is one insecure deity you bow down in awe of. If he responds to not being worshiped by slaughtering 20 little babies he's pretty pathetic.

And I posted this on my page -

Really? If everyone in that school had dropped to their knees and prayed Adam Lanza would have stopped shooting his guns? I don't think so.



In a response to a liberal friend - I then wrote - Funny how the gun rights all day long all day strong crowd are the same people who want to shove religion down our throats.


A few more choice words - but seriously? I have to put up with guns all day long all day strong - then they need to STFU on my freedom to not have their religions shoved down my throat. If want their religion and prayer - then I'll go to their church.

Seriously - think about it. If we have to put up with their bead on the Constitution then they better shut up and put up with mine.

I'm so angry that anyone would even TRY to make a connection that people are murdered by guns because we don't have a theocratic based approach to public education. WTF?

I wanted to reply something like this:

Really? Your god is so impotent and petty that he'd allow 20 kids to be murdered simply because their parents won't force them to pray in school? When did god become such an incredible asshole?



As I have friendships I want to maintain, I bit my lip. But I'm damned close to going off on the next fucker who posts something so incredibly stupid.
