church billboard. It is why my flesh crawled. There have been so many shootings. And today there was another. And each time, the shooter has a grudge. He thinks he is taking out the trash. He thinks he is getting rid of the stuff he HATES. Getting rid off evil. When what he is really trying to get rid of is his self and his own pain that he can not acknowledge, because in this messed up country, men are not allowed to cry.

Imagine some mentally ill kid that self identifies as a Christian who has access to guns and who thinks that "evil" people have sinned against him. He drives by day after day and sees a sign on a Church that starts out with the word "Hate." The sign seems to order him to expunge the "evil." And so, being sick and unhappy and insane, he does it.

Can we please have more messages of Love, at least from our houses of worship?
