I saw something posted on Facebook by a person who I don't even want as my friend. Being the people pleaser that I am, I accepted his request but restricted him. Part of me wishes he had done the same.
The post was in reference to Connecticut. The last line stated, essentially, that the problem is not guns, but the fact that we live in a Godless society.
Quite the assertion. After completing twelve essays for Western Civilization, nine of them being on religion (my choice), God's presence or the evocation of His name does not deter violence. Countless acts of terrorism and other kinds of violence have been committed in the name of religion.
I respect the views of those believe that religion can influence our morality. That being said, I am also a realist.
