Why

The recent school shootings have brought out the usual bottom feeders and their pet theories about why the tragedy happened. Just pick anything from the list of usual suspects. Doesn't really matter what you choose. We all know this tragedy wouldn't have happened if there were school prayer, copies of the Ten Commandments on public buildings. Or we can blame it on video games, gays, and whatever else you can think of. All we need to do is invoke the right magical spell and the problem will be solved.

I don't know. When I was growing up a tragedy such as this would have been unthinkable. Children were taught respect by their parents and we took the time to discipline our children. As a society we were much more civilized than we are now. Yet before I start sounding like the others, let me say there are no magic formulas. Control is an illusion. We live in a fallen world and  to say it nicely, excrement occurs.

Bad things will happen again, not because God is in a bad mood, or because some store clerk wished us "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas". It will happen because of the sin that lives in all of us.
