Many children have died at the hands of violent crime. This has nothing to do with God being kept out of schools. The parents have a responsibility to teach their children and fine tune their moral compass.



This also had nothing to do with DEMONcrats or republicans. Again, it is the parents responsibility to teach about God.

Too many to count anymore. It's a shame what happened to that kid who was beaten to death by gang members in Chicago. He had a promising future.

If you are the victim of violent crime in this country, chances are the person victimizing you is a self-described Christian. Prisons are full of them.



Prison is full of Christians because these are people who became Christians while in prison. The Prisons are also full of people who have know

religion or anything else then their sad lives. You for the most part are a bigot.

No. Schools might be God neutral but what happened to the after school programs the churches used to run to teach religion? When I was growing up, just about everyone went to an after school program like that and the churches routinely recruited the neighborhoods parents to sign up more kids. Rather than complain about the lack of religion in schools, people who are bothered by it need to put their money where their mouths are and set up more after school programs.

I honestly believe America is getting her wish, we asked God not to come in the public schools, and the Lord has obliged them. I remember as a boy in rural Arkansas, we started every morning with pledge and prayer, in many ways, though our educational system would be considered medevil by todays standards, you never knew of school shootings or school bombings. I remember as a Senior, we used to get out to hunt deer, it wasn't uncommon for us to have our deer rifle on our gun racks when we were on school property, you try that now and see what happens. It was a different era, i believe besides maybe having a little more realization of God, there was more of a family structure that isn't quite as common today!

first of all, your screen name, so basically coming out of the military, you only qualify to to cut grass or work on a farm? lol.....second of all do you know anything about separation of church and state? god being taught in school has nothing to do with crime, there are plenty of catholic schools in the inner cities, like philadelphia, where the kids are just as bad as in the public schools, and it's not just democratic cities no public school in this country is allowed to have religion class..........no wonder you lost a job to a mexican lol

Why on Earth would any person believe in a god that is completely incapable of stopping a bunch of violent thugs from murdering innocent children ?

You can't convince them that God in the past put values and morals in our families and country. They will say...look at the priests and look at the boy scouts etc.....



Well..those instances were far and few compared to now.....There are far more athiests and those that complain about God causing harm to others and committing more crime than anyone that believes in God.



Look at the family structure and the 40 percent illegitimate birth rate and the lack of education and schools that have lost control and can't teach but spend more time babysitting than anything else.



NO ONE can deny....things are much scarier. Back in the 60's we didn't lock our cars or even our houses at night....we could stay out and go for walks at night and not be afraid....we could let our children out to play without being out there with them...and allow them to walk home from school without fear of them being hurt or harrassed by gangs.



Children cannot get their excercise and stay inside playing video games and computer....and can't get outside to climb trees and have fun without mom and dad watching over them every second.



It is sad....



just the other day a woman was beaten to death for two bucks.....



TWO BUCKS!



By the way...it is true our prisons are full of those that believe in God. THEY ALL BELIEVE IN GOD in Prison....they get paroled easier if they do!



I have an uncle who is in prison and he suddenly believes in God when all his life he had not. BAD SEED...and it also allows him out of his cell to participate in Christian discussions and gives him more credibility to do other things. I hope he stays in prison for his whole term...and we never see him for the next 25 years!



And DARWIN...God never promised a life of no pain and utopia. He didn't have us...and like a father he lets us make decisions and live by them. He isn't like bozo that censors us and stops us from free will.



Life is life...good and bad...and I have a handicapped son. When and if you ever have one..you will realize the difference between grace and arrogance and you will be more accepting of difference instead of criticizing it.



Children die...I have a granddaughter that died when a TV fell on her head and crushed her skull. Should I blame God for that TV and stop TV's from being sold? Is that God's fault?



MAN and nature create virus's and health issues...it is not God.



Get an education and stop being one sided.



God never promised us an easy flight...just a safe trip home!

Sorry, this has nothing to do with the rise in crime-which is a social and cultural issue.



You are in such a hurry to attack the Democrats that you have no idea what you're talking about-and with a name like your avatar has, I am not surprised.



Oh, and yes-you can get a job-follow your sides own advice and work harder.

That's part of it. But it's also because Dems are anti-family, and encourage women to raise kids on their own and pay them to do so. So you have no father win the home, which means less discipline, less caring, less respect. They also encourage abortion, which leads to a lack of respect for life.



I'm not sure why they cannot connect the dots on these problems.

God is everywhere!



How can he be kept out of schools with His omnipotent power?



It's just that schools are not allowed, once they receive Federal dollars, to side in with any particular religious sect or cult like the Mormons would have them do.

God's values? I dunno....all that killin' in the original Bible sort of wants to make me hurl. In the later addition you don't hear those TV preachers talk much about Matthew 25...usually it all abouot 'gay sex', which isn't even mentioned in the later edition.

None.



If you are the victim of violent crime in this country, chances are the person victimizing you is a self-described Christian. Prisons are full of them.



The homocide rate in the US is more than double what it is in China, and it is 12 times higher in the US than it is in Japan.



Now the dominant religion in Japan is Shinto, and in China I can guarantee you Christianity isn't being taught by that Government.



Conclusion: spurious correllation. In fact, some of the most religous countries have some of the highest murder rates.

What are God's values? Your god needs to get off his lazy butt and visit the children's ward at his local hospital.

It seems that Democrats and Liberals are against all that is good and support all that is evil. Why can't they see that destroying all that is good is what is making this country crumble?

That's what happens when you go against Our Lord's word! The liberal Satanists are bringing up there children to commit violent acts of hate. We must have God as He created us all! If you go against our saviour God's word then he will send you to rot in hell.

We were a much better society when prayer wasn't considered a dirty word. I am not religious, but people were so much nicer then.
