When I said you, I was referring to anyone who thinks gun control is a good idea, not you specifically, so sorry if you read it that way. I understand your returning to the go-to-church, family values angle as well. Unfortunately, that won't solve the pressing issues at hand either. You could get everyone to go to church, and prey to god all you want, but if they turn around and are made to abide by laws, which are written by corrupted humans, which use violence on a daily basis like every government around the world does, then no major change will happen. The U.S. is a violent kakistocracy that uses violence on a daily basis worldwide, and domestically, and does not adhere to thou shalt not steal, nor thou shalt not kill. I just see some individuals randomly mimicking what their leaders advocate. When you're a hammer, every problem is a nail! Therefore I would have to respectfully disagree that going to church regularly will improve the aforementioned issues, which lead to the outcomes that people in the U.S. experience regularly. It just might make people feel better for an hour or two. Then again, that's just my opinion.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
sadly @tgheretic, your opinion is an accurate reflection of reality. back when people were families and went to church they elected politicians with similar values who introduced laws that reflected those values.
now people worship in sports stadiums and shopping malls on the Sabbath, don't marry, don't have children (or worse kill their unborn) and elect politicians who reflect those values.
yes, sadly, from a reality point of view, this reminds me of Jerusalem around 600 b.c. reject God - check, disregard His Sabbath - check, sacrifice children - check. Just saying that did not work out well for Israel - and - as they say 'the hand writing is on the wall'
coming full circle - and so we have a problem with a few kids killing a few kids with guns in school and a lot more adults killing a lot more babies and very few people who are married with kids and go to church on Sunday.
