I don't know the answer to all of these killings...I think we need prayers back in the schools and ten Commandments. We got to do something. :please:

Very astute 64. :Clap::Clap:Obama was big on likening himself to a bus driver a while back, so we can use that scenario to analogize the present problem concerning gun violence. Say you wanted to take a bus tour all the way to California, heaven forbid LOL. You get out to I-64 and you notice that the bus driver has turned east bound.

It is obvious to everybody on the bus that they will never see California by traveling eastward. None the less, the driver is adamant that he is right and refuses to listen to the irate passengers. The truth is of course, that the bus is going in the wrong direction, and the bus driver apparently doesn't know what he's doing. That's the thing about self delusion, one can rationalize away all facts and all evidence no matter how overwhelming they might be. Take for instance a statement I heard only yesterday when the President insisted that the states with the strictest gun laws see far less incidents of gun violence. O'Reilly took the President to task on that remark reminding him that his home city of Chicago, which has the strictest gun laws in the country, none the less leads the nation with over 6,000 incidents of gun violence in just the past several years. But, suffice it to say, the United States left the route years ago with the absurd adaptation of 'the separation of Church and state' and have been going in the wrong direction ever since. I mean, what's to scratch our heads about?

When we did that, we abdicated the authority to govern and police ourselves. Which is why our prisons are filled, and our legal system is a mere ghost of it's former self. Nothing is really right or wrong anymore, it is about which lawyer can come up with the most clever argument. As I have said, Rome fell (or declined more accurately) in exactly the same manner. Debate is a poor substitute for the inerrant Word of God if you ask me. We are so rudderless in fact, I wonder if there is so much as one world leader, who could not eat this administration's lunch during negotiations for anything. Added to America's list of social ills, would be the destruction of the foundation of American life, that foundation being the family. It is no coincidence then that Church attendance is way down and infidelity rates are way up. We have become so confused as a society, that one of our political parties makes a living off of ensuring Joe Blow that he and his, will continue to be guaranteed abortion on demand and gay marriage rights. All that to say you're exactly right. When America turned her back on God, she lost her way and her mojo. It is so obvious and so plain to see, no wonder we're watching our society unravel before our eyes.

So, what can we do? Well, how about getting back on the right route and begin to honor the God Who had to but speak this universe into existence?
