I came in from cutting the grass to find the news saturated with a shooting in Aurora. Co., which is also the region for a big church shooting earlier in time.

Looks like the earlier Aurora, Co. shooting was in April

It appears the church is failing teaching the Morals like: thou shalt not kill.
Makes one wonder if these things would turn out differently if these shooters chose to go play golf on the most holy day of the week.
Could it be all the double talk in religion makes some people a little crazy?

Dear MagnumOpus,
Shame on you for using this tragic event to attack Christianity. Do you really believe his pastor told him to go out dressed up as the Joker and shoot people? You are no better than the people who whine that someone took their six year old to a midnight showing, as if the parents even could guess that their child would be shot. Show some compassion for the families rather than trying to use this event to push your bigotry and your agenda.

I think he probably just lost it because of all the constant harping of atheists....on and on and on. You know the atheists that have no life so they spend their time studying other people's religion just so they can attempt to disprove it and drag as many people as possible over to the dark side. Why would you even visit christianpost.com if you hate christianity? Where do you find the time? Next thing you know you'll be door knocking....oh wait, you have the internet to try to force your non-belief on everyone else. Good luck with that and God Bless!

Hey what happened to all supporters that claimed Stalin, Mao, etc etc killed because they were Atheist lol.
This just goes to show, just because someone is associated with reason A, does not mean they did because of reason A. Unless he shouts "Death to Reason B" or "For Reason A", which is a different matter.

I wouldn't try to use the extreme rare exception to define a rule.. that's terrible application of reason and logic.

You're correct, in Philosophy that's commonly called a "genetic fallacy".
