Look, there has been mass shootings and terrorists attacks on and off for so long in this country. So why people are complaining and whining about such irks me in all kinds of ways. Don't you know there are still people sick suffering and dying in the hospitals and on the streets and in other parts of the world? What makes these people different then the others? Why worry about something you had no control over?, why not use your freedom and help those you can help and have control over. What can donald Trump do? All Donald Trump can do is be Donald Trump. It's no use worrying about something we have no control over. While I am very sorry people have got killed and hurt, I know also the Bible says we are not to put our faith in man , but God only. So Donald Trump may be leading the country now but don't expect any miracles and don't expect the man to not fall in error because the bible says to put our faith in God only, Donald Trump is an imperfect human being who was born a sinner just like all of us. And on this earth no man should be fully trusted. It ain't nobody on this Earth perfect and doesn't make mistakes. I believe we are all capable of falling into error. It would just be better to just pray to God, (the only one who can do the possible) about it instead of complaining about such cause it's irritating and it bothers me. A beautiful man died on the cross 2000 years ago yet no one talks about that and how he suffered for us and lost his life. The only thing events shows us like this is that life is short and because it is short we should be trying to return our hearts and souls to God and seeking him. Besides, the bible says we are all destined to die and people die everyday, get over it please :-/
We cannot ignore the horror and waste and injustice of any senseless death committed by the hand of others and certainly these mass shooting magnify that to extremes.
But accusing the President of racism and white supremacy, neither of which he has ever condoned or demonstrated, is illustrative of the actual problem. We have become a culture of intellectually dishonest hateful judgmentalism, accusations, demonization, bullying, tearing people down because they belong to the wrong party and/or don't believe what we believe.
We as Christians should:
--denounce and condemn white supremacy, black supremacy, Hispanic supremacy, and all who would presume to judge others for who and what they are as well as those who denigate and/or encourage violence against other people or groups of people.
--denounce and condemn all forms of bullying and malicious gossip, libel, and slander that is prevalent against the President no matter who he is, against members of Congress, against political parties, groups, people, most especially those who hold 'politically incorrect' opinions. Such bullying, malicious gossip, libel, slander is pretty much non stop these days on television, on social media, on message boards, etc. The worst offenders accuse others while not seeing how destructive their own words and actions are. And that almost certainly is a factor and provocation for those with a propensity for violence to act it out.
--fight against the suppression of and promote and encourage religious faith, most especially JudeoChristian faith, which has proven to be a calming and beneficial factor in those communities and neighborhoods where it is a prominant factor.
--denounce the increasingly violent and graphic gratuitous sex, violence, and other immorality in the movies, on television, in video games. These are unhealthy for anybody and can be dangerous to the unstable mind.
--denounce the assault on the American traditional family and the trend to emasculate men and/or making fathers unimportant or unnecessary. Yes, single parents can do a great job of raising kids and sometimes they have to do that, but a responsible mother and father in the home is far better for raising kids. And communities with traditional two parent families the rule instead of the exception are pretty much invariably safer, more constructive, more prosperous than those who don't have that.
One of the most significant statistics in men who become vicious dictators and among the young men who are mass shooters is that a largely disproportionate number of them grew up without frequent influence from their biological fathers. I don't think that is a statistic we should ignore.
