Texas school shooting

[Tommi Giovanni]

I don’t know religious zealots are pretty fucking out they're even when you give them hard info & facts. And the fact that their belief is "real" especially in this country & more relevant when it's takes the elements of so many other religions & beliefs to make it up. I'm like shit is Jesus of Nazareth not Nottingham. He wasn't born in a manger in Belgium it was Bethelehem! Other religions make room for abortions as well & how the fuck can you be pro-life & call for the deaths of women who may need an abortion to save themselves or remove a non-viable fetus or one that's died in her & may prevent her from having kids in the future.

Cool. But usually Christians don’t go shooting up schools

Christians have caused a lot of death in the world man lol

I don't hate the religion but...

Albert Fish... the dude who ate children... devout Christian

Dennis Raider... the BTK killer was a leader in his local church

Ed Gein.. the guy leather face was based on... warped by his mother's extreme christian beliefs

Gary Ridgeway, the green river killer, devout christian.

Gacy the Clown.... devout Catholic

Peter Sutcliffe claimed god told him to murder prostitutes

Robert Pickton the piggy farmer often quoted the bible

Ted Bundy was mormon


The Inquisition. The crusades.

. Interestingly,
school shootings have occurred more frequently in areas with a strong conservative religious population (Arcus 2002). Michael Carneal (Heath High
School shooting, 1997, Kentucky) came from a family of devoted members
of the Lutheran Church. Mitchell Johnson (Westside Middle School shooting,
1998, Arkansas) sang in the Central Baptist Church youth choir (Newman
et al. 2004). Dylan Klebold (Columbine shooting, 1999, Colorado) attended
confirmation classes in accordance with Lutheran tradition.

At this point, data can be used to articulate any argument anyway.

When you seek data to support your argument, you are not required to seek data to disprove your argument.

People are idiots.

Provide a Facebook poll and some fluffed numbers, you’ll swindle a country.

true enough

im pretty sure the Trump era proved that to everyone

[Big Moose]

And I just want to say

im not shitting on christians. My mother is very religious. And those beliefs are still engrained in me to a degree. But i don't attend church or know if I FULLY believe so I don't think i can truly call myself Christian.

Zyclon's comment that "Christians don't USUALLY shoot up schools" is technically true

But atheists don't USUALLY do that either. Neither do muslims, or buddhists or satanists or blah blah blah

As long as it ain’t Twitter posts I’m good.

I don’t follow this, I work in big tech and know that dozens of suits have been quietly settled because tech suppressed positive Trump articles/trends while elevating negative articles and propelling positive Hilary articles.

Tech literally tried to ruin Trump but his movement was too large.

And Trump would have won again but he was just an idiot. Great policy, ignorant communication.

If mass shooters tend to be American, and Americans tend to be Christian, it follows that mass shooters tend to be Christian. But that doesn't mean that Christianity causes mass shootings -- it means there are factors in American & Western culture that lead to mass shootings, which overlap with other demographic factors like Christianity. Correlation is not causation, that's a basic logical fallacy.
