OK show causation. What you presented are irrelevant facts with no proof of cause.
No problem
60 yrs ago before gov. Ruled to kick God
out of our schools the system worked.
It produced members of society with all
the little problems being pointed at now.
Now with God out of the picture the
system founded by Christianity is
pumpimg out mass murderers.
Before the court rulings system is fine
After the court rulings. System is
clearly broken.
The only thing that has changed?

I am even specifically talking about school shootings.. Wikipedia has a list of school shootings that goes back to 1850ish..
Now it includes a lot of single murder instances .. which I assume were not what we would consider a “school shooter”.
But if you scroll through there are a bunch of 4 and 6 murder events too.
Mass shootings as a whole. I’m sure are as old as guns..
though I have to admit imaging the muzzleloader variety is both horrific and comical..
Kill someone. Wad. Powder. Ball... plunger..
Kill someone else...was. Powder. Ball plunger..
Wash, rinse , repeat.

Still, I'm firmly of the belief that many of these kids are pushed into this by outside forces. How many of the most deadly acts of violence in the US have been committed by people who had links to the CIA and MKUltra?
James Holmes - Aurora theatre shooting. Holmes was one of six recipients of a National Institutes of Health Neuroscience Training Grant at the University of Colorado Anschutz and has had a number of links to U.S. government-funded research centers. Holmes's past association with government research projects has prompted police and federal law enforcement officials to order laboratories and schools with which Holmes has had a past association not to talk to the press about Holmes.
Unibomber Ted Kaczynski - voluntarily took part in mind control experiments at Berkely
Timothy McVeigh - OKC bombing - Was involved in highly classified projects in the military that to this day have never been revealed. People around him noticed changes in his demeanor. He became distant and uncommunicative.
Stephen Paddock - Las Vegas mass shooter - had ties to the military and the CIA if links are to be believed.
How many of these school shooters are sleepers of some sort? They're the perfect vehicle target. Bullied, depressed, marginalized, outsiders.
That didn't just happen in a vacuum. The whole social Marxism program started then also. Now the screw ups from the ''60s are running the show and trying to start '60's style protests all over again. Of course it can't work. No rock and Roll and how are you going to mess up something that's already destroyed?
Even if we agree this is messed up what can we do about it? How long would it take to fix what required 60 years to get this bad? We need a quick solution. Political and religious change will only piss these lunatics off.

Was that when hanging women for witch craft, marital rape, owning slaves, hanging blacks was all happening?
Our founders literally based the constitution on two treaties of government by John Locke.
Anything for the topic?
Yes your weak theory of causation makes no sense. Progressive education began at the turn of the century (late 1800's)
Morality and ethics don't need religion.
In fact religion gave people the belief to do immoral acts because God said it was OK.
Atheism does the same thing; with no God there really is nothing stopping you from doing anything besides some secular law about not killing people.
That isn't true. There is the social contract which is what our nation was based on.
There is the categorical imperative. There is philosophy and ethics.
God also yells people to kill the other people.
Atheism isn't a moral code. That comes from philosophy.

Yes of course. Just look at communist Russia and China - both atheist. Did God tell them to murder 100 million people?

Lol, and that has to do with what? My point is humans are violent. Particularly when you give authority to false leaders. Religion or atheism is not the answer to save humanity.
There is no easy answer. They all require introspective thought and ethics.

Th e Atheist Atrocities Fallacy
The more you know.
Now I am embarrassed. I actually took the time to carefully read that nonsense. It gave me insight into your mind that I wish I could unsee.
First, the article does not anywhere say these murders never occurred. It only alleges a secret religious motivation for the atrocities.
Next, if you believe Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot were examples of any kind of religion, you are probably far past the point of no return. You can look straight at the truth and not believe it. Who did this to you?

I just heard that more kids have been shot to death in American schools this year, than all the Iraqi and Afghan American combat deaths this year.

Nice retort. You apparently have no understanding that atheism isn't the reason for atrocities. They did not kill in the name of atheism but in the name of ideologies. So the irony of saying that I can look straight at the truth and not believe it is lost on you.
