When will this cycle end?

At least one gunman opened fire on youngsters studying. Incredible.

In Baghdad: "I saw a leg and a hand falling near me as I was walking."

When will it end? When the Prince of Peace is honored as the reigning Messianic King by all parties involved.

An attack on a seminary is hardly surprising. After all, killing people who hold the wrong beliefs has been a common human behavior from the dawn of recorded history. No religious group has been immune from that interesting little pastime.

If you want to get really upset over something, I would suggest getting upset over religious nuts doing their best to destroy the education of children in non-religious schools. That is where the real tragedy for future generations is happening, all around the world.

"No religious group has been immune from that interesting little pastime."

This should actually read: "No (ideological group) has been immune . . ." Your statement reveals the arrogant humanistic compulsion to assume a very undeserved high ground when it comes to oppression and prejudice. I think of the Frech Revolution humanists and their rampage of oppression and death - or the humanist/communist (birds of a feather) Soviet Union and Red China. Or the government oppression under Jimmy Carter against Christian schools; or the virtual persecution of home schoolers by various states and localities. (We home schooled our children, so we know all about the latter).

Which brings us to your vague statement about "religious nuts doing their best to destroy the education of children in non-religious schools."

It's the state secular-humanist governments (in collusion with the NEA "nuts") that have been hassling and oppressing home schoolers and Christian schools for several decades now that are the real oppressors - so that Christian children would be pressured to attend the same drug-infested, violence-ridden, sex-filled, racially-troubled, academically-failing schools as the poor hapless secular kids do).

And besides (chronicled by the evening news just about EVERY night), the government socialist school system is imploding all by it's own corrupt little self. Christians have to do nothing at all to either aid or hasten this inevitable freefall.

There is NO such thing as non-religious education! It's a true urben myth. First of all, no education anywhere is complete without a knowledge of God and His Law/Word. Secondly, since atheistic humanism IS, in fact, a religion (man is its god, secularism its MO, and the Humanist Manifesto its bible) our public schools are catechising children in the Huamnist Faith (and brooking no rivals).

If I have misinterpreted your meaning in the above statement, please tell me what you do mean by it.

Calm down there Nikos. namtac's post is real, whether any one person agrees or disagrees. It would behoove anyone to research the ideas that namtac suggests.

Remember, killing another, regardless of the reason or religious beliefs held by either, is absolutely wrong!

Shalom

Well, that last entry made very little sense, so I'm not sure I can respond; but I'lll try.

First of all, if I want to be upset or whatever on any blog that's my business! The comment is transparently a one-up, put-down.

And as far as I can tell, there are no "ideas" to research, just vague innuendos.

Oh ---- I heard on the news that a California (NEA) court has greatly curtailed the freedom of home schoolers (mostly Christians). Humanist "nuts doing their best to destroy the education of children in" religious schools. How blatant is that?! They just can't stand to not have those little minds in their oppressive, autocratic grip.

"Remember, killing another, regardless of the reason or religious beliefs held by either, is absolutely wrong!"

Hmmmm - ABSOLUTELY wrong, hunh? I thought there WERE no moral absolutes. On what basis is anything "wrong?" And since God has first dibs on the Commandments, it really begs the question. If any moral question can be "relative" the whole house of cards comes tumbling down, and we are left with the moral chaos and turmoil of our "Great (humanist) Society"
