what????????????

The idea of a deity you never encounter outside of your mind isn't the same as the company of other people; that latter is a critical component to human happiness.
some fall some don't nobody said it was guarantee. A child would know that!!
what????????????
James972 said:OMG!!the whole entire point of Christianity is that God loves you and you are 100% not rejected!!!
yes we are all sinners to one extent or another. Do you have any idea what your point is?
Is this an actual shooting or the worst parable ever written?They asked him why he did it. He said he could because he was not Christian. Liberals imagine themselves to be so clever that they see through the irrationality and hypocrisy of Christianity. But little do they know that then they also, in effect, see through the irrationality and hypocrisy of the Great Commandment: "love thy neighbor as thyself". The Florida shooter and all the other shooters that liberalism has spawned weren't bound by the Great Christian Commandment were they? Did liberals offer something to replace it? So who then is really responsible for the horrible liberal change that is happening in the souls of would-be shooters, and millions of others who in record numbers are committing suicide and overdosing on drugs?

A site called Palatine Hill lists some of the oldest formulations of the Golden Rule in reverse chronological order:
Ancient Egypt.- circa 2000 BCE “Do for one who may do for you, That you may cause him thus to do.” – The Tale of the Eloquent Peasant 109-110,
Hebrew Bible – circa 700 BCE “You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against your countrymen. Love your fellow as yourself: I am the LORD.”
Zoroastrianism.- circa 600 BCE “That nature only is good when it shall not do unto another whatever is not good for its own self.” – Dadistan-i-Dinik 94:5,
Buddhism.- circa 500 BCE “Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.” – Udana-Varga 5:18,
Confucianism.- circa 500 BCE “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.” Analects of Confucius 15:24,
Socrates.- circa 400 BCE “Do not do to others what would anger you if done to you by others.”
how does being trained as a Christian prevent this kind of thing? It's not a guarantee at all.
There are plenty of moral secularists who don't shoot others or kill themselves. Your whole premise is ridiculous.
So then Christians are capable of this as well, yes?
That being the case, do no Christians feel lonely despite knowing what god loves them?

So God made him crazy as punishment for his "atheism"

I point out that there are mentally challenged, ill people that say they belong to the right, the left, believers, nonbelievers, and of every stripe, color and race. The fact that you can't understand that is pathetic.
Ok, in op you said they asked him why he did it and he had shot himself so I was confused.This is about recent shooting in Florida! The shooter was not Christian. The victim's loved ones wish the shooter had been raised as a devout Christian rather than a liberal secularist.

You are running out of material.
Saying you belong and actually accepting the Great Christian Commandment are different things. The victim's loved ones wish the shooter had been trained as a Christian and accepted Christian beliefs. Now do you understand?
Hitler was a Christian and was "trained in Christian beliefs" .
Then we can have a relevant conversation about whether or not religion is more likely to encourage, or discourage such acts.
some are lonely when their wife kids friends family and neighbors love them. And???????????????????????????
Christians are capable of murder? Well since Christianity opposes murder not really. You might say they could be lapsed Christians. Do you understand?
Its ridiculous to train kids not to be shooters who kill innocents? Is this a keen liberal mind at work?
