ORIGINAL: Brooksy84 Saw a photo that really annoyed me earlier: a banner someone had made that said "God bless the families". So if you believe such things, presumably this would be the same god who decided to set the wheels of this massacre in motion and then chose which children lived and died. Not wanting to sidetrack but this is why I really hate religion at times, and no doubt the poor families will be barraged with patronising crap like "God is with you, the strength of the lord will get you through, blah blah". If I hear one arsehole come out with a line like "God needed 20 angels in heaven" then I think I'm gona break something. Anyway, to echo what most have said, definitely time for tighter gun control but can't see much happening any time soon. Very very sad. I wouldn't neccassarily see how a banner saying 'God bless the families' would be deemed offensive. I think the majority of the families will find strength through faith, whatever religion they follow. If there is a god and a devil, you could argue it was the devil who was responsible for this henious act rather than god, or maybe he was just plain evil (the killer) couldn't you? Bah. Nevermind. My thoughts go out to the families.
