The only true answer is to choose life, as God instructed when He brought the Israelites out of the desert and into the promised land.

But today, I'm putting out a call for brain-storming. I'm talking about our nation's sorry descent into mass shooting hell. <br /><br />Does anyone have ideas on how our country might proceed to curtail mass shootings? Revisit gun control? I know, groan, no, anything but that. But really, should we put some additional controls on that sh*t or what?<br /><br />Mental Health. It has so many facets, its hard to even consider where to begin. <br /><br />Sexual Frustration. A common denominator in the shootings has been the disrupted romantic/sex life of the perpetrator. Would sex prevent mass shootings? This sounds crazy, but perhaps a government program (yes! a government program! I said it.) to ensure everybody is getting laid might do the trick. The new vitamin, vitamin "S", vital for health. Just like vitamin D to prevent rickets, and vitamin C to prevent scurvy. Vitamin S to prevent males from becoming assaultive. Go ahead and call it loony. Fast forward 100 years, and you might call it visionary. <br /><br />That's the best I've got. What've you got? Please have something. Anything. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-12209724640944083432018-02-16T09:00:24.250-08:002018-02-16T09:00:24.250-08:00Also, to paraphrase another, the atheist forgets t...Also, to paraphrase another, the atheist forgets that we are lapsed unbelievers.Gagdad Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00911613613759942690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-20016125362643144682018-02-16T08:58:51.811-08:002018-02-16T08:58:51.811-08:00"Whoever wants to know what the serious objec..."Whoever wants to know what the serious objections to Christianity are should ask us.

Otherwise it would be just random babbling.</i><br /><br />Considering the comments on most any news article pertaining to Christianity, the commentary by atheists usually does qualify as random babbling. Or considering the howls this week that prayer does nothing, sometimes it amounts to incoherent gibbering.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-89070478563510807762018-02-15T14:53:44.840-08:002018-02-15T14:53:44.840-08:00Heh.

Sparks, and such. Sometimes just orbital. Lazy, and forever.<br /><br />It is interesting that cognitive and physical terraforming seem to inhabit some place that possibly does not encourage lines or recurves.<br />But does not do anything but take the waves where they will.nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10632021240126981592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-3317791758493358892018-02-15T11:24:50.677-08:002018-02-15T11:24:50.677-08:00This post makes for some very good reading. Thank ...This post makes for some very good reading. Thank you. I agree with all of the assertions made therein. <br /><br />Man is a composite item; there are all of the usual atoms and compounds of the physical stuff, then there are the biologic tissues (including several trillion bacterial passengers), the "energy sheath" (emotional charge, aura, etc), then the mental (the mind, thoughts, etc), and then the soul (about the size of a thumb, glows, various colors, different dimension, does not die), and then the spirit (element of a man still occupying "heaven" as it were, watches from a different location, does not come to Earth, but still is part of the individual man).<br /><br />As you pointed out, more like a ray from, rather than a circular disc around God. However, as to falling "below animality," I would suggest parts of a man could do that, but certain parts have a lodgement nearer the center that are not really portable in that manner. <br /><br />Therefore I conclude all dips into depravity must need be temporary sessions, wherein the errant parts "snap" back into place after the horrid experience is ended, whether by death or by repentance.
