The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

done
I can't say much else about that except: Oh brother!
The "real reason" is likely Temporal Lobe Epileptic seizures... Charles Whitman suffered from them too (look him up)
The temporal lobe is not directly connected to the motor cortex, so the seizures are not detected directly. People with these seizures tend to
1) make out detailed, rambling plans to hurt others
2) suffer from religious delusions (sorry for the redundancy)
3) display violent, impulsive anger
4) suffer from amnesia following anger outbursts
5) and suffer extreme remorse for their actions - leading to suicide.
"Hitler burned people like Anne Frank, for that we call him evil.
"God" burns Anne Frank eternally. For that, theists call him 'good.'
Wow...that video is shaped like one GIANT strawman.
Wow. I guess God answers to a higher power and authority. U.S. schools. What a wimp!
Is it just me or am I the only one that wants the parents in jail in all of these instances?

Blaming parents is a knee jerk reaction. I know for a fact my parents couldn't have stopped me if I'd wanted to do something like this. And it's not because they didn't teach me better or were lacking in supervision. I'm an individual myself, and I alone are responsible for my actions. I'm quite capable of concealing them well enough to carry them out. There's a limit to what a parent can be expected to do.

Yeah right, like the almighty God would be held back by the decisions of some infidel school officials. Why couldn't he just go Old Testament on them? ZAP!
JESUS SAVES!!! .... and takes only half damage!
Damn. I would never have thought epilepsy would result in such bizarre behavior
People who think there is something they refer to as god don't ask enough questions.
Well it's not epilepsy in the classic sense, it's undetectable behaviorally - there are no physical seizures, and it's not occuring across the neo cortex, it is completely localized to the amygdala..... finally, it's rare, it only occurs after low serotonin levels, and its completely treatable - either with anti seizures meds: Dilantin, or with SSRIs or serenics... any sertonin agonist.

That is so idiotic.
So, let's get this straight: There'd be less school violence if we prayed in schools? How about not. And the video is so retarded. It says that "they wanted prayer out of schools and we said 'ok, fine.'" They didn't say 'ok, fine', they fought for their childish beliefs. Sure, like everyone's Christian and if you're not, you shoot up your school and look at child porn.

That's right, it's all those godless atheists that caused every school shooting. (bangs head against wall in frustrated disgust) I came to this site for the sole purpose of procrastination on my research paper and stumbled across this little gem. WTF?! Are you telling me that there is a sudden correlation between praying, giving boys condoms and school shootings? And what the hell was that little blurb about putting pictures of young children on the internet and we consider that free speech? My computer is pretty slow or I'd watch it again. If this guys is trying to allude that kiddie porn is protected under free speech he's loonier than I thought. And didn't Cho liken himself to Jesus or something like that? WHY ARE PEOPLE SO WILLFULLY IGNORANT????!!!!
If god takes life he's an indian giver
Although it happens all the time, it saddens me when people use a tragedy such as this to attempt to publicize their agenda.
I'm not prone to violence at all, but if the kind of religious junk these people are promoting for public schools had been in practice "back in my day", I probably would have hit someone with my notebook.

Here, at last, is a rebuttal video to the above load of crap:

It just gets us all so frustrated. They're so delusional and pathetic.
This YouTube clip is merely a narration of a piece of glurge that's been around the email circuit several times. I have a fundie cousin who sends me this crap all the time. I generally refute it point by point and email it back to him. But he keeps trying.
One point in the clip that really pissed me off is the bit about "we said okay" to kiddie porn. Equating that with freedom of speech is an outrage against reason. Nobody every said okay to any such thing. The reason that that kind of porn is spreading so much is that the internet is impossible to police. But when that material is found, people go to jail for its possession.
No doubt a christian wrote that diatribe. And it is typical of christian rants that things like the kiddie porn argument are thrown in for their emotional effect, truth playing no part in the argument.
Probably Chuck Norris, the same guy who blamed the Virginia Tech shootings on secularist agendas--and violence in film!
