The Virginia shootings are tragic, this is undeniable. People are so fricken nuts; it's amazing.

So, what do we do now?

We pray.

Huh?

That's right, we pray.

But why?

Because we need Gods help now more than ever.

Woh woh woh, hang on there sport. God? The same guy that had absolutely no power to stop the tragedy in the first place?

Yeh, him.

The guy that knows everything, the guy that knew this was going to happen and just let it? That sadistic prick?

Yep.

But...won't he just ignore you now also? I mean, if this dick ever had the power to grant wishes he sure has been pretty lax lately. Yunno, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, wars all over the world etc.

Well, he works in mysterious ways.

What?!?! What the fuck does that even mean?!?!

We dare not question the will of God.

God? The guy that does nothing but ignore you your entire life and take all of the credit if something good happens? What's he gonna do if I question him? Not answer? That'd be a big switch!

There is no God. There was no god when this asshole started shooting people and there will continue to be no god when the morners stand around talking to themselves (praying). Asking an imaginary being to step in and make things right, when this same imaginary being has CLEARLY demosntrated that it is a figment of your imagination, is just idiotic.

I just can't stand it. People are so incredible to me. They completely disassociate God with the murders while in the VERY NEXT BREATH asking him for help and guidance. What?!!? That doesn't make any kind of sense.

Why is it that people are so willing to cover for this absentee imaginary sky pixie? Our president spoke at the VA vigil just a few minutes ago:

"Those whose lives were taken did nothing to deserve their fate," Bush said in six-minute address. "They were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. ...

"I hope you know that people all over this country are thinking about you and asking God to provide comfort for all who have been affected," he added.

God had nothing to do with the first part, but everything to do with the next? What a crock of horse shit.

As a people, we can not just keep pretending that everything is going to be alright because we believe in Santa Claus. Our delusions will not make the world change, they will only give us something to focus on while we ignore reality.
