Why did the shooting at NIU occur?
Chuck Norris explains:
… As I’ve said in different ways in different settings, we teach our children they are nothing more than glorified apes, yet we don’t expect them to act like monkeys. We place our value in things, yet expect our children to value people. We disrespect one another, but expect our children to respect others. We terminate children in the womb, but are surprised when children outside the womb terminate other children. We push God to the side, but expect our children to be godly. We’ve abandoned moral absolutes, yet expect our children to obey the universal commandment, “Thou shall not murder.”
…
Do we now believe we can consider morality and religion optional, without suffering civil and societal repercussions, despite the warning of our Founding Fathers like John Adams, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other”?
So according to Norris:
Evolution caused the shooting.
Abortion caused the shooting.
Atheists caused the shooting.
And I’m guessing Mike Huckabee (whom Norris supports) could prevent such things?
Unbeknown to many, GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has written several books while during his tenure as governor of Arkansas. A decade ago he wrote “Kids Who Kill,” which examines and seeks remedies for school shootings. In it, he points to many modern day factors that contribute to a culture of killing. Among them are a devaluing and disregard for human life… an abandonment of a fellowship and moral center of community like a church; and a complete disregard for moral absolutes.
Or maybe the shooter just needed to take his medications.
