"[...]maybe if the Ten Commandments were hanging on the wall in the school that he was in, maybe he wouldn’t have taken a shot at the [former] president."

I dunno, isn't one of the commandments about worshipping false idols? People have killed for Christianity before; what is different about it now that would discourage someone from removing a false idol? Nothing. Instead, the religious right promotes violence (just against the Other), so wouldn't be discouraging violence at all.

I almost hope their religion is real - if it is, they're going straight down when they die. It's a warming feeling. 😊
