Don't blame God, blame the NRA!
Other countries have wackos and no religion, but they have strict gun laws and no school shootings!
"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit." -Albert Schweitzer
