The incomprehensible murder of 10 innocent people in a mass shooting Saturday, May 14, in Buffalo, New York, has shocked and saddened us all.
Many now ask: What more does it take for our country to recommit ourselves in our trust to a wise and loving God who will lead us out of the darkness and show us how to live in peace?
If you think that “a loving God” as anything to do with gun violence, how can you explain that the most secular, least “godly” countries in the world have the lowest rate of gun violence? It sounds like you believe that your God is so evil that he/she (?) lets innocent people be gunned down because others don’t believe in him or her?
