It seems even the hope of the religious right showing a modicum of decency is in vain. Yesterday they wouldn’t stop trying to take advantage of the tragedy, and today we are getting more of the same.
Christian Broadcasting Network’s New Chief Political Correspondent David Brody has this drivel for us, concerning the awful things Huckabee and Fischer said yesterday about the shooting being the result of “god not being allowed in schools”:
Guess what folks? Huckabee and Fischer are not alone. There are millions of evangelicals who believe the same thing. This is not heartless. It’s based on the biblical principle of reaping and sowing. Not that these little children sowed anything but are our schools left unprotected because of the past actions of our nation when it comes to removing God from our public schools?
If you ever needed proof that belief in the Bible has the potential to turn human beings into revolting brutes, this is it. The school shooting is the nation’s fault. If you heard this in any context other than a religious statement, would you call it anything other than treason? Bin Laden also did what he did because according to him, we deserved it.
The conversation is now all about banning guns but should the conversation really be about allowing God back into public schools? Food for thought. It’s a discussion worth having.
Sure, a theocracy is a panacea for all of our problems.

Hmm. So god didn’t listen to the victims’ prayers because they their hands were full of blood?
