“Who Pulled The Trigger?”
I am angry! Yes, the Bible says, “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath” (Eph. 4:26). I have no plans to do something that would cause me to sin but I am angry. I am angry over the deaths of 17 people and the injuries of others. Of course, the blame game has begun. The President is being blamed, the Congress is being blamed, the NRA is being blamed, the FBI is being blamed, parents are being blamed and the school is being blamed. Blame is probably being placed on others of whom I do not know. In my humble judgment blame is being placed in the wrong place. While it is true that Nikolas Cruz pulled the trigger, there are fingerprints of others on that trigger.
Let’s go back a few years. From the fifties to the nineties we didn’t hear of school shootings. From 1966-1991 there were shootings that resulted in 33 dead (only one of them was a High School, the others were college). However, from 1991-2018 there have been 177 deaths from shootings in schools (114 in K-12; 63 in colleges or universities), (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_shootings_in_the_United_States). Questions? From 1966-1991, did we have Presidents of the United States? Did we have a congress? Did we have the FBI? Did the NRA exist? Did we have parents? Did we have schools? You know the answer to all of those questions is yes! So what’s the difference? Here is my list of those who pulled the trigger with Nikolas Cruz.
The ACLU pulled the trigger with Nikolas Cruz. They have litigated every case possible to remove God, Christ, the Bible, righteousness from our society. If you so much as bow your head as if you are going to pray in a school they will sue you. Unfortunately, school boards and administrators have cow-towed to the ACLU. Their goal is to take any remnant of Christianity from our society. America has let them do it.
Our Supreme Court pulled the trigger with Nikolas Cruz. “In two landmark decisions – Engel v. Vitale on June 25, 1962, and Abington School District v. Schempp on June 17, 1963 – the Supreme Court declared school-sponsored prayer and Bible readings unconstitutional.” Now we suffer the fruits of those decisions. Yet, isn’t it interesting, they have been praying on that campus.
Atheist and Evolutionist pulled the trigger. Atheist have told us there is no God; when we die we just become dust in the wind. Evolutionist tells us that we come from some lower form of animal and we begin to act like what we are told we come from. Our children are taught evolution in the school. What do you expect?
Abortionist pulled the trigger. We kill babies in the womb, even late term abortion which is, “A late termination of pregnancy often refers to an induced ending of pregnancy after the 20th week of gestation. The exact point when a pregnancy becomes late-term, however, is not clearly defined.” If it is ok to kill a baby why not a fourteen-year-old? Those who encourage and support abortion pulled the trigger.
Parents pulled the trigger. Parents have allowed their children to play violent video games on iPads and other technology devises. These children have shot and killed many in these games, so it is no small stretch to do it literally.
When you think of these wonderful young people and adults who were gunned down think of what all of us can do to restore the God of the Bible, the Bible, and Prayer back into our society. Pray to get rid of evolution out of schools. Let the students and teachers place Bibles back on their desk without being threatened by the ACLU.
