@ Droopy,

Do you not want to answer me? You do not want to explain to me; why you have to give no comment to me, but a Smiley? Are you so arrogant or only are you pretending?

He really is that arrogant. He believes that Michael Moore is satan's child. So, by invoking that name you automatically lose according to Droopy.

Its not a smiley. That emoticon is termed, "Confused."

That's probably the best description of him I've ever run across, at least from a theological point of view, but "pathological liar" and "intellectual hack" will do just fine from a historic, empirical, moral, and philosophical standpoint.

America Doesn’t Have a Gun Problem, It Has a Christianity Problem.

Another tragic shooting has rocked the town of Aurora, Colorado, where 12 people were killed in a movie theater last year. Today news emerged of a gunman barricaded inside a townhouse who fired shots at police from a second-story window before he was killed when SWAT officers stormed the home Saturday. Once inside, they found the bodies of three other adults, authorities said.

A neighbor has named the suspected gunman as 33-year-old Sonny Archuleta. Police officers also used this name while negotiating with the suspect via bullhorn, according to the Asscoiated Press. As this story develops, RYOT has discovered new details about the suspected shooter.

A devout Christian, Archuleta regularly attended a local church and posted frequently about his faith on Twitter. There are no clues that point to him being disturbed. His last tweet, just two days ago, talks about some music he downloaded.

But, quite clearly, he was not, in point of fact, a "devout Christian" at all. Take a run, Ludwigm, through the Ten Commandments or the Articles of Faith and see if you can find anything that supports, or does not unambiguously condemn mass murder.

Mass murder, as all murder or unlawful use of violence, is not the province of morally healthy, balanced, ethically mature, law-abiding human beings, which this individual, by definition, was not.

The fact of the matter still remains that disarming entire populations without discrimination on the assumption that having a weapon of itself motivates or generates criminal behavior among otherwise morally and intellectually mature people people is the province, historically, of socialists, National Socialists, and fascists, not of free, open societies.

That is the province of tyrants and despots.

It also would never have prevented the Theater shooting, or the recent school shooting, or the vast majority of the other rare, spectacular killing sprees of individual deranged sociopaths.

Droopy doesn't make sense in English. I shutter to think how he would translate into German.

May I put some questions to you?

A ) If the LDS mass murders forbids, why they then protected mass murderers?
I mean the murderers of Mountain Meadows with that; and this one Nazi criminal fled to the USA with the help of members; like John Singer (see the German-speaking link= http://www.mormonen-wissen.de/Nazis-in-Utah.htm) and Arthur Zander, the branch president of Helmuth Huebener(one of the few LDS resistance fighters) who give him to the Gestapo(http://www.mormonen-wissen.de/Helmuth-H.ue.bener.htm)?
(B) Why the LDS then baptizes mass murderers like Hitler, Mao, Stalin and Genghis Khan in their temples? (see: http://www.mormonen-wissen.de/Adolf-Hit ... ormone.htm)
(C )And why the Danites which carried out masses of murders of nonmembers and members fallen were created? (see: http://www.josephsmith.de.tl/Die-Daniten.htm)

An american source, in plain English stated that.
"A devout Christian, Archuleta regularly attended a local church and posted frequently about his faith on Twitter."
You are saying the opposite. Then please CFR. Please quote any source which says he was not "devout christian".

Should I search other sources?
Quite clearly, in point of fact, I've read it on a Hungarian news site. Then searched for the English ones. "Ones" is a stupid word here, (for my Hungarian thinking) because there are many.

Take a run, Ludwigm, through the Ten Commandments or the Articles of Faith and see if you can find anything that supports, or does not unambiguously condemn mass murder.

None in either of them. They are short enough to not handle every atrocity people and gods can commit.

Only the Old Testament supports mass murder, describing YHWH's deeds.

What with gangs, video games and between meal snacks, no wonder people keep getting killed. However, that is no reason to put the onus on atomic disintegrator weapons as the enemy. Watch out for the reorganized Twinkie instead!!!
