Reasons for School Shootings according to a Preachers:
We will not say much about mental illness. We will not say mental illness plays zero (0) part is some shootings, but certainmly not all.  When something happens that cannot be explained or will not be explained by spiritual aspects or plain and simple human nature, mental illness gives it a name and that is that. When persons see an angel, it is given a name and all spiritual aspects are ignored or “poo poo’d away.”  When lindbergh saw an entity help him cross the ocean, doctors gave it a name and that was that.  When “something” helped persons escaped, doctors gave it name and that was that.

We know a young girl, a woman now who saw her mother die in a traffic accident, this girl was riding “shot-gun” at the time.  A “person” was there instantly and pulled the girl away from the accident and helped her to a curb and stayed with her until first responders arrived. The young girl later asked where the helper was to thank him, and others who saw her get safely to the curb told her she walked by herself.

The thing about these persons who tell of these events have nothing to gain by these admissions but grief by most, even by some that should be able to believe. When you are trying to evaluatenwhether a person is being honest, one (1) thing to consider is if the person has something to gain by what they say and if this person is generally honest and  truthul.  Have others had the same experience and are these others credible.

Joan of Arc is a women or rather a girl from history (1412) that claimed to hear celestial voices speaking to her and giving her instructions.  Many to this very day say she was schizophrenic and mentally ill. Let us apply our guidelines from above:
*What does she have to gain?  Death, societal and religious persecution, shunning by family and friends and other good things.
*Was Joan normally honest and upright? She was.
*Have others had the same experience and were they credible? Others experienced the same, IE. Prophets, have others that were uncredible, to be honest, yes.  But did the uncredible have other issues and were they generally honest and well?  No.

Joan of Arc, while a teen-ager, led France to great victories and independence against England.  When she was introduced to King Phillip of France, he hid among many others to see if this “prophetess” could find him (At these, times there were not photos of royalty, most did not see their king).  An impostor sat upon the throne and was dressed in royal regalia.  Joan walked up to him, looked at him for a bit, turned from the impostor and walked among to crowd, she finally walked up to an indivual and bowed, she bowed before the KIng of France.  All were shocked.

The King directed everyone to depart, and sat with Joan for a time.  Finally, the King exited and told the people he believed in Joan, promoted her to lead his armies. Of course many doubted her for a while until following her as their leader!

Why did I write the above regarding mental illness and spiritual activities? To make the case that not all things should be marked up to menatl Illness.  If anyone we to be marked down as a truly mentally ill person, would it not be Jesus Christ, who made truly remarkable statements and admissions? Yet, intellectaul honest phsychiatrists and psychologists that have studied this Man, like Pliates and royalty, during Christ’s time, “find no fault in this [M]an.”

“Again, we write the above on mental illnesses to demonstrate that it is not the only option, no, not at all.

Other reasons for this violent trend are:
*Simple human nature. The human mind and nature is set to violence and evil imagining
*Victim of bullying. Bullies are an army of Dr. Frankensteins. They create these killers and these killers turn on them.
*Publication and reporting of killers name. Some persons see the exaltation of thes killers and desire the same fame.
*Not reporting more on the victims and their families. The destruction these killings have on friends and families of the victims are not focused on enough.
*Not executing the killer after due process and being found guilty. This should be logical, This should be plain and simple, this should be common to those with sense
*Weapons not being secured in the home. In most of these killings the weapon was obtained from the home and the weapon was easily accessed.
*Persons not paying attention to signs before shootings. Friends and family do not pay attention to signs, flags, and things the killer actually says before shootings.
*Political Correctness. “See something, say something” if you want to be considered racist….again political correctness.
*Politicians, especially with the left mindset or rather being possessed by out of control emotions. These leftminded politicians and their voters pay no attention to common sense, to facts, to history.  The burden and much of the weight of these killings should be put on their shoulders
*Teaching on evolution. No soul, why not kill?  No afterlife consequences, why not kill?  Only the strong survive, why not bully the weak and why not kill the bully?
*The mixing of a carnal nature, a dead spirit given to sin, and demonic influence and violent video games and the glorification of violence equal killing.
*Broken families.  This should be honest to a person with common sense.

How to TRY and stop these shooting:
*Do the opposite of the above.
*Begin promoting Spiritual matters such as the law of God and the Gospel of Christ, it is only this that will change the nature of the lawless.
*Stop glorifying these killers, do not report their names,and start focusing on the destruction they cause.
*Begin using words likes coward, loser, small-minded, weak, bullied and other derogatory words to describe their actions.
*Prosecute parents, that fail to reasonably contain their weapons, as accomplises.
*Stress to all, the importance of reporting signs and allow them to remain anonymous.
*Execute the killer after due process and the killer is found guilty and it is at this point the identity can be reported and maybe not even then.  This execution must take place within weeks of conviction and must be televised. Methods of execution is to be Electric chair, guillotine, hanging, or shooting squad. The execution must be graphic and not peaceful or humane. Parents or guardians should be put in front and their reactions televised.  Some, no doubt will call this extreme and inhuman. Let me ask these persons a question, which is more inhumane, the killing of the innocent and the increase of these killing or the execution of the murderer and the pain it causes the killers own family.  Feax humanity and political correctness and those that propagate the such, again, bear the weight of these killings.

During the week or so, while the killer is being prepared for execution, the killer should be allowed to see the news, her others speak of him or her as a coward, weak, as bullied, as small-minded and the effects upon the families of those killed should be streamed to his or her cell for hours a day. The Gospel should be presented to the killer also. In other words, the only things the killer should see on television is what he or she has caused, what the public thinks of them (But the name of the killer is not to be given), and religious programming.

The above will probably never come to fruition because as usual, those things that make the most sense will never be considered seriously, not in the times in which we live. In the times in which we live, God is continually ignored and resisted and affronted and offended, killers are glorified, criminals are not properly dealt with, and assinine and innane ideas are considered, the small minded and a small number of persons receive the most attention. Attention is given to the silliest of ideologies and other reasons.

In times past, God has turned on peoples for less and sent a spirit of dimness, and idiocey upon them. He has allowed death, disasters and plagues to overwhelm, and has released demonic forces to overtake many.

You can agree with what I have written, you can agree with some of waht I have written, you can disagree with some or you can disagree with all. But please, please, please have a reason(s) why and provide for another reason(s) with support(s), this is how discussions work and this is how one (1) presents a well thought out argument.

In the future we will write (DV) on the differences between convictions, compromise, and stubbornness and help others to decide which they are and what to do about it.

Godspeed.
