CNN is lamenting the fact that GOP frontrunner for the U.S. Senate in Alabama Judge Roy Moore told pastors and Christians in a speech last month that shootings and killings in American society are the result of removing God from schools. Andrew Kaczynski’s KFile on CNN dug up a video of Moore from late August speaking at Citizen Impact USA, making the comments that have CNN and the GOP establishment in Washington similarly freaked out.
“We are losing the acknowledgement of God and I’m standing here talking to Christians and pastors and I’m telling you we’re losing the acknowledgement of God,” Moore said, per CNN’s report.
After, per Kaczynski, Moore began “reciting several verses from the Old Testament book of Hosea that deal with lack of knowledge of God,” the front-running candidate for the U.S. Senate in Alabama argued that shootings and killings in U.S. society today is because of the lack of God in public life.
“You wonder why we’re having shootings, and killings here in 2017? Because we’ve asked for it,” Moore said. “We’ve taken God out of everything. We’ve taken prayer out of school, we’ve taken prayer out of council meetings.”

Yes it is . . . .
Unfortunately, God is absent from a lot of families too.

Few people believe in nothing. Our government has so thoroughly stomped on Christianity that satan/allah and earth worship are ascendant.
“shootings and killings in U.S. society today is because of the lack of God in public life.”
So very true!!
He ain’t wrong.
The Bible ought to be the main textbook used in schools. It’s the greatest literature ever written. It’s also the best book of history, philosophy, moral values, good government, science, etc. ever written. It’s really got almost everything one needs to study.
Not exactly wrong. But unfortunately/fortunately you can’t force religion on anyone. If someone doesn’t what to worship that’s their right. It isn’t against the law not to pray or go to church.
What you said! Coming soon to a Millennial Kingdom near you! ;-)
I’m not referring to the “forcing” of prayer on children — whether that’s right or wrong. However, what Moore said IS correct. When prayer was removed from schools, things DID deteriorate.
So we have made a trade-off. We have saved the children from being exposed to prayers in school and been PC. In return, we have animal behavior, guards with weapons, etc. Maybe that’s a good thing. {s}
Exactly...this isn’t a theocracy
We need a 100 Roy Moore’s in the US Senate.
Well, if "theocracy" is defined as a form of government in which a deity is the source from which all authority derives, then I guess you're right; we ought nowadays define ourselves as a "satanocracy".
Absolutely. Sent the judge $50 yesterday. Payback for McConnell and companies fiasco in Mississippi when Cochran was reelected.
But which prayers? Catholic or protestant? Southern Baptist prayers or Mormon? Who would regulate what type of prayers would be said? How would we accommodate Jewish kids that don’t believe in Christ as the son of God? What about Hindu kids or Buddhist kids? Maybe a board could be created that would make sure the right kind of prayer was said and to make sure those that didn’t participate would be “watched”.
Dear Mr. Moore: a fig leaf was removed from schools.
The root of the problem was God disinvited from hearts well before that.
You might be a crack judge but you are a terrible theologian.
Exactly...
The job isn’t for Caesar here!
It’s for the evangelist and the preacher and the believer.
We have a classic case of trying to band-aid the symptoms to cure the disease.
Never worked! Never will!
