From the original article:
“The truth is, since school prayer was banned in 1962, there has been a meteoric rise in the rates of violent crime...”
Murder rate nationally is about the same today as it was in 1962. Granted violent crime has gone up since 1962, but it has trended downward since its peak in 1991. Has more school prayer gone on since then, or did school prayer end immediately after 1962 to acocunt for the growth during that time? Remember I am not trying to prove causality about establishment causing violent crime, I am only arguing that stopping it is not correlated with violent crime. The much more ambitious claim is being made by your article.
It is a darn shame about statistics. If you cannot show correlation, then you sure can’t show causation. I have shown no correlation for the claim, therefore you can’t claim causality.
It’s also a darn shame you missed the entire point of the article. Are you really suggesting we’re better off now in our schools and our society than we were in 1962? If you are, you are completely clueless. If you agree that we’re not, then what do you attribute to the decline? There’s no question, like the article said, that this decline is a moral problem, not a political one. Morality is at the root of every problem we have. And causation of moral problems? Let’s see ... yeah, that might have something to do with rejecting God and doing things our own way.

Your comments are irrelevant to the mass murder. Try again.
