Mike needs to learn the subtle art of paragraphing.
But, he is essentially correct. No single act like Newtown can be directly traced to any single act of abandonment of God. However, in general, these acts should not be surprising in light of our nation's general turning away from God.
I firmly believe that whether or not God exists is a personal choice. When you say he doesn't exist, he doesn't, and you are on your own in a Godless world, destined to an eternal Godless existence. When you say he exists, you join Him in His creation, with all the blessings and benefits, eternally. When a nation generally acknowledges God, He blesses them. When they disavow Him, he simply does not bless them, and they become more subject to the evil that man creates.
Now, I know most of you here are either committed believers in God or committed atheists. I am not looking for an argument on the existence of God (though I know it is already afoot). As a matter of fact, I am saying that, if you say He does not exist, He doesn't--for you. God will let you make that choice. You probably don't want my pity, but I pity folks who deny themselves God's freely given gift.
What I say is mainly directed at those still wondering and searching. Let the Spirit of God into your life. It is amazing when it happens, and you will KNOW it. He will touch you often to varying degrees, and it will still amaze you every time it happens.
