Jason:  I'm hardly suggesting that we should "hide our heads in the sand" regarding the  plethora of shootings we experiencing in America.  These shootings are a nationwide tragedy and no community is immune.  We need a very serious national response to address the causes of such tragedies.  As I read your posts, they don't suggest any actions to address those causes.

Instead, you seem to be using this tragedy as a platform for a rather generic religious revivalist sermon........  as an opportunity to catch people (to use your phrase) uncomfortable.."people don't change when they are comfortable." and convert them to your view on religion.  

The First Amendment protects your right to do so.  The same First Amendment protects my right to comment that I find it rather tacky.
