Shooting Of U of Virginia Football Players

[Hagar]

No idea why, but what a shame to have three young men cut down in the prime of life.  Really folks, look at the results of taking prayer out of school?  No doubt other factors, but durn, killing folks is not the answer.

I believe he was a disgruntled ex-player. All those he shot were teammates.

Prayers for those families.  And speaking of prayers, I recently went to an LSU football game and they had a “moment of reflection” where a student prayed over the stadium speaker system before the game.  Gotta tell you, there weren’t many sober in that stadium that night but the fact they still pray before games?  I became more of a Tiger fan that night.

LSU's been kind of a mess lately with institutional control issues, but they should be applauded for this.

I almost fell out of my chair.  I asked the folks I was with when the young man finished, “did we actually just have a prayer at a major college football game.” (LSU was playing Bama).  And the fact that it was so shocking is a sad commentary on our society.  I tend to agree with my buddy @Hagar and wonder how many of society’s ills can be traced to this absence.  And while I do believe in separation of church and state (everyone should have right to choose their own religion or no religion), we are also  supposed to be “one nation under God.”   And a non-denominational prayer at Death Valley was unbelievably refreshing.

You’re correct.  And while it’s not the only thing, the fact that it’s been pushed high on the Socialist agenda indicates how much it’ll help their efforts.  And yes old buddy, it is a sad commentary.  An extremely sad commentary.  A sign of the end being near?  Wouldn’t go that far, but I wouldn’t discount it out of hand either.
