- The truth is incontrivertible. And it always wins out. You can't disprove Pascal's wager. All who believe that there is life after death, also believe in God. If you believe in Satan, remember, he believes in God.

- I was sick when I saw what happened on Monday with the horrible murders of the little Amish girls. I was angered and I wanted revenge on their behalf. When I saw Mr. Rohrbough%u2019s Free Speech message frankly I was shocked. I was hearing what has been in my heart and what I believe needs to resound throughout this nation.
The US is in a moral vacuum where the existence of God is debated like some science project. When someone chooses to ignore the truth of God or his sovereignty they begin hardening their hearts toward God ending in separation from God. I firmly believe this is the root of our many morally compromised issues in this country. God gives everyone the capacity to understand Him, as well as the free will to choose whether to pursue that knowledge. The truth is His existence is written into every person's conscience. But too many people ignore reality b/c it interferes with their preferred lifestyle. I agree with Mr. Rohrbough that his country is in a moral free-fall. Our society can see it clearly in our schools with child predators, violence, race issues, and mediocrity and so on. For me the choice is clear, having God in my life to guide me each day is far better than what the entire world has to offer and my children are too precious.
The Amish seem to be a very loving and peace going community. Their forgiveness and outreach to the shooter%u2019s family should not be forgotten. - Reply to this comment
- WAIT A MINUTE!!! This isn't one of %u201COUR%u201D schools!!! When is the last time you went to an Amish school? And it wasn't a student doing this! This man went to school in the "good old days" when he wasn't taught these godless teachings. This man went to church. He was taught all those good things that we are supposed to learn. So what the heck does ANY of what this man said have to do with the issue???
This guy simply exploited his tragic loss of his son and his chance to sympathize with those who are also suffering to promote his own private radical agenda to the public, none of which had ANYTHING to do with what happened to those poor children. So, if my son dies, do I get to go on TV and talk about anything I want? To force a religion on those around me? That's just sick. I am disgusted and appalled that CBS confuses free speech and abuse of opportunity. - Reply to this comment
- Jesus either is who he says he is or he is the biggest fraud who ever walked this earth.
Now for all you people who don't believe in Jesus, before you decide that Christianity is bad. DO THIS.
1. Don't judge Christianity or Jesus based on other people's ideas of it or him.
2. Get a bible and read the first 4 books of the New Testament. See how Jesus dealt with people and situations. You will see that he is not a fraud and if you just ask him into your heart and believe him you will have ever lasting life - Reply to this comment
- This country was founded on Godly principles. Even if some of the founding fathers were not Christian they lived in a society that was based on Christian principles.
The more we push God out of our lives the further we get away from his influence the more of these atrocities we are going to witness.
It isn't God doing these things, its the nature of Man without the influence of God in his life that causes these things.
By the way just because a person says he is a Christian, or was raised Christian doesn't mean he is a Christian.

- katie couric? Whose she? She AIN"T No (yea! I used a double negative!) Barbara Walters. Let's see you in a debate with Don Wildman or James Dobson, Katie. I really don't care who or what you believe in Ms. Couric. That moment of airtime was given to Mr. Rohrbough to voice his "free-speech". The rest of the news time is allowed to you. You could have kept your negative comment to yourself.

- I feel very sorry for Brian Rohrbough's tragic loss of his son. He is searching for a reason for actions that defy understanding. He states that the removal of prayer, the teaching of evolution in public schools and abortion are the cause of these shootings of school children by deranged individuals.
He is looking for an answer to he "why" in the wrong place. Europe, which is populated by "heathen Godless liberals", with legal abortion does not have similar types of random killings by strangers. They do have politically motivated terrorist attacks but not the murder of school children. In fact, murder rates are a fraction of the U.S. rate.
What is the major difference between our societies that leads to such a huge difference in the murder rates? The difference is the unrestricted access to guns in the U.S. The "heathen Godless liberal" Europeans" do not murder each other as much as us God fearing gun toting Americans. Go figure!
I do not understand why anyone would attack innocent school children, but the easy access to guns makes it easy for deranged individuals to act out their nightmares. Human beings have always suffered from mental illnesses and moral problems and always will. The the imposition of a Christian theocracy in the U.S. will not have an affect on individuals with these problems.
I also know that the sale of guns in the U.S. will most likely never be restricted in the near future, so very sadly we can expect more of these tragadies. - Reply to this comment
- Sorry Jeff, but Pascal's Wager has been refuted about a million times. It's one of the worst arguments for belief ever devised.

- "With savages, the weak in body and mind are soon eliminated; and those that survive commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health. We civilised men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed and the sick; we institute poor laws; and our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of everyone to the last moment. There is reason to believe that vaccination has preserved thousands who, from a weak constitution, would formerly have succumbed to smallpox. Thus the weak members of civilised society propagate their kind.
No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. It is surprising how soon a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a domestic race; but, excepting in the case of man himself, hardly anyone is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed."
-Charles Darwin
"animals"
That's all we are according to evolution.
But in Christianity, we're worth the value of God's own Son. So which places a higher value on human life? Hint: not the one being taught in our schools. - Reply to this comment
- I agree, the rights denied to women and blacks back then were wrong. But for every morally wrong deed back then,there are countless today.
The morals of today are very lacking ,to say the least. Once upon a time, the pictures in National Geographic were considered borderline pornographic. Now look at the filth portrayed these days. It's everywhere, television, movies , magazines and the internet. Anything goes these days and God's patience will not last forever.
Back then, how often did you hear about school massacres? You didn't. It was a simpler and safer time. You could leave your doors unlocked and not worry about some crackhead breaking in.
Our Lord is a very patient and loving God but even His patience has its limits. Be prepared. - Reply to this comment
