In Aurora, the Clergy of ‘faith’ seek answers

1 Comment

Mitch Hamilton is a pastor of the Mississippi Avenue Baptist Church.  The church is located near the theater of the shooting that killed 12 and wounded dozens during the midnight screening of Batman.

He is not sure if any of his church members are among the dead.

Other clergy across the city of Aurora are struggling to respond to the tragedy.

“It’s impossible to be prepared for actions that reek of such evil… It’s not as if any of us have answers… Evil is in our midst…” said Rabbi Richard Rheins of Temple Sinai in the city of Denver, Colorado.

Another Rabbi, Joe Black from Temple Emanuel understands that his congregation will be looking for answers.  “I’ve been a rabbi for 25 years, and I know that I don’t have any answers. And if anybody says they do, I’m concerned,”

Midnight Movie Massacre: Survivor of June mall shooting killed in Colorado theater

2 Comments

It turns out that Jessica Ghawi, aka Jessica Redfield who was killed at the Batman movie premiere in Aurora, had just escaped a Toronto mall shooting on June 2, 2012.

Her experience was documented in her blog.  Her entries describe the sense/feelings that she had before the shooting occurred.

“This empty, almost sickening feeling won’t go away…I noticed this feeling when I was in the Eaton Center in Toronto just seconds before someone opened fire in the food court. An odd feeling which led me to go outside and unknowingly out of harm’s way. It’s hard for me to wrap my mind around how a weird feeling saved me from being in the middle of a deadly shooting.

Louie Gohmert: Aurora Shootings Result Of ‘Ongoing Attacks On Judeo-Christian Beliefs’

According to Republican Louie Gohmert of Texas, the shootings that occurred in Aurora, Colorado are the result of “ongoing attacks on Judeo-Christian beliefs”.

The Heritage Foundation’s show, Istook Live interviewed Gohmert and asked him why he believes these acts take place.  Gohmert indicated that the Christian values in this country have weakened.  “Some of us happen to believe that when our founders talked about guarding our virtue and freedom, that that was important…People say … where was God in all of this?”

Gohmert goes on to say “It does make me wonder, with all those people in the theater, was there nobody that was carrying a gun that could have stopped this guy more quickly?”

Fear grips movie goers, Aurora, Colorado

The Dark Knight Rises indeed.

“People were running everywhere, running on top of me, like kicking me, jumping over me. And there were bodies on the ground… I froze up. I was scared. I honestly thought I was going to die.” recalled Christopher Ramos at the midnight premiere of Batman.

“The image in our heads is stuck in there. I still have the ticket right here and honestly, I’m never going to forget this night at all. Because it was the first time I saw something that was real. Like a real-life nightmare that was there, not dreaming of,”

“I’m with coworkers and we’re on the floor praying to God we don’t get shot, and the gunshots continue on and on, and when the sound finally stopped, we started to get up and people were just bleeding,” according to another theatergoer.

2 Comments

Study result statistics that some may find shocking about gay and lesbian marriage.

Study #1.  Findings from Sex in America: A Definitive Survey, by: Michael, Gagnon, Laumann, and Kolata, cites a study of homosexual male couples, that was conducted by gay researchers.

100% of homosexual couples had experienced infidelity during the first 5 years.

Study #2.  Researcher findings based on a telephone survey found “…even committed homosexual relationships display a fundamental incapacity for the faithfulness and commitment that is axiomatic to the institution of marriage…”

Study #3.  From Western Sexuality: Practice and Precept in Past and Present Times by M. Pollack that looked at male homosexuality.  He found that “…”few homosexual relationships last longer than two years, with many men reporting hundreds of lifetime partners… Even in those homosexual relationships in which the partners consider themselves to be in a committed relationship, the meaning of ‘committed’ typically means something radically different than in heterosexual marriage.”
