...Scriptures for Christians and Jews fault murder and theft on human hatred and covetousness, not on weapons, which are morally neutral, to be employed for good or evil. But the “God Not Guns” coalition prefers to blame inanimate objects rather the corruptions of the human heart. The Religious Left typically locates salvation in legislation, not God. And its secularized salvation inevitably demands the expansion of state power at the expense of the individual. Who, then, are the real “idolaters?” writes Mark D. Tooley.

The Liberals are the ones who try to make the killer out to be the victim amd making excuses for them.

I thought women were the first proclaimers of the resurrection of Jesus. You may say I don't know the Bible, but I know that much.
Ultimately its about a reasonably safe work environment. We drive cars. In an accident its the driver of the car not the inanimate car itself that does the killing. But would society allow a lack of regulation in terms of the speed you could travel in that car through certain areas like schools for instance?
Would we accept that underage kids or unlicensed kids could get behind the wheel of one?
No, conmon sense usually prevails and we accept that for cars to be a blessing to society, they have to operate within a very heavily regulated system, where the cars have to meet a certain basic level of reliability and the people who would drive them have to go through a well established licensing system.
Yet guns which if representing a basic right to own surely considering its devastating effects if used impulsively why should it attract less regulation than the owning and driving of automobiles?
If one considers other countries like Switzerland, that have also enjoyed a long affiliation with guns and gun culture, then it would seem that part of their success in not having the same per capita deaths by firearms as does the US must surely rest with their more thorough approach to the handling of weapons, and their insistence that every citizen be competent in its use.
It would seem that if your society is going to embrace the right to bear arms, it should also embrace the right for everyone in that society to be educated and show competence in the use of those firearms.
Just like we expect every citizen to be able to get a licence and be able to drive a car in a law abiding manner.

Originally posted by pritybettaokay probably not the best example, I was just trying to show that women are viewd in a positive light.
Where in the book of Ruth does it say she lead a congragation?
A better example would be Judges capters 4-5 deborah led the people of israel, and she was a prophitess; The apostle paul also had help from women. Pricilla (wife of Aquilla) for example.

Are you happy being the subservient woman? Being a woman, I suppose
you're excused. But do you have any right telling other women what they
can and cannot do?
Originally posted by duecerI do think women can do God's work. I was only trying to point out that the Lord has set order for the churches/congregations and the home. If women want to teach the word of God to others they can if it is not in the setting of a congregation or having authority over her husband. Anything outside that can be debatable and I for one do not see anything wrong with it.
