…First it was Columbine, then Virginia Tech. What’s next?With unthinkable atrocities occurring these days with increasing frequency and
intensity, we must ask ourselves, what’s changed in our culture that allows such
needless and senseless tragedies to occur?To put it simply: People imitate pop culture and pop culture lacks morals and now pop culture has come home to roost.

This is not to say that everyone who sees a violent film will act out violently but
it is undeniable that the stars we emulate and the films we watch can have strong influence on us.

One solution to this problem is for moral Americans to take back the movie industry for the good of our nation and our youth, the future leaders of our nation.

So, what does it take for Hollywood to “repent” and start producing decent movies once again? Money. They need to see clean-cut films turn a profit. And that cannot happen unless decent people turn out to see decent films when they are released.

This was an e-mail that I got from a Mr. Tim Bueler. His solution to the Virginia Tech shooting is to start producing Christian movies, because you know - the movie Passion of the Christ had all of what? 20 minutes without violence? Oh, but he was dying for our sins. Right. Sorry.

My guess is that the VT shooter actually didn’t watch a whole lot of movies - but the sounds of things, he did a whole lot of nothing but school work before the massacre.

The definition of what a “man” is isn’t really ever discussed - but I really don’t think that the usual culprits of stereotyping, body image and personality were a factor here. Generally speaking men seek power through the use of a gun and taking the life of other people. In this case, I don’t think the violet behavior was spawned from “immoral” television or being tormented through all of high school for being a loser. It sounds more like it was his childhood that fucked him up.

I guess that’s why I’ve always been such a supporter of planned parenthood - in the sense that people are ready for the child, have been taught how to raise the child and feel emotionally stable enough to bring another person into the world.

Anyway - more christian movies aren’t going to stop school shootings. Christians kill too. And christian morals teach people to hate others who are not like them.

Edit: And actually, if you watch his video of his manifesto - there is already quite a bit of religion at the forefront of his mind.
