that I have shared on twitter and may have to share on facebook yet. It's turned up twice in my social network timelines.
So in case you were ever wondering: this is how you piss Simone right off and initiate pretty much instantaneous defriending.
Post this. Especially now (or around any such tragic events).

I have full respect for the rights of anyone to their beliefs in whatever faith, religion or spiritual tenet they would like
to follow. But DO NOT try and inflict me with your opinion that this whole tragedy would not have happened had "God" been taught in schools. That offends me to the core. And it is not something that someone who genuinely follows any kind of Christian set of values would post so soon and so close to the tragic and raw fall out of just such an event. Just saying. I'm pretty open minded and have noticed that I've reached an age where I'm less about dismissing out of hand opinions I don't agree with and more about trying to understand things from alternate points of views. So there's not much that elicits such reactions from me, but this is one. Just for your information :)
And furthermore....
Sometimes I envy those who have faith in God. I think such a faith must be very reassuring and comforting especially in times of bleakness. But what I don't understand is how God can be absent from anywhere you are if you believe in Him/Her. You can pray to Him/Her whenever you choose, you can think on God and contemplate God whenever you like. I guarantee you God was in Sandy Hook Elementary in the hearts of many people, young and and old, that day. And now I see in my social network timelines more and more people turning to the banning of prayer, banning of religion, the lack of overt Christian rituals and traditions as an explanation for what happened. We have failed this young man by not leading him to God's love and so he has darkness in his heart, this darkness caused him to commit such atrocities. I'm pretty floored by such sentiments I must admit. But mostly I just feel a profound depth of weary sadness. Sometimes the inner workings of such human minds feel so utterly alien to me that I wonder if I am just wearing some sort of meat suit and that underneath I'm actually some sort of being from an entirely different universe far far away. Fortunately I have found other beings who share my mind so at least I know I am no E.T.
