MISSING THE POINT?

On the surface (I didn't do any research) the suspension of a 13 year-old student for a doodle that only nominally resembles a gun is indeed an over-reaction on the part of a school. However, it seems to me that this is about fear of a school shooting rather than some agenda to "de-genderize" boys. But even if it is about moving boys away from violence, someone needs to explain why that would be a bad thing. Oh, I forgot, God designed boys to be interested in guns and cars (at least Pastor Tom thinks so, just follow the link to his blog post). He's the one who believes that the Bible is free from error and contains all the answers, so I'll leave it to him to quote chapter and verse to support that absurdity. Yes, there are differences between boys and girls and boys will tend toward violence more so than girls, but is this a "God-given right" that must be defended? Tom didn't quite go so far to say that, but that seems to be the gist of his post. It is disturbing and dangerous to involve God in the fight to defend guns. May God forgive us all for too easily sinking to this way of thinking.

Blog you later,
