On Shootings in Schools, and Other (Human) Atrocities. And on "God".

It wouldn't help to punish the perpetrators. First they're left dead themselves in most cases, and the people they've killed won't come back either.

It's more a matter of preventing. But how? We've got to appeal to the responsibility in ourselves. Responsibility is produced in our brains. So we'd have to change the brains themselves (we commonly do so, in an accepted way, by consuming alcohol, which alters the function of the brain for a while, mainly to the better, making us hilarious, and, well, more sociable (love thy brother). There are of course exceptions to the rule).

"God" gave us the capability of sequencing and changing our building blocks, the genomes. Maybe she wants us to complete her work, to form a congregation of happy human beings living in paradise, until the demise of our sun. Just don't tell me she tolerates or even wants us to kill each other to reach this goal.

What do you think?

Please note I've used quotation marks. Why? Please see my former blogs for explanations.
And also note I'm using the "she" form!! I also could have used the "it" form.

Atrocities of the same kind have happened since mankind evolved from his ancestors. But whereas they formerly only had a piece of wood to be used as a club to be smashed on the opponents head, today, the actuators have become much more sophisticated: guns, cars, planes, you name it.

Sad as it is, but I believe it's normal on a path along which our highly developed, but evolutionary still young brains have to adjust to the possibilities on this planet.
As we have seen during the last decades, since the beginning of the 20th century, wrong use of powerful actuators can be so fatal.

I hope at the end of the path there will be, well, solution, peace, and perfect lives.

As long as we don't fully comprehend the universe, we will move forward only slowly, with a lot of blood along the path, sad enough to say...
