In addition to being a day named after a saint who most probably did not exist in the first place, from today on "Valentine's Day" will be also known as the day when a shooter entered a school killing 17 and injuring scores more of children.

PARKLAND, Fla. -- What started out as an ordinary day at a south Florida high school has ended in gunfire and death. It happened about 20 miles northwest of Fort Lauderdale at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School which is attended by about 3,000 students. At least 17 people were killed. A 19-year-old suspected gunman has been identified as Nikolas Cruz, a former student.

With so many record-beating shootings recently, there is only one thing that needs right now: prayers. That's right, prayers. We do not need gun control laws, we do not need tighter background checks, we do not need restrict crazy people from obtaining guns, we do not even need to talk about mental health issues and the utter lack of mental health care in this country. After all, sure, people shoot guns, but God carries the bullets!

Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
Isaiah 54:16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

Therefore, we simply need to pray to God to restrain His Anger and stop sending shooters!

The list goes on including several other shootings with lesser numbers of victims.

We are the country with the most mass shootings in the world (about 1/3 of all shootings worldwide), and if you look at the dates, both the frequency and severity of the shootings keep increasing. Hence, there is clearly something that bothers about America (Isaiah 26:21, Ezekiel 25:17, Romans 1:18). (My bet would be on the liberals).

Pray to God and repent for your sins, America!
