This past Friday, the 21st, a nationwide moment of silence was held for the 26 victims of the Newtown, Connecticut school shootings. I don’t have children and I’ve never been a victim of a violent crime. Thus, I can only imagine the extraordinary pain the victims’ families must be enduring right now, especially the parents of the 20 kids murdered in that rampage. Who could believe in a god after a massacre like this?
