""How many fundies, as bad as they are, shoot up malls?"

I really don't know. But some 'fundies' have crashed hijacked airliners into office towers.

Fundies BTW, come in all religious denominations.


Of course that's true, but that part of my post was about the flat-affect hopelessness of our youth-- cold violence; it was not about hot violence-- wrong action fueled by fervor. It was not offered as a balance-sheet entry on which is more violent, but as an observation that a lack of beliefs seems to be as damaging as an excess of any stripe.

But my post also was about hope, and I kinda think the violence you cite is not about hope.
