It's interesting that when some creeps try to use some excuse about how society kept them down, and their lack of opportunity forced them into shooting up a liquor store or invading some old lady's home, we don't buy it. We say "personal responsibilty". E.G. don't blame the institutions.
We also (rightfully) say it's not the guns that are to blame, it's the individuals that use them.
But the moment someone who is considered 'religious' does a crime, or they do it at, before, or after church, or a bible is part of the picture, you hear some of the same people blaming the church, or blaming religion,
or in some cases going off on the Bible itself.
You don't often hear the perps being villified because they are a Student, or because they are a Worker. But if they can be labeled as "relgious zealot" (often based on nothing more than the commentators own presumptions and bias)), then that 'explains' it all for these folks.
Lets not be hypocritical.
If you want to blame institutions and objects ('religion', 'churches' and the Bible) in one situation, don't whine when other institutions and objects ('society', 'the man', 'guns', 'that crack I had to smoke because of the pain of being repressed') are offered as excuses.
