Before I get started, I'd like to point out that this is not targeting most religious people... many religious people would never make this assertion.... those that do, well, that takes a special kind of... well, ok, I've made my disclaimer, go ahead and read
message reads:
Dear God, Why do you allow so much violence in our schools? - A concerned student;
Dear Concerned Student, I'm not allowed in schools. - God
Let's explore this a bit shall we? First, this is a direct response to the mass shootings we've seen at schools... so let's look at other places where mass shootings have been happening.
theaters - well... yeah, heathens go to theaters, they're the devil's playground. Full of violence and sex and filth. Makes sense that God would allow violence there.
malls - heathens go to malls to shop. Look at all those evil places like Victoria's Secret and Apple and TJ Max and...
college campuses - well, duh
military bases - well, since we allowed gays in, right? (oh, sorry, I seem to have moved to calling the person relaying the message homophobic somehow... I would say I'm sorry but I suspect you're realizing that I'm not particularly happy with anybody expressing this opinion)

Timeline of DACA - Trump relationship
I'm just going to leave this progression of Trump's relationship with DACA and the Dreamers here:
throughout 2016 Campaign [1]: DACA was an illegal overreach by President Obama
5-Sep-2017 [2]: I like Dreamers so I'm going to try to get Congress to pass something that I consider legal and give them until March, 5 2018 to do it... once we hit March 5, I'm going to undue DACA because it is illegal (and therefore, even if it hurts those I really like, trust me, believe me, I like them, a lot, I'll get rid of it).
09-Jan-2018: I like Dreamers so much that I'll sign any bill that deals with them that Congress passes
21-Jan-2018 [3]: Democrats are wrong to shut down the government over Dreamers
14-Feb-2018 [4]: Nope, I don't like the bill that the Senate has come up with so I'm threatening a veto
16-Feb-2018 [5]: Democrats are to blame if DACA goes away without something in place to replace it.
