I don't think there is any causal link at all between a teenager's belief or lack of it, and his snapping and shooting people. That was my point, in response to the argument that children who had Christian religious beliefs (or read the Ten Commandments posted in the classroom) were somehow made less potentially violent by that.

My other point was that "Christian" prayer groups should not be taunting other children, if any real Christian values were seeping in.

"go postal" was once very cute. Today its what is called a lame metaphor, unnecessarily insulting to people who have been more often victims than perpetrators (and one of our own). May I suggest -- "go highschool" or even better use simple unembellished English?
