9 killed in suicide attack on Quetta's Bethel Memorial Methodist Church

[Disir]

At least nine people were killed and 30 injured in a suicide attack on the Bethel Memorial Methodist Church on Quetta's Zarghoon Road on Sunday afternoon.

All casualties, which included women and children, were shifted to Civil Hospital Quetta. Speaking on Sunday evening, Hospital Spokesman Waseem Baig said the death toll had risen to nine.

Damn. Pakistan is so damn ineffective.

Dear Disir:
And how many civilians were killed in the recent church shooting in Texas?
What about the 9 soldiers killed at the Fort Hood military base
by a terrorist sympathizer deemed "workplace violence":

Doesn't that mean Texas or the US Military in general are ineffective?

In cases of mentally or criminally ill people violently targeting and attacking others,
the one hope I have found for diagnosing and screening such illness in advance
is Christian spiritual healing.

Governments cannot impose or regulate spiritual healing that is necessary to catch and
cure criminal illness before it becomes deadly.

It is the people who need to choose to study and implement such means
and methods "voluntarily" .

So what you are essentially saying is people or society
are ineffective in our current approaches to crime and violence, including terrorists attacks.
We only respond "after the fact" which is what our govts are limited to.

It is our churches and spiritual knowledge and methods of diagnosing, treating and curing disorders that can detect abuses and dangers in advance;
but those are not in charge of public security which is the job of govt.

If these two authorities do not work together,
yes, it becomes conflicting and ineffective.

Thanks Disir
And yes you can say that if people in Pakistan whose
govt and religion either reject or remain divided from
Christian knowledge and practice of spiritual healing,
that is the same problem or worse than division in
America and elsewhere, where church and state are
working in opposition against each other and the people's best interest.
You could say Pakistan is even "more" ineffective,
because of political religious strife, but all nations
including American face this same conflict causing similar problems.

No, Emily, what I am saying is that Pakistan has been flat out refusing to take care of business. Refusing. When they do step in then it is a little too late. It' part of a pattern and it is Pakistan specific.

Sure Disir it's worse there.
but even in the Ft. Hood incident where our own military failed to screen for criminal
illness and intent, and treated it as workplace violence (see link I added to that post, which I was still editing when you replied to it),
the US isn't perfect either.

Half our citizens are "refusing" and attacking Christianity, not just Islamic countries persecuting and denying Christian faith and practice.

How are we going to compel or enforce standards in other countries,
when we ourselves are divided religiously and politically against each other?

Harder to point fingers or correct problems
if we haven't resolved this same issues at home!

Emily, it is far worse there. Pakistan refuses to move until it's too late. They could pick any one thing from a variety of issues and move on it. They choose not to.
