In campaign appearances the former divinity student talks about the struggle between good and evil, and invokes Jesus Christ's parable of the sower to explain how media violence subverts children. In New Hampshire, Gore compared the alienation of Cain--the first murderer--with the forces that drove two teenagers to commit the same sin in Colorado.
