Leftists hate religious Americans and bash them. We had a shooting at a church not too long ago and now all of a sudden they care about the wounded and the families of the victims? Real hypocrites right there.

I don't believe in a personal God, but I would never mock someone else's faith. Prayers may bring comfort, but they are not going to prevent mass shootings from happening as long as these gunmen slip under the radar. And why oh why does anyone need armor piercing bullets and an assault rifle?

I think it is so telling that Trump is ready to ship every Muslim out of the country when they commit murder, but when a white guy does it, it's "mental illness" and not ever the proper time to have a conversation about gun control. It's ridiculous that the NRA and the gun makers own this country. I don't think things are going to change anytime soon, sadly. My heart is broken for the victims and families of the victims.

So might makes right eh?

God tells Moses to put babies to the sword and that's just fine cause "he can do what he wants". No thanks, you can keep it.

This leftist doesn't hate anybody. And we actually do care about the wounded and the families. What does that
have to do with religious Americans?

Herod was her stepfather, the lecherous SOB.

Texas church shooter was a militant atheist | New York Post


Texas church shooter was a militant*atheist.

What is so sad is people who are posting on how stupid believing in God and prayer is right now don't realize how close they are to the thoughts of this murderer, but oh well. Blaming the victim has become the thing to do in our country so I don't think that will change very soon.

They only care about dancing in the blood of the victims to push their political agenda, they're very consistent about it. Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is an enemy action.

If I'm not mistaken, I think most people are blaming the killer. I personally wouldn't criticize people for believing in God or praying, but I do think actions should be taken to try and address the problem that we have in this country. It's not enough to pray IMO.

Enough of these fruitless arguments. This comes down to one question, and I want you Christian folks to answer!

WHEN ARE THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GONNA START WORKING?

I don’t wanna hear any theological gobbledygook. Save it. Just answer the question.
