He's an employee of god. What words do you think he's going to use against the entity that controls his retirement destination.

All Christians should be that devoted to God. That's the point. All human beings should be, actually. He's your creator. He can do what he wants with his creation.

That's not devotion. That's fear.

You've just been convinced that fear = devotion.

I don't agree with this. Tell me why would God want us to be devoted ? God wants us to enjoy life and there is no greater way of doing this thanbeing devoted to living in love and peace. God does not and cannot act outside his true nature and character, so he really does not do what he wants, if God did there would be chaos and confusion.

Fear is the bedrock of fundie faith.

And if I thought the godling they worship was real, I'd be afraid of it too.

Your brand of authoritarian dictatorship of the proletariat would leave the nations citizens denuded of personal protection and corporate liberty. Gun control laws have been passed, but NOT applied by the very government that is supposed to defend us. I'd like to know why so many liberals refuse to acknowledge that fact.

The Texas shooter should never have been allowed to buy his firearms. He was mentally unstable and morally bankrupt. Government agencies with the responsibility to share their information with each other did not do so. This has been the case over and over and over again. When disaster happens, our citizens are treated to a bureaucratic cover up so as to mask governmental ineptitude and negligence and embarrassment. Our leaders do not like to be shown as the fools they really are, so they evade the issue.

In the end, those that died at the hands of yet another liberal mistake may have gone to live with Jesus AS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THEIR HOPE. They just got an early excusal from the troubles of life. The rest of us are left to deal with their absence and the cause of it.

Some people, like you liberals, want to blame the very people who want to defend themselves (as well as your defense if it came to such a time). The solution for fear of firearm assault is a well armed society. Gun for gun. Knife for knife. Bomb for bomb. Respect is a thing that is earned, not given. A well armed and trained person is a respected person.


The victims of Sutherland Springs now live in heaven where there is nothing to fear. Those of us who are left must live in caution, because this place is NOT heaven and there are human vermin among us. To our liberal citizens I can only say that stupidity is not a virtue, neither will it provide proof against bullets or knives or trucks used against us. Constant vigilance and an appeal to God for saving grace will go a long way toward peace and safety.

Praise God and pass the ammunition.

and that's me, hollering from the choir loft...


So choir, the slaughter of those children and babies was a good thing in the grand divine plan thing, right?

So how do you disarm good people with out attacking them and their right to protect them selves ?
Manufactured events such as this, democrats aim at the instrument, not the wickedness of the person , as though the instrument were the cause . If that were the case the pen should been out lawed, having been the chief instrument of war .
Unethical immoral culture are the cause.
