It is a tourist destination...I know many non-Catholics that have visited the site.
Are you saying it isn't?

I would rather you admit that it was a perfectly appropriate term to describe the people who were in church to worship the Lord on Easter. The faux outrage is tiresome, and stupid.

I have no doubt you all are demanding Walmart correct their grammar since in no universe can the announcement indicate shoppers at Walmart. It can only mean shoppers shopping for a Walmart store to purchase and they should be getting in touch with the Walton family or their attorneys for that request.
Brava!!

That does seem to be what the OP is saying.

Maybe you're right...

Maybe Obama, Hillary, and the half dozen or so other Democrats are just too inarticulate to convey a message unambiguously!

That link just lowered my IQ a few points. Thankfully, I have enough to spare.

Really, OP? Really?

People who are at a location, at Easter, to attend worship services, are "Easter worshippers."

Just like people who are at a mall to shop for Christmas gifts on Black Friday are "Black Friday shoppers or Christmas shoppers."

And people who are at a BBQ joint to eat dinner are "Restaurant diners."

Jesus wept, man. Jesus wept.

It is thoroughly exhausting to see the twists and turns people will take to defend an actual heathen while putting down people who are Christians, describing other people who are Christians.

It's a bigger tourist destination in Paris than the Eiffel Tower, actually. I saw that in multiple news reports after the fire.

Maybe you don't understand the word "ambiguity". Because the phrase isn't ambiguous in the least. Your continuous argument about the phrase is stupid.

the topic of this thread is literally dozens of democratic party leaders called attention to the day, easter, on which the attack occurred and the victims were worshippers. they did not acknowledge the religion, chrisitan, targeted by the muslim terrorists.

some don't see the reason why the distinction between "easter worshippers" and christian is important. I understand why it is important.

done with this thread.
Either did Trump.

Are those injured/killed in the churches more important than those injured/killed in the hotels?

They were married in a church, their daughters were baptized in a church, and they always attended services. One of their ministers was attacked in the 2008 election as being a radical, but he was an ordained minister.

When in office, the Obamas went to church on Sundays and took their daughters. Just as the Bush family did earlier.

What part of that says they are not Christian to you? Churches don't have club cards for proof of evidence a member is a member or a believing Christian.

So what if the Obamas don't use the word christian much? The devout don't have to claim they are devout. They just are by their practice of their religion. Their actions prove themselves, not a vocal claim.

GW Bush was as religious, but he made no bigger deal of his faith than Obama. Why is his faith never disbelieved or questioned? Is it because he has an Anglo-Saxon name?
