I don't know why the Huffington Post exists other than to give us insight into the minds of the people who are contributing to the cultural and spiritual decline of America, and a recent post, "People Fed Up With ‘Thoughts And Prayers’ Demand Action After Texas Church Massacre", is a perfect illustration of what I am talking about.
In this post, people are upset that,
Here are a few choice quotes,
Actually, the real reason people are fed up with the words "thoughts and prayers" coming from the mouths of politicians is that the politicians are named Donald Trump and Paul Ryan. If a President Hillary were to offer up those same words, I doubt that you would hear a peep out of these poor misled souls.
Before I go, one more thought, maybe, just maybe God did answer those prayers by sending an armed neighbor to intercept the gunman.
Just a thought, and a prayer.
In this post, people are upset that,
"President Donald Trump, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and many other political leaders sent their “thoughts and prayers” to Sutherland Springs, Texas, on Sunday after a gunman killed 26 people and injured 20 more at the First Baptist Church."Clearly, those responding with outrage at the political response perceive gun control as being more effective than prayer.
Here are a few choice quotes,
"They were in church. They had the prayers shot right out of them. Maybe try something else."
“Thoughts and prayers” again, @realDonaldTrump, idiot?These people were in CHURCH. They WERE praying. -Keith Olbermann
"To all those asking for thoughts and prayers for the victims in #churchshooting , it seems that your direct line to God is not working."
"Clearly your prayers aren't working if a mass shooting can take place in a church. Maybe we can try a legislative solution now?"
"They were in a *church*. Prayers are not helpful; action is. "Let me speculate and guess that these people believe that government is more effective than God when you want something done to right a wrong. I do not know if they are atheists or agnostics or progressive, revisionist, social activist Christians, but clearly, they have placed God on the back burner and are neglecting the great commandment, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."

The shooter was a nut-job. Government agencies knew this and failed to make it public, and the shooter was able to get guns. But to fully understand this shooting, we have to go back to the early years of the shooter's life. Did he have responsible parents and other responsible influences? The so-called progressive agenda has done great damage to the family unit. This is were the fault lies. Calling for gun control is an attempt to hide the complicity of the Progressives.
ReplyDeleteAnd was he a product of the public school system? Whatever the case, to call for an end to prayer is to ask for the wrath of God to fall upon us.
ReplyDeleteThose criticizing prayer don't remember, or they forget, or they know he was not truthful, just politicizing, but Obama offered thoughts and prayers on many occasions.
ReplyDeleteYes,jim beckner. It depends on whose prayers we're talking about.
ReplyDeleteThere are laws in place which should have prevented this shooter from getting the rifle he used. Administrative errors permitted what was prohibited. People calling for more laws are displaying their bias and ignorance.
