We are being asked to say prayers for people shot while praying in church and I just can't help but see the tragic irony in that.

The truly tragic thing is that I can honestly ask: Which church shooting are you praying about? This week, a few months ago... last year...

Remember when Mike Pence led the nation in prayer to ask god to stop the spread of Covid?? More proof that there is no god.

Do you think that this attitude and similar attitudes towards religion is what led to this horrible tragedy happening in the first place?

Yes, because guns are one of the most efficient ways for the average American to kill large numbers of people quickly. Does God approve of a tool that’s only purpose is to kill? Did God invent guns or did man?

hawkestalon.bsky.social @hawkestalon.bsky.social

Guns are tools for killing. They are extremely efficient but they do not cause killing. People have been killing people for a long time. So to completely ignore the shooter and just blame guns is idiotic and unhelpful. Do you think war only happens because of guns?

What an excellent point. It is truly the people who are the problem. You’ve convinced me. The people should not be allowed to have guns.

Guns are not the problem. The problem is that the people who want to kill having guns. And that's not even the whole problem, if they didn't have guns they would still find a way to kill. You can't solve this problem by just making guns illegal. Saying that you would is just unintelligent.

postwatermelon🍉 @notgracenorrick.bsky.social

For your own selfish reason. To make yourself feel better. It’s not proactive in stopping the tragedy. It does nothing but soothe whatever you may be feeling at the time. “If there is a god, he will have to beg for my forgiveness” -carved inside Auschwitz. Why didn’t he just pray?????!

When racist trump and the white nationalist christian MAGA cult talk about giving "Thoughts and Prayers," they mean for everyone to give their "Thoughts and Prayers" to the guns and ammo, not to the victims.
