I'm a Christian too, so who the hell are you to take that tone with me? People aren't criticising prayer, they're criticising the right wing liberal notion that prayer alone, coupled with actively blocking any attempt to fix things, will do any good. It's like praying to god to catch you as you jump off a building. Like the aftermath of Sandy Hook? Or is it too soon to mention that?
Take your head out of your ass for one fecking minute and learn to infer context.
It’s a mass murder in a church. You need to infer that context! Not a time to be negatively referring to prayer; an action those slain were engaging with when murdered. It’s deeply insensitive and inappropriately timed.
I’m fecking sick of atheistic sentiments shoehorned into so many threads here. Recent example - Nouri, the Ajax player almost died and Fosu Mensah sent a tweet about him being in his prayers. 5 or 6 posters used this as an opportunity to criticise prayer.
Atheists, believe or don’t believe whatever you want. Just show a little bit of respect for those who do.
As for gun control, I’m a conservative (small c) but it’s a ‘leftist’ argument I agree with. There should be tighter controls. No excuse to attack prayer at such a time though.
