Liberals Make Fun Of Prayer Following Texas Shooting
Daily Caller ^ | November 5, 2017 | Ian Miles Cheong

Posted on 11/06/2017 5:12:44 AM PST by Zakeet

Reactions to the church shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas have broadly consisted of sympathy and calls for prayer for the victims and their families, but some prominent left-wing voices have taken the opportunity to politicize the incident. Some on the left have used the shooting to mock the concept of prayer and Christianity.

Following the shooting, a number of prominent media personalities, celebrities and liberal pundits took the effort to mock the concept of prayer and called for gun control.

Wil Wheaton, the washed-up liberal actor best known for "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and self-proclaimed "geek icon," attacked Paul Ryan, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, who was sharing a call for prayers for the people of Sutherland Springs.

"The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of shit," wrote Wheaton.

Leftists hate you, your families, and your way of life. They’d gladly slaughter you if they could get away with it.

>>Will Wheaton would kill all conservatives if he could. You know, with his “rage” being in control.<<

Think about this: It’s quite possible that this Wheaton is himself a deranged, psychotic madman who needs to be watched carefully, because he sounds just like the type who would copycat what that mass killer in Texas just did.

They do candlelight vigils. What’s the difference?

There is a huge difference, and the Leftists know it, which is what drives them batty.

Aw, come on. He was clearly upset at something else. He didnt mean to uncontrollably lash out at your entire faith and religious system, oh wait, yes he did, because thats exactly what he is apologizing for.

What a friggen idiot this Wheaton guy is. Maybe he will drive Big Bang into the dirt like like that pedophile Spacey did to his show.

I believe LUKE 13 says it best. No promise of God pulling a person’s fat out of the fire. If he did, think of all the new Christians who would be saying to friends...”Here! Hold my soda pop and watch this!”
As St Paul said, It is appointed once to die, after this, the judgement. So we must always be ready for that unknown day.

Repent for you will Perish

13 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.

4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”

It seems to me that God control is what is needed - not gun control.

God needs to be put BACK in control, as He was intended to be....one nation, UNDER GOD. The creator never should have kicked out of schools, out of laws, out of public life....I’d say both American and other societies are living through the results of sticking the middle finger up at God.

Yes, but remember the warning by President Reagan: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”

the mockers will mock, and the laughers will laugh...

that is what they do. that is why they are called “mockers and laughers”

Galatians 6:7 is my favorite passage. I use it daily.

” If The Beast was now sitting her fat ass in the Oval Office and could nominate Federal court judges for the next eight years, I have no doubt whatever that our 2nd Amendment rights would be completely obliterated. “

Yes, but only on paper.

Liberals are fond of expressing “shock and dismay” at a mass shooting, but in reality, that the victims were Christians in a church just thrills their dark hearts to ecstasy. Libs cheer on the murder of Christians and conservatives.

Undoubtedly. Wheaton admits his “rage” gets the best of him.

“As I said on another thread, I think we should start claiming that the shooting was a result of anti-Christian hate speech by the left.”

The MSM has been screaming hate, violence, anti-white, anti-Christian, anti-conservative vitriol pretty much non stop since the election. Did they think no one was listening? This guy was. Paddock was. Who else has been listening to the MSM? Blood is on their hands!

Yet they the old saying “the blood of the Christian martyrs is the seeds of new Christians.”

Which is a really good point to remind people of when those God haters ask where God was when something like this happens.
