"... we’re willing to worship the lives of our children to appease the prophets of the gun industry"
One MSNBC guest claimed on Saturday that calls for prayer after the tragic school shooting that unfolded just days earlier were “a form of idolatry” and “theological malpractice,” arguing that unless people were also willing to go after gun manufacturers, their prayers meant nothing.
Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones, a Democrat, joined MSNBC host Ali Velshi to discuss the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, MN — and he blamed Republican lawmakers and guns for the tragic shooting.
WATCH:
After a brief discussion about the potential role played by violent video games, Velshi pivoted to blame the guns. “There are people who play video games all over the world, and nobody has the problem the way we have it in the United States. So it might actually be about the guns.”
“I mean, that’s exactly it. And, you know, I want to take it a step further and say that — I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people who want to give thoughts and prayers after a shooting, but I was a minister and that is a form of theological malpractice,” Jones cut straight to the point. “When you pray for something that you have the power to change — there’s an African proverb that says, when you pray, you move your hands and feet. You know, what we’re seeing is a form of idolatry, where we’re willing to worship the lives of our children to appease the prophets of the gun industry.”
Jones went on to attack Republicans over a Tennessee law, saying, “After the mass shooting at the Covenant School, the only law Republicans passed that year...

I think he meant "sacrifice," the way they sacrifice children to appease the profits of the "gender-affirming care" industry.
Where do they find these turkeys, and how much are they paid to say such outrageous things?
The Trans shooter wrote: “Where is your God now?”
The media says (basically): “Where is your God now?”
All on the same page. All against Christianity. All for child sacrifice and barbarism.
But no effort to provide for stopping the ‘GAC” they seem to worship. I see. In short, 🖕!
The only prayers the leftist cult authorizes, are for the demise and end of the Trump Administration and the torture and ruin of his voters. The media endorses that with full effort.
We think about children, this fool thinks about control of others.
Always on the 20 side of an 80/20 issue.
Go rats. Don’t change!
Justin Jones is a God-hating pig. Where do the voters find this sewage? Blaming crimes committed by mentally deficient trannies on gun manufactures is retarded. We don’t blame murders committed by drunken illegal alien drivers on car manufacturers.
MSNOW trying to spend eternity in Hell.
Guns and arms in the hands of those ruled by lefty despots have killed about a million times more children and other innocent people than lefty transgender loons ever have. Some may disagree here, but “transgender” idiots have a mental illness and should not be allowed to be near any type of weapon more dangerous than a plastic spoon. Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.
I’ll be suing for “theological malpractice” after I don’t get into heaven.
He’s a real piece of work. I think he’s been expelled or banned from the Capitol twice for his insane and sometimes violent antics.
He pulled an outrageous stunt in the Capitol over demanding gun control after the Covenant school massacre in Nashville (perp was trans in that one, too). That’s probably why PMSNBC invited him.
I hate wiki, but this gives an overview of his radical lefty nuttiness:

How many times did Jesus urge us to pray in the Gospels?

Thanks
No man should come between you and God. How dare this chump butt in where he is neither wanted nor needed.
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight! Isaiah 5:20-21
Oops! I must have goofed somehow. Thanks for letting me know and please accept my sincere apology!
