A former child star found himself under attack on Sunday after he managed to impugn the religious beliefs held by millions of Americans in a tweet slamming Speaker of the House Paul Ryan.

He fired off that tweet in response to Speaker Ryan's boilerplate response to the attack which left 26 dead, in which he stated: 'Reports out of Texas are devastating. The people of Sutherland Springs need our prayers right now.'

Netflix kicked “House of Cards” to the curb. They may have to do the same with “The Ranch.” Keep it up Will and you might single handedly get CBS’ #1 show, “The Big Bang Theory” cancelled. If there’s enough backlash over these sicko hollyweiros, we might get the industry cleaned up.

Often, the “helping hand of the Lord” is (or should be) found at the end of your own arm.

As for the db comment -
The prayers are for the living.

Will may as well have tweeted “God doesn’t hear the prayers of African Americans” because that’s what he essentially said.

This individual is confused, as are so many, about God.

First, understand what it means that God is sovereign.

Wow...Les Moonves probably has just shakes his head at some of this stuff.

Piven in hot seat

Wheaton is only a side player on BBT. He could easily not be given any more gigs

NFL mess effecting his ratings and stock price.

I’m sure if prayers did help he wouldn’t have been kicked off star trek.

I’m guessing when his time comes he is counting on someone at Star Fleet to have perfected that whole Genesis Planet thing.

He has the distinction of portraying a character whose departure from the series was cheered.

Wheaton lives with generalized anxiety disorder and chronic depression. He supports mental health nonprofit organizations in raising awareness for these conditions, according to Wikipedia.
