1. I guess the great almighty God didn't feel lie working yesterday in Columbus, OH or Allen, TX.

"If your god is almighty but doesn’t do shit to stop massacres of children, your god is a worthless dick."

And will the powerful prayers and the gathering of the faithful bring one of the dead back or stop the
suffering of the families, friends, and communities in this endless cycle of mass shootings.

17. He was in London yesterday

Anointing a king.

So much for omnipotence.

2. Right

"Those are people that don't believe in an almighty god."

Yup. No gods, no control by an arbitrary magical being, no power from a mythical being to hurt us. It's all people doing it.

It's all nasty, greedy, hate filled people doing it to other people. Supported by money and votes of other nasty, greedy, hate filled people.

4. It is even worse when you see it written out. And how many of the dead children will the all power

GAWD bring back to life?

A Republican congressman representing Allen, Texas — where a mass shooting killed at least eight people on Saturday — said people who don't believe in the power of prayer following a violent incident aren't believers of an "almighty god" after he was asked what his response would be to people who feel prayers are not the solution to mass shootings.

Authorities responded to a shooting at Allen Premium Outlets — a mall near Dallas, Texas — around 3:40 p.m. Allen Fire Department Chief Jonathan Boyd said in a press conference that seven people were found dead at the scene, while two more died after they were transported to area hospitals. Seven others were also injured, according to the fire chief. WFAA-TV reported that some of the victims could include children.

During an interview with CNN, Rep. Keith Self called for prayer in light of the mass shooting, which included injured victims as young as 5 years old.

When a CNN reporter asked what his response was to people who feel "prayers aren't cutting it," the congressman said, "Well, those are people that don't belie

6. He is a political hack. I am beyond sick

of being lectured about religious beliefs by political hacks masquerading as holy men.
Keep religion out of politics. They could show empathy but that assumes they are human.

10. My fundie sister said she would pray for my wife

Who had pancreatic cancer. My wife’s reply, “Go ahead. Praying will help you feel better, but it won’t do shit for me.”

11. Not God, but the talking head,

who is the worthless dick. He would turn his back on God.

James 2:14-26

What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

12. Just another judgmental asshole

14. If you believe in an all-powerful God, Self is correct. God has approved/allowed this.

If you believe in an all-powerful God, Self is correct.

We do not have free will.

We only have allowed will.

God has the power to 'change men's hearts' and has been given credit for doing so.

15. What a fucking asshole and idiot. He was alive when Reagan emptied the psychiatric hospitals

and repealed federal funding. You know they're desperate if they are throwing the blame on Saint Reagan.
