Paul Ryan Defends His Call For Prayers After Texas Mass Shooting: Prayer Works

[Grammy23]

73. So which is it?

God has a plan already worked out so therefore he INTENDED for those innocents to be murdered where they sat, in church, worshipping their diety, who at that very moment was planning and allowing for their murderer to shoot them dead.

Or

Pray with all of your might to keep us safe from harm and pestilence and get murdered in the pew anyway.

No matter which you choose to believe, it still amounts to worshipping a diety who allows for a monstrous crime to take your life, even as you are actively worshipping said diety. Oh, yea. 🎼 🎵 Give me some of that Old time religion. 🎶 It’s good enough for me. 🎶

And before I get snarky remarks about my cynicism, just spare me. I spent the first 20 years of my life being steeped in the old time religion. Then spent a while being somewhat neutral about it. Then spent 20 more actively questioning it and trying to sort it all out. I came up with NOTHING To convince me that what I was taught was anything more than man’s attempt to explain the unexplainable and give some kind of explanation for life's BIG QUESTIONS. No logic to any of it. So while I appreciate the good religion does for some people, it boggles my mind how much of it just generates more questions in my mind. And confuses me more than it makes things clearer.
