Good point. Apparently praying which is/was a comfort to those who are facing tragedies is now being classed as an insincere gesture by atheists. instant gratification culture.

Atheists are not aiming every citizen who's praying out there. They are criticising the people in the office who are pretending to care about the shooting by tweeting their thoughts and prayers.
-
Thoughts and prayers are a message of condolence. No one is substituting prayer with for policy discussion. No reason to be frustrated with prayer.

Prayer and protecting gun manufacturers is a lousy response to the murder of our children.

It’s also tone deaf and incredibly presumptuous. Pray all you like. It’s no substitute for intelligent, responsive government.
-
So it’s a variation of the immovable object vs the irresistible force. Prayer vs “intelligent, responsive government”
-
No. It’s lip service and cowardice against common sense. I’m not a believer, but I think it’s pretty shoddy to blame God for cowardice and idiocy.

Unfortunately, "thoughts and prayers" has become a standard throwaway line for those who'd rather express sympathy than actually do something. Kind of like the "now is not the time..." responsepic.twitter.com/WPL0Wpc28e

I disagree. Read my column if you want to know why.

You disagree? Quite a comeback!

A comeback? I'm asking you to read the column you're responding to, rather than just tweeting a meme underneath it.

Prayer is a lousy response to tragedy

Only if you're bitter.

This just in: Continued slaughter of innocent schoolchildren can make one bitter. So glad you're immune.
-
Try focusing that bitterness on addressing the problem, not on those praying for the victims.
-
Address the problem says the man who has made 2 PERSONAL insults of bitterness. Thank you for your service
-
You're beyond help. Bye.

Another PERSONAL attack
