    I don't even believe the conservatives when they say they are offering thoughts & prayers. What exactly are you thinking & praying about? It'd be like thinking and praying for a drowning man. He doesn't need thoughts & prayers, he needs help out of the water. DO SOMETHING!https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1060561439520419841 …

    All over the country today prominent conservatives and their followers tweeted with a weird glee that a "Middle Eastern" man shot & killed 12 people in a mass shooting in California. Instead it was, as it almost always is, a white man. His name is Ian David Long. pic.twitter.com/SVWhUxwsam

        Add his face to the line up. I know giving the shooters notoriety is frowned upon. But if he had had brown or black skin, he’d be on every channel. Methinks this Media edict is only to shield the fact that it’s WHITE MEN who are the ones consistently pulling the trigger!!!pic.twitter.com/HNzsTgb803

        If a brother or sister is without clothing & in need of daily food, & one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? Even so faith, if it has no works, is [p]dead, being by itself.

        If you feed and clothe the whole world, but do not give them the free gift of Jesus then what have you done? Their soul is lost, but were well fed! I say feed both the soul and the body.

        Imagine you’re hungry and go to a restaurant. You place an order with a waiter, and instead of processing the order, the waiter just says they’re thinking about you and praying you get food soon. That’s what “thoughts & prayers” from lawmakers sounds like.

        Thoughts and prayers are the "checks in the mail" of public piety.

        so true. I heard once at a church service that you can give thoughts and prayers all you want, but God isn't a magic maker. he guides people, but ultimately an inactive faith (as in physically following through with things) is not enough. it's a team effort. *ps I'm agnostic*

        They're really saying 'I've got mine'. They'll only do something when they lose theirs.

        Unfortunately, our capitalistic culture leaves people behind. The struggling class, vets with PTSD, the homeless and a slew of others where our corporations haven’t figured out a way yet to profit off of them, except throwing them in prison. Our values are horrendous right now.

        There were people there who survived the Vegas shooting last year, including some friends of mine. These people have experienced two mass shootings before the age of 25. Let that sink in.
