It wasn't so bad, because God was just calling them home





Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales represents the city of Uvalde, the scene of America's latest deadly mass shooting.

Gonzales, a Republican, had previously voted against two gun reform bills including one that called for expanded background checks. He has also been vocal about his support for the second amendment.

What a dense, idiotic POS this guy is

4. When Jesus referred to children, he referred to those in the process of adapting to the Christian

lifestyle and being instructed on its spiritual knowledge. The beginners. Paul used the same comparison: infants vs adults in terms of their spiritual development. Early Christians did not proselytize children. Baptism was for adults capable of deciding for themselves how they wanted to live.

So, force birth onto women and then let the 2nd Amendment take the children away to Jesus through gun violence.


I'M NOT PRAYING WITH YOU! You are responsible for these children's deaths. You are THE Pro Death Party!

The murderer spent an hour in that classroom with those babies -whoever wasn't killed outright and those who still survive spent over an hour in terror and pain until he was shot down like the rabid dog he was.

A Just and Merciful God would not allow that to happen to children. A Just and Merciful God would have sent that young man help, and if he rejected it, would have ensured the body armor failed before he exited his crashed truck.

A hungry Demon would revel in children's suffering. And it sounds like you might also, and you certainly don't care about their suffering or the suffering of their families and friends.

So shut your sanctimonious, hypocritical piehole, you worthless ghoul.

13. You know, people can take their "God's will" bullshit and shove it up their asses.

No one was "calling them home".

Telling any parent that "at least they (their butchered children) are in heaven" after such brutality is sick.

Their parents can think that, if that's their belief, but for others to say that as if they are somehow offering some kind of comfort is just plain sick.

It's not a comfort.

Butchered children going to heaven, at least, is not compensation for the lives lost.

Death is not a door prize.

I’m sure those words are real comfort to parents hysterical with grief….
