Real Christians demonstrated their beliefs today.

The families of the victims of the Mother Emmanuel A.M.E. Church tragedy all gave their forgiveness to the hateful product of a racist sub-society who took their loved ones.

It simply can't be an accident that they chose, each one of them, to take advantage of South Carolina law and speak directly to the perp. They acted in the very highest tradition of peace loving people. The very highest tradition of the teachings of Dr. King.

I was genuinely moved when I heard the recordings of their words to the shooter. The people who made those statements are to be admired, honored, emulated. I wish I was as great a person.

Many, many black parents and family members have shown their courage and dignity in the face of deaths that have not always been justified....

I challenge the idiots at FAUX and all their minions to acknowledge the decency and humanity of these people....

now are preaching hate so this murderer goes into a church that is preaching love and forgiveness to kill. If we cannot make a stand against this hatred this country is done.

What a stark contrast between real Christians and those who profess to be "Christians".

Amazing.
