Why I can no longer be a Christian (5/24/2022)
So, we have another mass shooting today. Uvalde, Texas will be etched on our collective minds forever. Innocent children gunned down by a deranged gun man (kid). A few years ago, governors Abbott challenged the Texas citizens to buy more guns, so they were not second on the list of states in the country in weapon’s purchases.
The common thread here seems to be that conservatives send thoughts and prayers, protect the right to right to own and carry guns, call for the death penalty for the killer, and then want to arm teachers or encourage folks to buy more guns. After the El Paso killing carrying guns in Texas was made easier and hence, no surprise Uvalde is next.
This is where I am flummoxed. While being pro-gun and pro death penalty, and somehow being ok in condemning fellow citizens and kids to death, these Christians are vehemently against abortions. They, seem to want to bring to the world, but then they don’t give a shit that they get gunned down in schools, at Walmart, at a church or anywhere else. We’ll just send these innocent lives our thoughts and prayers and murder the killers. Sanctity of life, only the unborn, after that they turn them into fodder to be gun downed in schools and ger our thoughts and prayers; so Christian, my ass!
Sorry, I can’t stand it any longer, these Christian hypocrites. How can they be pro-death penalty, anti-gun control, and obey the commandments?
I am done being a Christian.
