More Thoughts & Better Prayers
Another mass shooting and the shame of political and personal cowardice
Are they offering thoughts and prayers to people who were literally in prayer today?
There is no greater avoidance of personal responsibility than people who credit or blame their Supreme Being for events. Take all the bad things that happen to decent and innocent people, if there was some grand entity watching over everything, might that Being intervene? Because I am sure that there is not a God helping one player or team win a Super Bowl, despite what they say postgame, for instance. Did God both gives us COVID and grant wisdom to find a vaccine?
How about this. maybe God is in you and prayer should be a conversation with your highest form of self? And shouldn’t that highest from of you be saying - why do we make it so easy for people to get guns to commit horrific acts? Shouldn’t your higher self always be thinking about how we make life better for people - feed the hungry, perhaps? Or, if you believe in Jesus, would Jesus saym and let us deny people acess to health care and nutrition. The meek shall not inherit the earth, the selfish wealthy will.
We do not call out enough people on their hypocrisy. Oh, what will people think if I say something, they’ll think I’m THAT person that always says something.
Good. Be that person.
