Thoughts and Prayers?

[LuckyCharms]

For what?

They're already dead.

What are they praying for? That they don't get deader?

Are they praying for the surviving families to find peace? They won't.

My response to anyone who casually says "thoughts and prayers" is...

"Just remember that God sat out the Holocaust" (I heard that somewhere and stole it).

4. I'm semi-religious...

But I see the hypocrisy in statements like "thought and prayers". It's the lazy person's way out.

If someone believes in God, and that God made man to have free will, then instead of saying thoughts and prayers, religious people should be slapping gun nuts in the head with a 2 x 4, imploring them to get their heads out of their asses and to fix the gun problem, instead of relying on a piece of paper written over 200 years ago when the world did not have these problems.

certain that the streets in Center City are rumbling right now as the Founding Fathers are rolling around in their graves.

6. Can you imagine if they could actually see this?
