LOOKOUT! Here comes god!

Like God's helped so much in the past.

Whenever people are asked to speak on TV about a gun tragedy, god seems to turn up.

Funny, how in spite of all the prayers, gun tragedies continue. God must like tragedies. Or they would stop.

Or, perhaps, it's really up to people to stop gun tragedies. Since we cause them.

I'm sure prayer helps people feel better about themselves, but in the case of gun violence and racism, I think everyone taking action would be much more useful.

...someone's brain when they trot that nonsense out.

I'm also sick and f'ing tired of "my thought and prayers" and "out thoughts and prayers". Such useless bullpuck.
