This is why you fundies will eventually fade away from prominence. You don't care about loss of life, of the effects on the families and friends of these students who have had promising futures cut short. No, all you care about is that you didn't get to share your particular myth with them, and you wholeheartedly believe that this lack now condemns these people to eternity in hell.
Wait, many people have been killed, their families experiencing a terrible loss and the most they give a shit about is that they didn't convert them to their craziness?
Even more disturbing is Mrs. Debbie's post further down the thread where she makes no mention of this tragedy and just bitches about gun control.
I was wondering how long it would take before something like this came up. Only hours later on the same day; is that a record?believe has large numbers of serious Christians, but that most people in this country are, at least, nominally Christian.
I am relieved to see that this young lady is expressing sorrow for the deaths instead of claming it on a lack of God in schools or another slippery slope of that nature. However, on a fundamentalist site like this, I am expecting some people to say things like that sooner or later.
Here's the worst part. Bro. Randy thinks we should give guns to 16-17 year olds (after training them in their use) once they get their driver's/gun license. He thinks the way to solve this problem is throw more guns at it. *facepalm* Not surprising, coming from him, but still... I'm getting even more scared for those kids.
Morpheus, I doubt there's any clear cut answer when it comes to gun control, even on issues such as this. On the one hand, stronger gun control can't stop every lone nut from getting hold of weaponry and going on a rampage like this, especially if they don't snap until they already own the weapons.
You're a stupid fucking twit. Show some compassion rather than blathering about your cult.
When I heard about the shooting, my first thought was:
If you look at it from their perspective, her 'lack of empathy' is anything but. She probably firmly believes that these people are now being hideously tortured. If you heard about 33 people getting shot and then face eternal torture, wouldn't you worry about said torture more than the shooting?
I don't think that there is anything obscenely wrong with what she said... it's the evangelical point of view. While I find many quotes on here hilarious and ignorant, some of you obviously have problems with Christianity in general, not just fundamentalism. While she does not seem to be aware that many if not most of the students and faculty in that academic building were Christians (heck, those Fundies probably think that most Christians in the U.S. go to schools like Liberty), and she is partially illiterate, she is not all that lost. Actually, if you put the quote in context on the thread on that board, it makes a lot more sense. See the previous post on T4C for a better idea.
Certainly not the worst thing said by someone from the evangelical/fundamentalist crowd about what happened. But still, something eats at you that there are really people out there who hear of the violent death of 33 people and the first thing they think of is converting others.
Highly amusing to watch crawdads get uppity about some blather.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
