Keith Self (R-TX) said god killed those people in Allen

[RussBLib]

Well, he said "god is in total control of our lives," which suggests that God did it. God wanted all those people shot. And so they got shot. And God is real. And prayers work. And anyone who says otherwise is not a true believer. Not a REAL Christian! (Some of that is mine)

These are the asses that Texas keeps electing.

Those people don't believe in an almighty God': Texas GOP Rep Keith Self slams gun critics who say that prayers aren't enough - as he claims that God is 'absolutely in control of our lives'

1. Republican Jesus did it.

2. Maybe. Maybe...

but then think of it like this:

Gawd has sent us a plague. A plague kinda like those set upon the Egyptians.

But instead of toads or boils or locusts…it’s gun deaths.

And all YOU gotta do to end the plague is listen to what YOUR gawd told YOU to do…turn your swords into plowshares.

So, stop killing us. Do what YOUR gawd told you to do.

Fuckin’ idiots.

3. "And prayers work" ???

Assuming there is a supreme being or eternal essence that created and controls everything, I can't rationalize why such an entity would be concerned with some thought or prayer from a mere mortal on this small blue marble in the universe that we call earth. Evil and murder have existed since recorded history began in spite of millions upon millions of "prayers".

4. A Better Argument Can Be Made, Sir, That More 'God' Causes Such Events

Not in the 'God's in absolute control so of course he saw to these people dying, trust his plan' swill this moral cretin spews, but by observing that there is far more profession of Christianity, and more church attendance, in the United States than in other prosperous democracies, which somehow manage nonetheless not to cook off in massacre by privately owned firearm on a daily basis.

5. Believers in metaphysical beings should be in therapy, not gov't.

IMO.

6. speaking of therapy

I would suggest that anyone who is a white supremacist has a mental illness. Abbott and the other rotten GOP pols in Texas kept saying "mental illness" in reference to the Allen shooter, and so what came first? The mental illness or the white supremacy?

Randi Rhodes took it a step further today: anyone who votes for the GOP has a mental illness.

With you and Randi.

8. Everything that's alive right now, God is going to kill

Every person, every animal, every plant is going to be dead in about 100 years. Some plants and animals take longer to die than 100 years, but eventually this magical God will kill them all too. Everything and everyone on this planet is dead meat to God.

Now, tell me how God is Pro-Life?

[Martin Eden]

9. God in total control equals no free will equals God the murderer

Apparently we are all just puppets; well, at least morons like Mr. Self.
