Gun Control

Okay, so the Texas shooting? I lied, I'm seeing my friends make fun of liberals. Listen. Really carefully. Wait until the bodies are at least cold. This makes me angry because of the fact that it looks like you don't actually care. Here is what I see from the same person,

"Grieve with those who grieve."
"Good guy with gun stops bad guy with gun."
Commentor, "Yeah, we need gun control. :p"

Listen. Now is not the time and facebook is not the place. Make your sick jokes inside your house. I don't care if you added a "silly face". This was a tragedy and you're making light of it. People died. Children died.

You are adults, start acting like it.

Texas Church Shooting

First off, I want to say that the man was not part of Antifa. That is fake news that has been going around and we need to stop spreading it. Fake news people are like the neighborhood bully, if you ignore them they will eventually leave you alone. Stop spreading fake news and inform friends if they are doing so. If you need to use Snopes, please do it.

I haven't noticed a lot of gun debate going on so...*applause* I'm proud of both sides. You are at least waiting until the bodies are cold.

I want to extend my condolences to the church. I am so sorry that this horrible crime had to happen in the house of God. I am thankful that God served justice to the man who defiled the sanctuary. I pray that you are able to find a peace that surpasses all understanding.

As a pastor's kid, I pray for you. I grieve for you. I cannot imagine what this feels like. I am sorry for your loss.

Facebook can be toxic

Sometimes Facebook can be toxic. What am I talking about? People's opinions run wild and people stop caring about other's opinions, beliefs, feelings, or convictions. Facebook can cause church members to go at each other's throats online but act as if nothing happened in person. The internet can cause you to be someone online who you are not in real life. 

One thing I have noticed recently is how conservatives are calling liberals evil. Or how they are arguing with other conservative friends and making thinly veiled insults. This is unacceptable. There is no enemy and we should stop seeing each other as such. 

On my facebook feed (I'm unsure about y'all's) I noticed that there has been a huge gun debate going on. I am not happy about this and I'll explain why in a minute. I have also noticed debates such as immigration, why Trump is a jerk, why Trump is not a jerk, why Hillary deserved the presidency, why she didn't, why the FLOTUS is inconsiderate...

When did we suddenly get so involved in politics? Most of the people on my facebook were never involved until Trump became president. It's like they have a new found freedom to be unkind just because they have a president that speaks what they are thinking. Let me say, if he is saying what you are thinking then maybe some of you need to repent. 

Now we will get to the gun debate. I am disappointed with all of you. Right wing, left wing, the entire bird. You don't even wait until the bodies are cold before you start arguing about gun rights. You don't even give families time to grieve, you start while the emotions are running hot. A lot of you didn't even wait until the day was done. I am disappointed and grieved. What does it say about you that you can't wait? What a selfish generation I live in. 

But, you know. I'm just a pastor's kid, what do I know.
