Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – christian lies about mass shootings

A rather unpleasant Christian, Caroline has come out with the claim that surely christians would never ever do a mass shooting. Caroline is unfortunately a real life “Mrs. Betty Bowers, America’s Best Christian” with out Deven’s wit and intelligence. Caroline has been on this blog before, consistently showing how dishonest she is with everything from the sciences to her ignorance about anyone not like her.

quite a set of lies.

We needn’t fear those who fear God
And the third factor that should be fostered if we want to end these terrible tragedies is genuine faith in God. I know my children will never be on that list because they know the God who is Love and who said to love our neighbor as ourself. They know that he loves them and that they could never do something so contrary to his character and his will.”

Funny how this god said to murder people who don’t agree with it and that people deserve death and worse if they dont’ agree with it.

“Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” Mark 16

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6

26 “I tell you, to all those who have, more will be given; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 27 But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and slaughter them in my presence.”’” Luke 19

We also have christians blowing up abortion clinics, murdering staff and doctors, and attacking members of religions not their own. I do have to wonder, does Caroline think she can lie about such things when they are public knowledge. Oh I’m sure she will claim they aren’t TrueChristian(tm), at all, the typical maneuver of someone unable to take responsiblity for what her religion causes.

and then Caroline goes onto say exactly what she claims she’s not. it’s a typical tactic from a liar who wants to be able to disavow her lies:

“Children who are raised by both natural parents who genuinely and demonstrably love them are much less likely to get up one day and decide to murder innocent people. But young men in particular who grow up without the irreplaceable influence of a father who loves them carry a void that they must find a way to fill. Many young people have never known an intact family, and others have had one irreparably broken by divorce, which can harm them just as much.”

yep, “natural” parents, showing Caroline’s bigotry and lies yet again.

“Of course I’m not saying that kids who are put in daycare will grow up to be criminals. What I am saying is that children whose mothers sacrifice a career and all the perks that go with it, who are willing to take on the responsibility of diapers, discipline, and domestic drudgery so that their little ones know the security of a mother’s near-constant presence, will probably not be on a list of mass shooters.”

Oh the poor martyr Caroline. No evidence for Caroline’s claims at all. And damn, “near constant presence”?

“Again, I’m not saying that individuals from single-parent homes who don’t believe in God are destined to be involved in criminal activity. Only that a strong foundation of family and faith is an excellent predictor of someone who will never cause such grief, heartache, and anger as every mass shooter has.

So we can talk about gun control. But it will be immensely more productive to focus instead on how we can foster stronger families and encourage rather than ridicule and restrict real, life-changing faith.”

yep, again she is exactly saying what she claims she is not. Caroline is just one more Christian nationalist, more concerned with guns than caring for people. Funny how she’s out there attacking this supposed ever so important faith, if its not her own. She typically is quite sure any christianity other than her own isn’t true.

Happily, these cults are dying out, slowly, but surely. The ignorance, fear and hate they are built on are not needed by anyone.

  1. And you never even got to the “no TRUE Christian” part. She is clueless about much, most notably those who find themselves victims of evil (from mankind or nature).

  2. Good god (no pun, I’m just old). There isn’t a single thing this lady said that is provable. Mass shooters are generally of a type, and many of them have espoused Christianity. Usually white, male, young, and ANGRY.

    As for people who will be victims of a mass shooter? Another complete fabrication. Sure, the mass shooter might go to his workplace and shoot people. But he can also shoot people who themselves have nothing to do with any (imagined or real) grievance. It’s funny (as in, desperate) how Christians are happy to rely on propaganda and dishonesty to push their beliefs.

    1. Angry, YES! And why? Because the people they listen to constantly and continually feed their anger via all the rhetoric about the “godless” liberals, etc. Between Christians and Trump, it’s no wonder this country is in a mess.

  3. Christians and fundamentalists have the blood of our murdered children on THEIR hands – up to their elbows. Sorry, but they don’t get to separate themselves from the actions of those they put in office. They need to live with the consequences of their votes; you want unlimited assault rifles on the streets as per the GOP, fine, now live with it. I’m sure Jesus would be proud.
