Pastors Decry White Supremacy After El Paso Rampage

It's called being a faithful Christian witness.
No it's not. Jesus didn't decry the racism of the Jews. He extolled the law of God. And when there were notable bloody tragedies, He didn't decry the nationalism and idolatry of Pilate or call for better building codes legislation.

He said, "Unless YOU repent, you will likewise perish." And faithful Christian ministers will do the same.

What about the murder in your own heart, BB? (And spare us the sanctimonious, fake shock, of "How DARE you accuse me, blah, blah, blah.) There is murder in the hearts of all.

Christ would remind you of that and have you confess it as a response to these shootings, and He would condemn the self-righteousness and superiority you're feeling right now because you don't think you're a racist and a murderer like some others.

Thank you. I assume it is because I have mastery of the facts and can use reason and persuasion to make the case.
You're making stuff up again, or seeing things that aren't there. I did not comment on Mohler at all, nor did I even quote your accusations in my response. I cannot be "totally wrong" about something I did not address and have no interest in discussing. Al Mohler is not a hero of mine, nor do I follow him or care much about anything he does these days.


That certainly is a fancy conspiracy theory. Keep working on it to make it believable to a rational person.


I did not have any information about the Dayton shooter's motives, likes or dislikes when I responded earlier. I didn't "forget" to address it. Preliminary reports indicate that it might be true. There's also a "Satan" angle to his beliefs, but I don't know if he was an atheist who used Satan as a metaphor to troll Christians, or some sort of self-styled satanist. I have evangelized with about a dozen self-styled satanists, involved in three separate groups, years ago. I know two of them that have come to faith, but I lost touch with all of them years ago.

Self-styled satanists are extremely mentally unstable, sometimes in conjunction with demonization and/or oppression. They have a high capacity for violence, especially toward animals for sacrifice. Not too many move beyond that to the murder of human beings, but some do.


I don't know how you are defining "mass shootings," but the perpetrators of this kind of mass shooting (I'm using a specific term here) in the United States are nearly all white males.


I didn't realize I was supposed to discuss it since you did not even raise the issue. I don't even know why you think it is relevant, unless you think I am African-American and you are vented some sort of condescension my way. I am not an African-American, I am a white guy. My avatar is a publicity photo of Daryl Davis, a man I admire. I use him as my avatar as a constant reminder that people can build bridges with each other, even when they fundamentally disagree.


Yeah, you keep making things up. I have been a third-generation Republican (that means, my paternal grandfather who was born in 1894 was a Republican, then my father, and now me), but I stopped supporting the Republican Party once they nominated Donald Trump as the party candidate. I am not, nor have I even been, a Democrat. I consider myself completely independent at this time and I am waiting for a party to develop that actually supports some of my strongest convictions.

So, in short, you really don't know what you are talking about. This should be a moment of reckoning for you, because you are definitely wrong about everything, except the Dayton shooters alleged affection for Warren and possibly an irrelevant statistic about African-American crime.

Leave it to you to take what I perceive as an insult, then turn it to a kudo for yourself, & wonder of all wonders......somebody buys in. Let me assure you that most who spend any time here, do not buy in. You only show up when you think you can really spin against the right. I remember once when you actually said that you could support dems, you just don’t support the platform. A priceless new height to your ability to spin. It’s called delusional.
