Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

So while those brave kids were protesting for more stringent gun legislation this is what the NRA was tweeting out.
Guess all of the supporters of the NRA would now embrace a tweet from Planned Parenthood proclaiming, "I'll control my own body, thank you." The hypocrisy of the NRA and primarily the so-called pro-lifers in this country is astounding. They gleefully embrace "killing machines" (weapons that should only be used by military members and law enforcement), but do not respect women to make their own decisions.
I asked my NRA loving sister which one of her kids she was willing to sacrifice so she and other fools could keep their guns. The 2nd amendment zealots and the NRA are essentially asking every American to give one of their children as a sacrifice to their gun god.
#1 I$$ue I$ this>Abortion = labor force period. "I am ashamed of my evangelical quietism. While I will always admire the moral determination of my ex-brothers and sisters, I now mourn their unwillingness to engage the complexities of material and political life, and the destruction thereof at the hands of gunmen in our schools."
White evangelical Christians really only care about one thing — and everything else is a sham
...Evangelicals carry their guns with them more often than other Americans, and most don’t think gun-control measures are constitutional or biblical. When I measure these components against the willingness to stake political support for Trump (or any other politician), I’m reminded that there’s another component to evangelical care for “the unborn,” one I know firsthand. It provides an escape from the messy responsibility of being embodied.
Defending rights to a handheld killing machine and claiming compassion for “the unborn,” all while flittering past the blood of the born and the bodied, brings to words something I intuited but couldn’t say in 2003: the abstract compassion for “the unborn” is easier than the fleshy, bodily, messy love for those annihilated at the hands of an AR-15 (or a drone). Evangelical love for the innocent is ad hoc; it doesn’t apply to everyone. It’s selective outrage masked as holy indignation.
"Democrat Eryn Gilchrist decided to take him on, filing her candidacy just before the 5 p.m. deadline.
Gibson, a candidate in the state's 57th district, provoked outrage after he took to Twitter to attack Emma Gonzalez and David Hogg, who have emerged as prominent voices for stricter gun control in the wake of the Feb. 14 attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that left 17 students and staff dead.
Gibson called Gonzalez, who is openly bisexual, a "skinhead lesbian," and Hogg a "bald-faced liar." Gibson has since deactivated his Twitter account."
"I'll control my own guns, thank you. #2A #NRA"

DeleteNone of them have the balls to say it to the kids. Only behind the NRA twitter. Cowards. That's why they cling to their guns.
