    Don’t they know that now is not the time to talk about gun control?

    What''s wrong with these people? Don't they know this is the time for demeaning the murdered and the surviving victims? For wearing pearls to mock those who want to restrict ownership and stockpiling of mass-killing weaponry? For thoughts and prayers?

    From the NYT: For years, there had been muted criticism of Franklin Graham by some evangelicals. It began after the Sept. 11 attacks, when Mr. Graham branded Islam a “very wicked and evil religion,” and escalated during Mr. Graham’s stoking of the “birther” slander. But given his status as evangelical royalty and respect for his charitable work, the misgivings mostly remained private.

    And you admire this guy? Sure, Samaritan's Purse sounds like a good thing. But do thoughts such as these not give you a bit of pause?

    Just once, I would like to hear an alleged Christian pray for God to melt down all handguns or other weapons intended principally or entirely for the murder of other humans. Just once. Prayer by the faithful brings results, right? So why don't we hear Trumpist preachers pray for the end of guns?

    I notice you have absolutely no answer for any of the actual sections of the Bible referenced, and in this entire conversation you have attempted to quote the Bible exactly once, which you misquoted. Because your stance has absolutely zero grounding in the Bible.

    Genesis 2:7 clearly state that the soul is given with breath.

    Good plan, but he obviously didn't think through Step 2.

    See Mike vs. Clint in "Dazed and Confused."

    JMO, but this is a strange argument to have on this thread.

    The girl in the video berating Clinton was wearing a Bernie shirt. Some things have not changed.
