Maybe they think they'll just be replaced with all the new babies from the anti-abortion bills? We are now officially disposable...
fireclanninja1337
God damnit, is a prayer after all.
TheVirg
Exactly!

Press "1" for votes. Press "2" for prayers.

The whole church thing is just messaging that you're better than other people while making no attempt to help others or change how you live
Rink257
Omfg you are 100% right.
HamsterOnAGoat
If right wing christians could read, they'd be super pissed at this

seriously underrated comment.

"they're in a better place now" is one of the most infuriating statements when something like this happens. As if they were done a favor
captiandavie
also completely opposite the ideal concept of “heaven on earth” that book pushes.
chastidy
It is definitely about cursing
thedarkness2005
Like abortion laws. I can dig.
DrKleiner007
Who gives a shit what the bible says while talking about a law?
CoarseAndSalty
It actually is about cursing, but not as we curse today. And there's no shortage of warnings in the bible about Apostasy and Heresy.
MadPirateBippy
My understanding is that speaking as if you know God's opinions is taking the lords name in vain, not saying god fucking dammit.
dakkaffex
It's both, But it's especially more for the latter
pumper
god is not a name

FUUUUUCK
BohemianInnuendo
Unfortunately, they aren’t true Christian’s. They use their “Christianity” as a shield to deflect and force their beliefs on others.
idiotcube
Great, that's just wonderful to hear. So what are the "real" Christians doing about them?
mck1llen
Not a goddamn thing
morninggloryshade777
Today's 'Christians' are anything but.
BattleTroll
The did pass the laws: https://time.com/5169210/us-gun-control-laws-history-timeline Nobody pays attention to them.

Yeah, let's bring gods into this shitshow as well.

They can try and deny you communion for allowing free will to choose abortion, but if you refuse to stop school shootings you’re still cool.

It's also for not using God's true name, Yehwah, and just their title God. Hence why we use got and not theor reverned name.
flavivsaetivs
YHWH (Yaweh) and it's really about using God's name for self-promotion.
Imadethisaccounttopost
I seem to always misspell it. Thank you.
flavivsaetivs
If it's any consolation I forgot an h. Yahweh
TheUneasyBoosh
if you remove guns(borderline impossible in US) you still have a society were once a week a person wants to end as many people as possible.

Tbh getting to cast a spell for free is pretty busted. To make it truly useless add 3-4 pips of white mana to the casting cost.
graffr
auto include in all phénix deck ! ;)
Xecryo
Naw naw if we really want to roll with this you'd have to pay life and/or sacrifice creatures as a cost.
Gilgamech
So you're saying "thoughts and prayers" is blasphemous?
Thephedora
Pretty fucking much.
DysgraphicProgrammer
Unless they are back by compassion and action, they are worth the wind they are blown on.
RaZorHamZteR
If used as a replacement for doing something about the problem. If you do both you're good.
Rink257
Only when those thoughts and prayers are left empty and meaningless without action to follow up.
westPAguy
RalphH
Yes, yes it is.
TheYoungerChrisEvans
I've always said you can pray for good 'working weather', but you have to actually go out and rake the leaves yourself.
TonawandaBlue
Using religion to glorify yourself, and not glorify God. Hell, yes it is.
Imalwaysready
When used as a placebo and tool of political avoidance in lieu of actual action, yes. You want to say that and then still actually act, no.
NavaanSilverwolf
Christian here. Lemmmmmmme check- yep.
Caliitali
If you can do something, but don’t something, then yes.
adrianenspired
_as an excuse_, yes. "vain" as in "vanity," i.e., being self-serving.
WhatsHerDick
Yes.
mikeatike
Christians are fucking dumb enough to think it makes a difference. After hundreds and hundreds of shootings.

Fauxcused
yeah, because they are lying....
DogurasuThanatos
Feels like "God, help them" and doing nothing is. "God, give me the strength to help them" as you're taking action is fine.
SmokyDoggg
It's hypocrisy when you have the power to change something you say you want to stop but won't do anything to stop it.
