If you believe that God would change the trajectory of a bullet targeted at a man who visited Epstein's Island on multiple occasions, but not save innocent children in a Middle School, we ain't worshipping the same Christ.
Notice how it’s always “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.
I can think of very few things less Christlike than chanting “SEND THEM BACK” while proudly waving “MASS DEPORTATION NOW” signs.
Jesus said the way we treat immigrants and foreigners is the way we treat him.
If you see that God is in the business of protecting your preferred presidential candidate from death, but not the other person at the rally, or school children, or immigrants, or Palestinians, then it may be that you’re confusing your own political bias for God.
Whatever your feelings about the Trump shooting, it’s worth pointing out that if a Secret Service team can’t protect a presidential candidate, maybe expecting Mrs. Krabappel to protect her 4th grade students from an active shooter is unrealistic.

When I was a kid, my Southern Baptist pastor overheard me say, “oh my god” after I stubbed my toe on a church pew. He grabbed my arm, pulled me toward him and sternly told me that “taking the Lord’s name in vain” is a serious sin on par with murder, adultery and the other 10 Commandments.
This morning, that very same pastor posted this meme.
“Taking the Lord’s name in vain” isn’t about saying “oh my god” when you’re frustrated. It’s about using Jesus to justify wickedness.
We will not be lectured about election integrity by a former President who incited a violent insurrection.
And tried to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
