Why would you do that to yourself.Guys I'm pretty sure he means that offering thoughts and prayers to those who have suffered tragedy is right in the sense that it makes them feel better. Especially church folk.
I agree with that much. But considering they use it as an empty gesture and don't do anything else it's ridiculously weak. It should be an added gesture that is accompanied by concrete solutions.
Now I see really gross with a semi defense of Paul Ryan. Excuse me while I go throw up
This is what I was essentially taught as an evangelical growing up too, but the way people are taught can vary wildly depending on denomination and individual church. I suspect Ryan subscribes to the 'If you're good and worthy, you're rewarded with life and lots of wealth.'As a catholic I concur with this assessment. But remember the Paul's base is evangelicals. You're not getting through to those guys
