Prayers to you and your families in Colorado. God bless you all.
-
And God blessed all!
-
Yes may he bless everyone in that tragedy
-
I hope everyone in Aurora can find the strength to get past this horrific tragedy. I went to elementary school at aurora elementary in the mid 80's and the people there are wonderful--this tragedy saddens me and I will pray for the victims still in the hospital.
-
just terrible and senseless violence, thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families :heart:
-
yes those victims of that terrible situation have my prayers and i also pray that monster get what he deserves :peace:
-
This is a very sad time in our country. I do pray for those families affected by the terrible tragedy; nespecially those who lost loved ones.
-
Yes, my thoughts and prayers go out to all the families in Colorado. So, so sad.
-
"Prayers", (magical evocation rituals), to dubious religious egregores aren't of any pragmatic 'help' to either the victims or survivors of what happened. There's no indication that such pseudo-comforting efforts are effective or, merely remain self-delusional 'comforts'.
-
another tragedy for the nation to grieve over. There is no way that we can stop the senseless killing of innocent people. we can only pray for them and hope that things like this never happen again. Mass murder. Mass destruction. Holy Mass
-
yes they need prayers will take along time to heal.
-
I live in Denver, pretty crazy here. However, went by a movie theater nearby and it was packed.
-
The shooting was a tragic and senseless act of violence. My prayers are with the people of Colorado. May the Lord comfort you with His peace that passes understanding.
-
It's sad to this had to happen just because some punk could. It's scary how random it was, and it makes me wonder what else do we have to do to stop things like these from happening again.
-
What a nightmere i cant even imagine all the people lost and affected by this tragedy you will all be in my prayers !!!
-
:'( I join in prayer. That was terrible. I saw on the news this young lady had a 3 yr old son and a 4 month baby with her. Can't imagine what those babies were going through and poor mom, my heart breaks. Thank God they are ok now, ,,, I do feel sorry for all those that died. May God give peace to the family. :crybaby2:
PLEASE ! I HOPE FALCON, DOESN'T POST A BAD COMMENT - PLEASE RESPECT !
-
indeed...so tragic
-
Blessings to all the families affected by this horrific display of cowardice on their relatives.

I don't respect "prayer", nor am I required to 'respect' superstitious religious beliefs. If someone wants to help the families of survivors, they could contribute to an assistance fund for them or, go out to Colorado and offer personal assistance to them. "Prayers" accomplish nothing and offer an insubstantial pretense of condolence.
-
I haven't watched much more since Friday, has he mentioned why he did it?
And although another approach could have been more useful falcon..... what he/she said was true in the sense that prayer is not immediate help. Instead of praying, offer your assistance or donate.
-
It is such a tragic event in Colorado. Prayers go up for all those families. I hope for the day when Jesus Christ comes to restore this planet to paradise, where there will be no more such terrible things happening to people.

As soon as I heard about it, I whispered a prayer for God to be with the families. How terrible that must be, my heart goes out to them.
-
my heart goes out to the families in Colorado that suffered losses at the hands of a deranged lunatic. What can influence someone to have a reckless disregard to human life.
-
thank you that's a good idea hope they get all the prayers. I pray that they will be comforted by the Lord Jesus Christ in this hour there need.
-
May the Lord put his hands on the people and appease their hearts. Our prayers are with all the families who lost someone that day!

falcon9, if talks about God bother you so much then why you keep participating in threads like this? That's the thing about atheists, they try to remove any type of references to the creator. But we never try to mess with theirs. What is your motive?

I've already answered that numerous times however, it remains because these forums/threads are not some exclusive domain of xtian proselytizing/propaganda. Responses opposing/disputing such proselytization constitute "participating" just as much as xtian knee-jerk agreements do.

That's teh thing about faith-blinded fundamentalists; they keep trying to inject references to hypothetical supernatural entities into any event/occurance without any substantive linkage. The "motive" of using reason to oppose the unreasoning irrationality of 'religious beliefs' is that such religious irrationality is a historically-proven hinderance to mankind.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of those who lost loved ones in that senseless tragedy in Colorado and I am sure they are grateful for all the prayers being said for them and their loved ones. But we as a nation need to stop just ignoring people who display obvious signs of mental instability and negativity towards American beliefs and values, i.e religion, government, etc. We dont have to agree with all these things, but constant displays of extreme negativity should be a red flag.

That's one of the most inherently religiously-biased loads of nonsense I've come across so far this week. Equating so-called "negativity" regarding "religion" with mental instability when those holding irrational religious beliefs are far more obviously mentally-unstable is more than ironic.
"History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help. But like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it."

AS I STATED BEFORE..........RED FLAG........

AS I STATED BEFORE..........RED FLAG........
That depends on one's perspective; if one is a religious fundie adherent, that one will view opposition to such as a "red flag". Conversely, if one is not an irrational religious adherent, that one will view such as a "red flag" in regards to mental instability.

You're displaying the tendencies of a mindless fundie but, there is insufficient basis to conclusively determine that as yet.

The only red flag I've seen in this thread has been the one in the end of the post that read : ]"PLEASE ! I HOPE FALCON, DOESN'T POST A BAD COMMENT - PLEASE RESPECT !"
I don't know about anyone else, but I found that to be extremely crass.

Considering that I'd posted 'If someone wants to help the families of survivors, they could contribute to an assistance fund for them or, go out to Colorado and offer personal assistance to them', it's quite a stretch to read that as a "bad comment".

My prayers go for those who lost their relatives or beloved in this terrible deadly nightmare. I know there is some crazy people in the world but I believe that more good people than bad people on the earth. Hope for better tomorrow and no more tragic events.
-
My prayers go out to them as well. What a horrible tragedy. :'( It was good to see that Christian Bale went to the hospital to visit the victims.

PRAYERS TO ALL IN COLORADO. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

The reason I asked for your motive is because everytime someone brings up a Christian reference, you feel like you have to harrass them about it. You can have your own opinion on religion. But to go in on every comment that brings up God is redundant. You come off as a troll.
-
My heart and prayers go out to all in CO. Stay safe!!!
-
:peace: :heart: :angel11: I feel so sorry for everyone who went through this and who is still going through it!!! My prayers and thoughts to all!!

Characterizing opposition to blind religious faith as 'harrasing' is a prejudiced/biased characterization because it derives from that same blind religious faith basis.
... every comment that brings up God is redundant. You come off as a troll.
Such repetitious religious proselyzations are redundant and come across as intentional trolling. Opposing such trolling is not trolling because the religious propaganda was posted before the opposing replies, (and opposition cannot logical precede what it is opposing). Therefore, those who repeatedly post such 'faith-based' proselytizing are technically trolling the forums.
-
Many, many thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by such a horrific, senseless tragedy. :heart:
