Paul Ryan Criticized over "Thoughts and Prayers" Comment

[Secular Elf]

The platitudes regarding tragedies are indeed quite tiresome.  And a lot of people agree.

Thousands of people have attacked U.S. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan on Twitter after he asked for prayers in the Sutherland Springs, Texas church shooting. At least 20 people have been killed and at least 10 injured in the November 5, 2017 shooting. The suspect has been identified as 26 year old Devin Patrick Kelley. He was killed after a short chase.
Many people are lashing out on Twitter at Paul Ryan calling for gun control, not prayers. This is his Tweet followed by the heated responses.

Ryan's response?:

“It’s disappointing, it’s sad, and this is what you’ll get from the far secular left. People who do not have faith don’t understand faith, I guess I’d have to say. And it is the right thing to do is to pray in moments like this, because you know what? Prayer works. And I know you believe that, and I believe that and when you hear the secular left doing this thing, it’s no wonder you have so much polarization and disunity in this country when people think like that.”

Excuse me, but when religious people claim that their imaginary friend is so damn powerful that he, she, it can create an entire universe from nothing but does not do shit to protect his/her (hmmm...do gods have genitals?)/it's worshipers in his building of worship,  then I would have to say no, prayer does not work.

No, the disunity is not seculars' fault. You conservative religious theocratic Dominionist traitorous scumbags started the damn culture war!!
