“Thoughts and Prayers” – A Tired Response to a Growing Problem

It’s happened again in America. Mass shootings happen so frequently in this country that we’re losing track of them all.   18 school shootings so far this year.

The story just keeps on repeating.  Heroes rush in, sometimes making the ultimate sacrifice.  A community is traumatized.  Doctors attempt to repair the mangled bodies of the survivors.  Heartbroken families bury those taken cruelly and violently away from us.

The gun lobby offers up “thoughts and prayers.”

But what are they reflecting on?  What are they asking God for?

At one time, it probably was true to say that it was “too soon” to “politicize” a tragedy before the dead were buried and doctors had a chance to heal the wounded.  But this has been going on far too long now.
