Christian, Muslim, or Atheist?

Fifty people murdered and fifty-three wounded by a lone gunman.

The gunman who opened fire inside a crowded nightclub here early Sunday morning, launching a rampage that killed 50 people and injured 53 others in the deadliest shooting spree in the country’s history, had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State before the attack, according to U.S. law enforcement officials.




When Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick woke up this morning he heard that fifty American citizens had been murdered by a Muslim gunman and he was outraged. Then he heard that many of the victims were homosexuals and his attitude suddenly changed. He decided to add his Christian perspective to the story with this unsympathetic tweet:

Governor is an intolerant homophobe. The gutless wonder obeyed orders and the tweet was removed from public sight - although he is probably still sharing it privately with his Christian friends and relations.


His advisors are trying to explain the situation this way:
Regarding this morning's scripture posting on social media, be assured that the post was not done in response to last night's tragedy. The post was designed and scheduled last Thursday.

I don't believe it.
