Their blood is on your hands

"Their blood is on your hands, five lives taken"

This message was graffiti on the wall of the Colorado Springs "Focus on the Family" church, blaming the church for the shooting death of 5 people at a gay night club.

I find this concerning because that church does preach against alternative lifestyles, and promotes the traditional family. It deals with ideas, beliefs, conversations. It does not call for violence.

Nevertheless someone believes that that church's ideas, beliefs, conversations are responsible for creating violence against LGBTQ.

How long until ideas, beliefs, conversations even private ones, are outlawed? prohibited? punishable? Because of the potential to be loosely be connected to violence against LGBTQ.

If a person hears a sermon promoting traditional families, then later commits a crime against a LGBTQ, is the church responsible?

If a gay person hears a sermon promoting traditional families, then feels bad and commits suicide is the church responsible?

The culture war rages, and Jesus must shake his head and look down on us with sadness.

When a self-acclaimed LGBTQ individual shoots up a gay bar, killing 5, lets blame it on an organization who supports heterosexual marriages. It would make more sense to go after the LDS church who raised the guy who killed the people.

Democrats in action. Failure to take personal responsibility means it is someone else's fault.

I didn't think anyone or thing could supplant the evil firearm as the guilty object of any mass shooting, but apparently there is something loathed more by liberals, something that can be a tool for hate even more than the gun... a church.
