So you think it is shameful to discuss god in this context because you don't think god was somehow involved with religious terrorism? Am I understanding you correctly?Perhaps they refuse to capitalize God, therefore he doesn't know he's being addressed or is ignoring them over the lack of respect ?
So god can harden Pharaoh's heart and destroy Egypt to demonstrate his own glory. But, when it comes to mass murder he is just going to sit back and observed?
Folks aren't "blaming" folks for extending prayers in the most sincere way they know how. Politicians who tweet about what they are going to pray for aren't even the ones sending their tweets. Their staff writes and send the tweets for them. If they believe in the power of prayer, why don't they prayer for god to end the gun violence? If the prayers do have power, why don't they work?
