Terrorist act in Orlando

[GMDino]

The beauty and the horror of the internet is people react to things much faster.

Less than 12 hours since the shootings and already everyone is blaming everyone else.

How about we start blaming people who get so upset about how someone ELSE is living their life because of religion or politics?

Quote:Texas Lt. Gov. Faces Backlash for Tweeting 'A Man Reaps What He Sows' Bible Verse After Mass Shooting at Orlando Gay Club


06/12/2016 AT 01:00 PM EDT
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has faced a social media backlash for what some perceive as anti-gay commentary after Sunday's mass shooting at a popular Orlando, Florida, gay nightclub. 

"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows," Patrick tweeted Sunday morning, quoting the Bible, hours after a mass shooting at Orlando's Pulse which left at least 50 people dead and 53 injured. Officials have called the attack the deadliest mass shooting in American history. 

Patrick posted the same verse to his Facebook page soon after. Both posts were deleted before noon. 

It was not immediately clear if Patrick was commenting on the Orlando shooting. Representatives from his office did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. 



Many users on both platforms read Patrick's quotation as anti-gay, as that verse (and the one succeeding it) have frequently been quoted as evidence of Christianity's intolerance of gays. 

"You're such a poor example of Texas, and of Christianity. May those affected my this morning's violence be protected from the thoughtless words of idiots like you," one Facebook user commented on Patrick's post. 

Another wrote, "What a horrific post. Disgusting. But then, I guess you failed to remember that the entire book of Galatians was written to the CHURCH, and that Paul's anger was to the bigotry and selfishness within the Christian church at Galatians. In other words – he was talking about people like you.
