Well just in the past week we saw a 16 year old kid being shot twice for having the audacity to knock on someone's door, another girl was shot and killed for pulling into the wrong driveway, and now Two girls were shot in a Texas parking lot after they opened the door to the wrong car.

But we don't have a gun problem, right?

No! Of course not! It can all be blamed on "woke-ism!" Right? :roll:
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

There are more guns in America than ever before, and the gun idiots would have us all believe that even more guns would make us safer.

Dumb dumb dumb dumb
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

The old man who shot 16 year old Ralph Yarl was apparently a Right Wing nut according to his grandson.
Klint Ludwig said his grandfather Andrew Lester, who pleaded not guilty in the case, had fallen down a "right-wing rabbit hole" in recent years. .. Ludwig said that over the past several years, he and his grandfather lost touch largely due to Lester falling down “the right-wing rabbit hole,” according to the Star. Lester engages in a “24-hour news cycle of fear and paranoia,” fueled by conservative networks like Fox News and OAN, that “reinforces and galvanizes racist people and their beliefs,” his grandson said.

Color me surprised.

Not.

Meanwhile, FOX News made it a point to argue against the notion that this was racist.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.
