There is a single word for some of these stateside Easter worshippers. It’s snowflakes.

compare and contrast...should be easy given the observational display thus far:

Look at this poor joker’s tweet. Can’t even get the numbers right, and doesn’t even acknowledge that some of these folks were worshipping for a holiday or at a hotel. What is he afraid to say?

President Trump deleted a tweet Monday in which he had mistakenly said he had spoken by phone with Sri Lanka’s president instead of the country’s prime minister in the wake of the Easter Sunday explosions that killed 290 people and wounded more than 500.

The deleted tweet marks the second time Trump has tweeted erroneous information related to the Sri Lanka attacks. In a now-deleted Sunday morning tweet, he grossly overstated the death toll as “at least 138 million people.”

What's your point, subby? That these attacks on Christian Easter worshippers are evil and deplorable? Who here would disagree with that? Remember, though, that the Muslim terrorists responsible for that attack did it in revenge for Christian terrorists who attacked mosques in New Zealand; thus those White Christian terrorists share some blame for the Sri Lanka bombings. In turn, the Sri Lanka terrorists will share some blame for additional revenge attacks by more Christian terrorist attacks on Muslims. Both the Muslim terrorists and the Christian terrorists are equally deplorable. Both Muslim and Christian leaders have an obligation to work together to try to end this mindlessly stupid cycle of revenge bombings and admonish their own people against such hatred and violence.
No precept or claim is 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.

As a quasi-pantheistic-deist of sorts, that went to Easter Mass, I am guessing that one word would be "human"?

yes, because tweets are a recommended measure for federal efficacy....or for "classiness".
maybe explore other measures for virtue? success?...jus sayin', competency via Twitter ain't exactly top shelf expectations.
