Calling people who were killed in a Church on Easter Sunday 'Easter Worshippers' on your way to condemning the attacks obviously means...well, what exactly? Is it proof that they are anti-Christian? It's not like they are saying there were good people on both sides...

Any other observations?


Only that you're a few days too late and you're a hypocrite. Any legitimate concerns over actual crimes committed by Trump is immediately dismissed by you as "hair fire" over reactions and here you are freaking out over semantics. This is FOX News stupidity at its finest.

"Pews were packed Sunday with Easter worshipers, many of whom had left after the church's role in the 1994 genocide." -The Christian Science Monitor, April 12, 2004

"Muslim woman ready to be suicide bomber to kill Easter worshipers set free" - Pakistani Christian Post

"The president of the Kenyan bishops’ conference has called on Easter worshipers to commit themselves to praying for peace and security in their homeland after Islamist terrorists attacked a college campus days earlier." - Catholic Herald, April 7, 2015

"Pope tells Easter worshipers to keep their faith amid wars and hatred" - April 16, 2017

"Many churches have eased into the vigil slowly because some parishioners have resisted shifting some of the Eastern emphasis to Saturday night from Sunday morning, the time when most Easter worshippers still attend church." - NYT, 1983

"And today, the wooden pews will fill and the balcony, too, with Easter worshipers." April 16, 2017

"All churches — no matter what their past attendance has been — should assume they are going to have more Easter worshipers than ever before and make plans accordingly." - https://www.churchleadership.com/leadin ... p-service/

"At 6:35 a.m. on Sunday, April 12, as the sun creeps over the horizon, sunrise services throughout the region will welcome Easter worshipers." - April 5, 2009

"Holy Saturday is a time to anticipate. And probably to hustle too, if you’re one of the people tasked with arranging sprays of greenery and bright clusters of blossoms in church sanctuaries in time to welcome Easter worshipers." March 31, 2018

You can google "Ramadan worshipers" and "Mosque Worshipers" and see it is also common.

Christians are the most terrified, paranoid and pitiful group of people on the planet. They constantly see themselves victimized in everything.

Right-wing media creating a full-on outrage over this one is god damn amazing. Yet here we are.

that "thing" not being federal efficacy...but please go on and put goalposts wherever you like. If you are unable to discern the glaring difference then I am sure you will be edified in 2020.

Yet here you are, the board’s resident faux-outrage, hair-fire, snowflake right-winger. What on Earth are you complaining about, here?

Please, reach into your pants already, grab whatever you can find down there and tell us what you think. If you can, anyway.

Yes, being upset over a mass shooting targeted at Muslims is the same thing as being upset about a Democratic politician using the phrase "Easter Worshippers" instead of "Christians" to describe the victims of a bombing. Same thing. I'm sure you died inside a 1000 times the day someone used the phrase "Easter worshippers" so maybe it is even worse than being the victim of a mass shooting. Perhaps the real slight against Sri Lankan bombing victims wasn't the death, but being posthumously described as Easter Worshippers.

Yep, clearly 2 different topics, thank you for sharing yet another par-for-the-course dismissive and irrelevant observation.
