Fox "News" says church is the best place to be shot. I am not making this up.

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/11/fox-news-host-says-church-is-the-best-place-to-get-shot-theres-no-other-place-we-would-want-to-go/

"Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt asserted on Monday that the dozens of people killed at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas had gone to the right place to be shot because they were close to Jesus at the time of their death.

“We’ve been reporting this shouldn’t happen in a church,” Earhardt said during an interview with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R). “But I was downstairs talking with some people that work here that we all talk about our faith and we share the same beliefs. We were saying there’s no other place we would want to go other than church.”

“Because I’m there asking for forgiveness,” she continued. “I feel very close to Christ when I’m there. So, I’m trying to look at some positives here and know that those people are with the Lord now and experiencing eternity and no more suffering, no more sadness anymore.”

Abbott agreed that there was a “necessity for us to come together under one God to purge evil and to rely upon the love that God provides.”

WTF if they have faith it should not matter anyway. Do they think God is so arbitrary that he will send them to hell faster if they don't happen to be praying when they are shot?

This kind of thinking is why I left formal religion. I believe in spirit helpers, and magic and nature, but to think that Church is a good place to be shot....just odd.
The Fox hosts are always involved in some kind of 4th grade magical thinking.

Go to church with your family to pray.....

The whole family gets shot up by a deranged gun nut....

The family members who get shot and die at the house of worship stays for the wake and funeral.... the preacher is continuously on hand and at their side.

You might get real lucky and the church gives the family a volume discounted burial package fee.

The glorious magic hand of the free market enterprise offers discounts to the family of the deceased.... no need to shop around looking for the most reasonable or best deal.

What more could possibly be asked for ?
Another thrilled and happy customer.

Do these buy-bull-bots even think before they babble their Christian bullshit ?
