In a contemptible attempt to score points against Christians praying in the wake of school shootings, progressive talk show host, David Pakman, instead came off as a heartless schmuck.
Pakman feigns disbelief that people could be murdered at a Christian school. After all, aren’t those the people who are always offering their thoughts and prayers?
That was the gist of David Pakman’s tweet, but the point he was trying to make wasn’t even honest. According to Pakman, ‘lack of prayer is often blamed for these horrible events’.

Nobody says ‘perhaps if they had prayed more, they wouldn’t have been murdered’. David Pakman just made that up to try to support his asinine assertion.
What Christians actually do is pray for those who are hurting after experiencing tragedy. For a Christian, letting someone know that you’re appealing to God in prayer on their behalf, is the highest form of expressing empathy.
It’s become a joke to many on the Left, who don’t bother much with hiding their anti-Christian bigotry these days.
We can’t imagine this being the thought a person would decide to release into the wilds of Twitter after such a horrific event. Twitter users felt the same.
I see the point, sir, but this tweet isn’t really appropriate.

That was a much kinder response than was deserved, but Pakman had an answer.
Is it more or less appropriate than Republicans offering prayers and nothing else every time there is a shooting?
— David Pakman (@dpakman) March 27, 2023
And there it is … the driving force behind the mean tweet. Pakman equates the murdered Christians with Republicans.

‘How are your thoughts and prayers working out for you now, Christians?’
It’s just messed up.
This is vile.

Yes.
Lack of prayer is often blamed for this?
Show me.

It’s going to be a long wait.
You mock the faith of slain children and their mourning families.
Knowing it’s possible they lost their innocent lives due to an act of hate against them for their religious beliefs.
Are the likes you’ve gained from your recklessly Christophobic tweet worth your moral stain?

Folks, Twitter was at a low point today. So much sadness, grief, and hate.
Not even remotely surprising there would be a mass shooting at a Christian school, given that religious bigots like you are incessantly blaming Christians for every single thing you can think of and supporting those who advocate violence against and oppression of Christians. https://t.co/7zHPXL8tQ4

If you pretend people are Nazis, some wacko somewhere is going to try deal with them like they’re Nazis.
Yes, you're the better, more moral person here, David. Well done.

David left little doubt.
This is despicable.
Delete it, then go and reflect on what kind of a person would say such a thing, and be the opposite.

Good advice for all of us. Politics can be overwhelming when joined with tragedy. May we all step away when the rage level gets too high, instead of behaving this way.

Yep.
I used to consider you a "reasonable progressive." But you've clearly devolved into partisan hackery. I'm an atheist, yet cannot begin to fathom using the murder of children and adults at a Christian school as an opportunity to dunk on the concept of prayer.

This is not difficult.
Delete this https://t.co/nOG3tVe93z

You really should, David. It’s hard not to dig in on Twitter when you do something obviously wrong, but you’d be better off for it if you backed away from this one.
I'm going to pray for you. https://t.co/a9YSAkwdCa

Now that’s a good idea.
