There’s been no shortage of vicious takes following yesterday’s horrific mass shooting at a Texas church. But we’d be remiss if we failed to give actor Michael McKean his turn in the spotlight.
After Paul Ryan’s call for prayers:
Reports out of Texas are devastating. The people of Sutherland Springs need our prayers right now.
— Paul Ryan (@SpeakerRyan) November 5, 2017
McKean fired back with this:
They were in church. They had the prayers shot right out of them. Maybe try something else.

What a completely disgusting thing to say. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I’m an atheist and find this tweet really disgusting.

The irrational anger and hatred of the anti-Theist. https://t.co/B5Di4dljlY

The Left two days ago: 'Allahu Akbar is a beautiful prayer that should be honored.'
Today: 'Their prayers were shot right out of them! Ha!'

1.”Prayers shot out of them?” Wow. R u human? 2.Christians have never seen suffering/martyrdom as a challenge to faith/the worth of prayer.

U criticize our faith with absolutely zero comprehension of it. But again…the timing. Wow. What. A. Jerk.

What is wrong with you @MJMcKean? Attacking the victims for their faith? https://t.co/t4pnhTrOPX

Might be helpful to understand why people pray, friend. https://t.co/rb6jAOWXxf

Guys like McKean whose first instinct is to spew bile need to understand a lot of things. First and foremost, the values of respect and human decency.
You must have a horrible life to think in such a horrible way, I feel sorry for you.

That's a really terrible thing to say. Very disappointed to realize you are like this.

Really? WTF is wrong with you? Do you have any heart at all? Man, I used to like you…now, not so much. #PrayForTexas #2A

Times like this either bring out the best or worst in people. Quite an ugly response Mr. McKeon. Lost all respect…

Unbelievably offensive. Again, they are echoing the views of the killer by attacking/mocking the beliefs of the victims. https://t.co/KYFasLE3qX
