Dear God,
This letter was prompted by the 22 precious lives taken in El Paso on August 3, 2019, by a 21-year-old white supremacist gunman. He told investigators that he wanted to kill as many Mexicans as possible — people who Donald Trump, in his campaign for the office of president, described as criminals “bringing drugs” and “bringing crime,” and as “rapists.”
Just hours after I sat down to write, I heard about the horrible killings of nine more people, this time in Dayton, Ohio, carried out by a 22-year-old white male gunman. How much can any of us take? We are failing ourselves. We are not asking the right questions

Yes. God is here. He sees all and He knows all. One of his Ambassadors was Mother Teresa of Calcutta. She said: "What is taking place in America," she said, "is a war against the child. And if we
accept that the mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to
kill one another." February 1997 - National Prayer Breakfast in Washington attended by the
President and the First Lady.

Oh, yes, George. God is there. The problem is that you and your fellow leftists have chosen to remove him from the public square, to ignore his commandments and to eliminate him from your own lives. 60 million dead babies and booing him at your convention make it obvious. Perhaps he is ignoring you too.

The author lost me after declaring the El Paso shooter a "white nationalist" and simply identifying the socialist Dayton shooter as "white male".
Trump's election is evidence of the existence of God. He won against all possible odds! We "Deplorables", you know the one's who believe in God and Country, rose up and made sure that we took the opportunity God gave us with President Trump.

Perhaps Yancy is too young to remember Madeleine Murray O'Hare, the prayer-in-schools issues, and the year Almighty God was ordered out of American schools. If anyone should use Google for anything, maybe Yancy should. (Because he probably can't focus long enough to open a real encyclopedia.)

Take a moment and look around, and one comes to the inescapable conclusion that WE NEED GOD. Look around and realize that there are millions of people spewing hate. If we are honest, we will admit that both sides are spewing hate. Why are we surprised when we see people so consumed by their hate that they act on it? The result is bloodshed. Always. We are made in such a way that we need God just to survive. We do not fare well when we remove God from our lives.
God is all around us. Go to God. Ask for help. Ask for his peace. God will respond. God may not make you rich, but may very well make you content and remove all the hatred and anger in your life. Don't look towards society or government. They cannot help. Don't think you can overcome all your problems on your own. You cannot. In the end, its between you and God, which is the way God intended it to be. Put your faith and trust in God. God will do the rest.

Hey man, God is exposing you and other leftists and what you've done to this great country that he blessed upon us.

Dear God? Why call Him 'Dear" when that is the last thing you consider Him?

These flakes really hit the jackpot last week. Two mass killers who WEREN'T Muslim. They'll wring every ounce of political capital they can out of it while carefully slipping around the fact that the Dayton murderer was if not Antifa, at least an Antifa wannabe. I notice though that they take pains to point out that he was white. They have a picture of him without his mask on.

FTA: " ... the horrible killings of nine more people, this time in Dayton, Ohio, carried out by a 22-year-old white male gunman."
Ah, yes - - a 22-year old white male. Period. Stop. How conveeeenient!
No mention - - of course - - that this "22-year old white male" is a rabid, far leftist Warren-antifa supporter - - who was taught to hate all conservatives and white males by other rabid, far leftists - - including, oh, the NYT.. Yes indeed - - really, really conveeeenient!

The "right question" is, why does the New York Times still exist? They claim to be a national news source yet they have done nothing but spew Leftist propaganda written by half-wits for a couple of decades. I still remember Jayson Blair "looking out over the cotton fields of West Virginia" while doing an "in-person" interview of a female POW just released from Iraq while sitting in his New York apartment. The quality has gone even further downhill since then,
