oh, they were watching a play. being that is a unitarian church I wonder if it was play about phags being oppressed. that being said, no one deserved to die.

It was a bunch of kids putting on “Annie”. Okay - perhaps not the most “Christian” thing - but view it more like the local community get-together place with a chance to hang out with friends and watch the kids perform. I wonder if they got the chance to sing “Tomorrow” which they had no doubt been rehearsing (fun in itself and keeps the kids entertained and engaged during the summer).

I sort of hope not, to go from singing this song to seeing their parents, aunts, uncles, etc. shot up and laying in pools of blood because of some sick bas*&%D that probably never had a date and blamed it on his parents and “church”.

Tomorrow:

The sun’ll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
They’ll be sun!

Just thinkin’ about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
and the sorrow,
‘Til there’s none!

When I’m Stuck with a day
That’s gray,
And Lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
OH

The sun’ll come out
Tomorrow So ya gotta hang on
‘til tomorrow
Come what May

Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I Love ya
Tomorrow!

You’re always
A day
Away!

(Lines)

When I’m stuck with a day
That’s gray and Lonely
I just stick out my chin and grin
And say, Oh

The sun’ll come out tomorrow
so ya gotta
hang on
‘til tomorrow
Come what May
Tomorrow, Tomorrow
I love ya, Tomorrow
You’re always a day, Away!

Thanks for that. The description said, “long hair”, just looks curly, not long. Couldn’t figure out why there was no information about this guy.

Thanks again,

Sheesh, lighten up. They are just speculating about the speculation about this guys motive. Someone asked what unitarianism is about and the conversation is a little side tracked. NO ONE has suggested these people deserved to get shot.

No, but there have been some awfully snarky comments that have no place in this thread.

Why can’t you people come up with new ‘baiting’ material? Why do you keep antagonizing Christians with the same questions they asked 70, 80 years ago?

Why do Christians fear death? Why did the Pope have surgery to save his life?

"To live is Christ, to die is gain"

No, you would not be doing a Christian a favor by killing him, but he would benefit from your actions.

Why do Christians fear death?

I resist death because I have people here to take care of. I don't fear it. I can't explain why other people fear death.

Why did the Pope have surgery to save his life?

Because everyone has a job to do, and the longer we're here, the more we can accomplish.

Here's a question for you: Why does every Debate Club/Philosophy major dropout ask the same questions?

Because we are still waiting for an honest answer.

You people make me giggle.
I can do that, because I’m not a very good Christian. I have no assurances of a greater reward, only hope. Hope, and people like you to amuse me on my journey.
Aren’t you going to ask me if God can make a mountain too big for him to move?

This thread is full of self-righteous folk.
