As these words are typed, the nation faces relentless, never-seen fires in the west and hurricane force never-seen flooding and storms in the east. AND, God sends the shooter again and again. God has HIS weapons in HIS armory, so Kim Davis needs to HUSH and OBEY the law that she helped bring about. Well at least we now know who is behind all the mass shootings. Jaysus! ---

The Phelpsians do have a perverse logic - Kimmie willingly was part of The System to begin with and did not mind as long as it did not gore her particular ox so God Hated Her already and now she has to deal with it. ---
