Opinion | Nashville Christian massacre and an open letter to Reverend Ed Rotz WashTimesOpEd
This was clearly a hate crime by anyone’s definition. It was religious bigotry in the extreme. It wasn’t “tolerant.” It wasn’t “affirming.” It wasn’t “inclusive.” It was the targeted murder of men, women and children simply because of what they believed, the values they held, and how they lived out their faith on a daily basis.
Those who don’t believe in “common sense gun control have blood on their hands,” tweeted country music’s Rosanne Cash.“Ban assault rifles, not trans rights,” added actress Valerie Bertinelli. Pastor Rotz is a former district superintendent of the Wesleyan Church of North America, a purportedly evangelical denomination that one would think would sympathize with its brothers and sisters in Christ being stalked down in a K-6 grade Christian school and summarily shot for little more than their biblical orthodoxy.
Well, let me take a shot at such a response. Consider this open letter to Pastor Ed and all like him who are “baffled and angered” by those dastardly and “mostly Republican lawmakers” who are a bit nervous about the idea of disarming Christians every time some deranged sexual nihilist decides to go on a shooting spree.What “utterly baffles” and “angers” me is this kind of thoughtless evangelical virtue signaling from Christian leaders who should know better.
