So, it would be nice if they said "organized religion" vs God then. But maybe let them answer for themselves.

Don't spend much time around here do you? Or just don't pay much attention. Either way.
Nice threadjack. Just turn this into a discussion on religion itself and (your) faith, belief whatever and spin against those opposed to organized religion and the use of it in US culture. As opposed to, oh, I don't know. {checks thread title} oh yeah....gun culture in the US, and (my point) it's apparent goose step support from Christian Nationalists. You'd think Christians might have a bit more empathy and support for grieving families whose kids were murdered with a weapon of war. But all they can seem to manage is to throw up their hands and invoke the 'will' of God and say, "Nothing you can do about it, might as well accept it and move on". It's a rather ingenious way to avoid actually taking responsibility for anything they don't want to.
Pat Robertson and his ilk literally blame every bad thing that happens on godlessness and punishment, or the will of god for something. It's so much bullshit. It's hard to take over and over again.
But sure, how about you tell us all about your faith and how God leads you though the good times of your life.
