rizz_loves_jesus Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I sincerely hope, in his final moments, he realized and repented for what he has been doing for the past few decades. My family has been praying for him for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 While it was a mortal sin to gun him down, and a horrible thing that happened, thank God his killing spree is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamalove Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Just got home from adoration and heard the news from the lady who comes in after me. Totally shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resurrexi Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Not only was the action of whoever shot him immoral, it was also counterproductive and lacking prudence. Tiller will now be hailed by pro-aborts as a martyr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know who or why, and you'll never really know the latter. Leave the judgement as to whether a sin is imputed to a person to God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We simply don't believe unborn children are equal to born children--I have the guts to admit it. And that, among other things, makes me wonder about my soul.

Brother Adam Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Yes, and walking into a church and gunning someone down qualifies as murder, likely premeditated. I just honestly can't imagine this story turning into a case of self-defense in a church where Tiller is the aggressor. If it does fine, I take it back. -- Okay, I use grave and mortal interchangeably. Bad habit. It is without a doubt grave matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
