Many have offered prayers for the victims and their families which has resulted in prayer-shaming by the likes of ThinkProgress, Sen. Chris Murphy, and many others.

Prayers are for hope and healing. As for evil? God promised us already it won’t go away till his Son returns. Sorry. https://t.co/FkIIkK5tEY
