What a disgusting liar you are. Here's the full clip so people can listen for themselves. Offered the opportunity to provide words of comfort, Paxton said the Uvalde tragedy was "so senseless and seemingly has no purpose" and encouraged families to "hold on to their faith" and take comfort in God. PAXTON: I think it's difficult to give comfort. If I lost one of my children, I'd be pretty devastated, especially in a way that is so senseless and seemingly has no purpose. I think I would just have to, if I had the opportunity to talk to people, I'd have to say, look, there's always a plan. I believe God always has a plan. Life is short, no matter what it is, and certainly we're not going to make sense of a young child being shot and killed way before their life expectancy. And so, even though we can't make sense of it, I would just have to encourage them to hold on to their faith. And to hold on to their belief that there really is purpose in what God does, and we may not know it now, but someday we will.

Thank you so much for posting the entire clip. God does have a plan even in the midst of pain and suffering. He works all things for our good and for His Glory.
Glad to hear that that’s not all he said, but I feel like saying “god has a plan” needs to fucking go, that’s horrible to say in that moment no matter what. Christian get away to much with this, it’s heartless, id wanna sock someone if they said that after my kid died like this!

Hey dumbfuck, I’d rather the damn government have a plan instead of god. Hes been pretty hands-off the last few thousand years.

It’s not even better. Thats not a good thing to say towards someone who experienced one of the worst pain in the world: loss of a child. And he still votes against gun laws.

Paxton is telling the Truth our days are numbered before were born death is predestined and death is a reward if you have Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

This is the sort of psychopathic thing that people said to me when my brother died while playing soccer. And phew, that made me an atheist.
