The New York Daily News evoked outrage with its headline about the San Bernardino shootings. (Twitter)

The New York Daily News couldn’t be blunter in its characterization of those in the Republican Party who turned to prayer after the San Bernardino shooting, rather than gun control, blasting out a headline that basically read: relying on God was stupid.

The newspaper’s front page contained a headline in huge font that read, in all caps: “GOD ISN’T FIXING THIS.” Above, it read: “14 dead in California mass shooting.” Beneath, it read: “As latest batch of innocent Americans are left lying in pools of blood, cowards who could truly end gun scourge continue to hide behind meaningless platitudes.”

And what were those “meaningless platitudes?”

In “So Help Me God,” Judge Roy Moore brilliantly argues those who ordered him to remove a monument to of the Ten Commandments from his courthouse are the ones breaking the law by ordering him to violate his oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States.

Alongside the borders of the front page, the New York Daily News ran images of portions of four Republican leadership tweets.

From Sen. Lindsey Graham, who’s seeking the presidency: “Thoughts and prayers are with …”

From House Speaker Paul Ryan: “Please keep the victims of #SanBernardino, California in your prayers.”

“The Evidence Bible” is now available and includes, besides the King James version, dozens of articles expanding answers to questions such as why is there suffering, explanations about what Muslims believe and scientific facts written millennia before man discovered them.

From Sen. Ted Cruz, a rising presidential candidate in the polls: “Our prayers are with the victims, their families, and the first responders in San Bernardino …”

And from presidential hopeful Sen. Rand Paul, referred to as Dr. Rand Paul: “My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, families, and brave first responders …”

Other presidential candidates, like former Gov. Mike Huckabee, Sen. Marco Rubio and former Gov. Jeb Bush tweeted out messages of prayer as well.

This infallible argument for armed self-defense presents real stories of Americans fighting back against criminals – and surviving because they were armed. “America Fights Back: Armed Self-Defense In A Violent Age” is a must-read for anyone who has ever wondered if concealed carry can actually save and protect.

And as if the message of the newspaper’s senselessness of prayer wasn’t made obvious, the New York Daily News also highlighted the word “prayers” in each of copied Twitter messages with yellow.

The prayer shaming went deeper than hitting at the Republican notables. The headline came at the same time news reports broke of community members in San Bernardino not only requesting prayer for the victims of the shooting that left 14 dead and 17 injured, but also gathering in a prayer circle to thank God for blessings, Fox News reported.
