From North Carolina pastor John Pavlovitz:
I came across your Tweet today; the one about these “arrogant snot teenagers” protesting gun violence—how they “stomp, pout, and cry when everything doesn’t go their way.”
I saw you dismiss these young people, by referring to them all as “laundry detergent pod-eaters.”
I shook my head and thought to myself, “These friggin’ bots are out of control.”
Then I looked more closely, and my stomach turned because I realized it was far worse than that.
I realized you’re an actual person.
You’re a supposed human adult; a professed “proud Christian” who raises children and votes and goes to church and drives past me every day.
You’re a 45-year old American man who manages a business and coaches a middle school baseball team.
That grieves me more than anything, because that I can’t fathom.
