Any massacre like this is sad no matter who the victims are, but I agree that the chances are they were unrepentant sinners which makes this even more of a tragedy.
"The chances are..."? My my, you are naïve.

I find that hard to believe. You prefer to be patronising and condescending towards others than demonstrate any sort of Christian love towards them.
(I feelz Pete's Christian love).
I see that you're still holding a grudge against me for wanting to make use of civil laws to help morally confused people find a better way.

If there were indeed "heterosexual girls" amongst the victims, they surely weren't at a homosexual nightclub preaching to the homosexuals that Jesus has a better way, they were celebrating sinful behavior with them.
I guess I've never considered celebrating sinful behavior as something "valuable".
I wasn't talking about what people do, I was talking about the intrinsic value that each person has. A value so high that Jesus paid the ultimate price, so if they only accept Him, they will be saved. If Jesus can see that kind of value in each and every person, then we should be able to as well.
These people were not only leading Godless/immoral lives by openly participating in an abhorrent sinful behavior, they were leading others astray as well. There is absolutely no "value" to that.

As I mentioned in the earlier post we prayed for the families (even more so) as well. It was sad to see on the news that one of the mothers gave accolades to her son because he started a "gay/straight club". How sad that in life she contributed to her son's eternal damnation.
Well, it's good to hear that you did pray for the families of those involved. Do I think it's sad that people celebrate homosexuality? Of course I do. I also think it's sad that some Christians demonstrate such utter contempt for those who are caught up in that lifestyle.
I find it sad that you don't want to make use of every resource that God made to help these morally confused people out of their Hellbound lifestyle.
