Guns For God!

eh? What?

Okay, so this shouldn’t be the return post. It should be something about GAFCON, or the Jerusalem Directive, or even Female Bishops finally being ordained in England. Perhaps, even, the Lambeth Confrerence.

All of these are long posts in the making. If I actually get round to them, what with life being very busy right now. (Isn’t it always?). However, I saw this, and I thought that perhaps I’d just stepped into an alternate reality.

It appears that the Windsor Hills Baptist church is offering to give away a firearm to children that attend their youth conference. Apparently because people that love God arn’t going to go out there and kill someone.

They site as backing an incident during the Civil War where a teacher thought it was a good idea to arm his entire class and take them out to fight. I would hope that we’re a long, long, long way from times when that was necessary. It appears, again, that someone has missed the point. Guns Kill. There’s no two ways about it. They don’t offer any other use. They are not designed for anything. You could possibly argue that they could be used for hunting, but the item on offer is a Semi-Automatic. If you use that hunting, you best be wanting soup.

Their youth service was, at least last year, punctuated with Gunfire as a way to show their love for Christ, because obviously shooting at the heavens with a weapon of death is that sign.

I don’t think I need to say how stoopid, and frankly dangerous, this idea is. Why on earth would anyone calling them selfs a Christian think that giving one of these things away was a good idea?
