“We had a member express security concerns to a couple of our council men. The member sent a video from the NRA detailing the escalating threat that churches are facing from evil people who want to inflict death on innocent people in large groups, and especially churches, for their conflicting world views,”


Ahhhhh.... nothing like safe, paranoid and armed religion.

1. What could possibly go wrong?

2. What could possibly go wrong?

Did you see the pic?

They're ready!

3. The NRA sure knows what buttons to push.

Feed the paranoia by tapping into their persecution fantasies.

There's a war on Christians you know.

4. If you are willing to cross a street you put yourself at higher risk

Of dying than you do going to church.

That kind of paranoia is why, even as a gun owner, I can't support or have anything to do with the NRA.

Hell, the murderer of Dr. tiller was religious.

5. But isn't Jesus all they need to protect themselves?

6. Luke 22:36

"He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.""

So that's cannon Jesus for ya. I'm sure they'd go on and on about context or something, (fortunately not here) but many christians live by this verse, and take it seriously.

7. Onward, Christian Soldiers.

Do Catholics still refer to young confirmees as "soldiers of Christ"? I don't think they get a slap in the face from the bishop anymore, but maybe that's a discretionary thing.

9. Looks like they're all wearing body armor, too...

Sorry, couldn't resist.

10. Sorry, couldn't resist

Only 2 of them can bend their knees! I bet that guy in the center is the instructor.

12. LMAO!

That is one cringeworthy picture.

[Curmudgeoness]

11. I hope they aren't loaded.

The guns or the trainees. Couldn't they have found a shooting range to do this? Because until some of these people actually shoot that gun, they will have no idea how bad that posture is.

13. Much more fun to imagine blowing away heathens for Jeebus in church.

It's all part of the fantasy.

14. wish I hadn't seen that picture
