Sounds like a social justice church.

Kids turning in stolen toy guns instead of older kids turning in stolen real guns.  Well, anything to train up the hood-rats, I guess.

Yeah this is going to keep the community safe. If any members were smart they would bail on that place yesterday but they are probably just as jacked up with the stupid as he is.

I played with toy guns when I was a kid. I shot real guns in the same back yard a few years later. (we had a nice hill that made a great backstop)

A few years after that I was actually able to get my dad out of the garage on a weekend and take him to the gun club I was a member of. It was the first time in years he had shot a gun, and he was a very good shot thanks to the military and several years of hunting when he was younger. Priceless memories. Dad tore it up with my mini 14 and the several pistols I owned at the time. I miss my dad. 

I don't go around shooting people. I have been shot at and had a bullet go completely through my wrist. It's a long story, the good news is I lived and I did not lose the loss of my right hand.

Lucky man!  I've been shot at and missed, that's close enough for me.

I'm quite satisfied with having a gun pointed at me, TYVM.  Once was sufficient.

Geeze...what about the kids' swords, bows and arrows and light sabers?

One of my favorite toys growing up was a cap gun.  I don't know if you can even buy them anymore.

Very lucky and only 20 years old. It still sucked. Had to wear a cast for the broken bone, and the GSW had to heal from the inside out. It was pretty nasty when they had to burn the meat off of arm every week after they removed the cast. It was boring being off work and I don't think my grass had ever been kept that short!

I'm glad you were not hit when shot at!

Had it done to me twice in the Army and by people who are supposed to be our Allies. Then there was that fun little bit with the nutjob that shot his daughters boyfriend outside of work in the back of the head. Still lucky he didn't try and take more people out to make a getaway.

I am feeling spunky today so I found this and going to ask a few questions.

This Pastor says he has no weapons of death in his home, right.   Does he not have a few crucifixes laying about somewhere, a symbol of torture and death ????

Why did Christians choose the cross instead of the Fish as we often see on the backs of cars to denote a Christian owner?

Jehovah Witnesses ask me why carry a symbol of torture and murder and not a symbol of his love and grace.

Had Jesus been killed by a sword would we all be wearing small swords as Jewelry ? 

The very early Christians used the fish symbol in caves and places they gathered, I seriously do not think they would have wanted to place symbols of the death of Jesus about, they were more into how he saved Mankind with his teachings and how he was still among us in Spirit.

To me the symbol of the fish is a more powerful statement then a devise he was put to death on.  Jesus was a fisherman of souls, I believe it is his life and teachings that need to be recognized and not the last hours of his life being tortured to death.   Why remind us of his death and not of his life is beyond me.

Give me the FISH if I want to remember Jesus, not some devise of murder with Jesus hanging on it dead.
