Shoot an agressor save a man’s life, teach a man to shoot and he can save many.

There are many factors that have caused this decay in our moral structure. The disintegration of the family structure, community involvement, and schools that don’t teach children right from wrong.

Socialism

Non-judgementalism. The unwillingness to say out loud that something is wrong.

Ecumentalism. The belief that all religions are equal.

Not all are equal. Some are evil. (Some are not religions at all)

The government’s war on religion is at the heart of our society’s decay and the rise of violence.

Because they are liberals and use their religion to promote liberalism.

Because advocating for gun control will get them good press; advocating for religion, won’t.

[Retvet]

Because they don’t trust God.

At our old church, and at our current one, there are people who are carrying concealed. I knew who some of the ones at our old church were, but I couldn’t tell you who does where we go now. They’re not obvious.

Which is probably just as well for the bad guys.

Because "clergy" are faulty humans who are as easily distracted as anyone else - just ask Francis....

Effective clergy members are to be respected - much like Billy Graham, but none of them deserve to be revered or thought of as anything but average, flawed humans.

They are sheep who have lost their way.

(Luke 22:36) “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.

I’ll take “Because the Clergy has been Co-opted/Corrupted Too” for $500, Alex.

‘When God is absent from our lives, man can’t fix what makes the human heart go astray.’

how then do we account for the Muslims...?

[ichabod1]

Politicized, polarized, and paralyzed.

[ichabod1]

Baptists are typically quite conservative, especially Southern Baptists, but you still got to watch out PC oozes in around the edges in all kinda ways.

[Ann de IL]

Muslims don’t worship Jehovah, they worship satan.
