Why do clerics opt for gun control over religion?
Because they have wrecked their brand through the perversion of those in authority. They can’t appeal through their original mission, and have to use cheap secular topics instead.
BTW, I’m not religious, and I usually don’t post on religion threads to minimize offense to true believers... but this wasn’t posted to “Religion.”
Because many churches have gone over to the Dark Side. I have had to quit two Methodist churches for political leanings by the preacher. The National Council of Churches is totally Left. IIRC, they were sending money to the Castro Regime for years.
My Baptist pastor doesn’t. He believes in CCW.
“None so blind as those who cannot see.”
Fake clergy.
Maybe because its easier to arm teachers than it is to give them Bibles for their classrooms?
Because they’ve become “fundamentally transformed.” Instead of spreading the teachings of Jesus Christ, they’re now Social Justice Warriors. Whenever I hear the term “social justice,” I run for the exits.
Because they know their religion doesn't work.
Rabbi Jack Moline stated, “It is not mental health, age, wealth, educational opportunity or employment; it is guns.”
In your case rabbi it IS mental health and the guns you didn’t have in WW2 Europe. Schmuck.
Because many of them are liberals who have shipwrecked their faith. They are a huge part of the problem.
Religious leaders have failed.... they have become captives of the secular culture instead of pushing for a religious, faith-based society.
When God is absent from our lives, man can’t fix what makes the human heart go astray.
Go figure.
Gun control implies faith in government.
PCUSA has been a goner for decades.
Because most of them are communist atheists who do not believe in God as we know him and consider dictators their new Gods?
Same reason pedophiles can so easily exist in the “church”. It ain’t a church of God, it’s a cult.
Our church is instituting a CCW policy. Trained teachers and pastors will be packing heat.
Shoot an agressor save a man’s life, teach a man to shoot and he can save many.
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.
