I'm sure that I will get bashed for this, but when did the church of Jesus Christ become a paint gun hunter camp?

There was a time when a "church" was a sanctuary for worship (surrounded by the faithful dead), no church office, no "fellowship hall," and no paint ball guns.

While it IS wrong someone stole from a church, I also agree that paintball guns have no place in a Church of God.

Lots of churches provide fun, safe activities for kids.

I think it is to show kids they can have fun and stil honor God. It gives them an alternative to drugs, stealing, etc.

Gun control extremists at work?

Right, an hour on Sunday and then they need to let those kids out into the popculture of sex and drugs the rest of the week?

The church is offering alternatives that are badly needed.

Some pissed off conservative is going to zero in on their congressional reps with paintball guns, just to let them know how vulnerable they really are. Wouldn’t that be a hoot, Nancy’s red dress splattered with yellow paint......can you just see her face?

From the article:

The problems started nearly a year ago when someone broke into a storage shed and made away with various items worth about $10,000 that included 40 paintball guns used by youths attending the church’s annual summer youth camps.

“ There was a time when a "church" was a sanctuary for worship (surrounded by the faithful dead), no church office, no "fellowship hall," and no paint ball guns.” [excerpt, —hiho hiho]

“While it IS wrong someone stole from a church, I also agree that paintball guns have no place in a Church of God.” [—I Hate Obama]

So a storage shed is a 'fellowship hall' and/or 'Church of God'?

Church sponsored summer youth camps often have things like paintball, motorcycles, horses, gokarts, etc.

I can just see it now, all those kids armed with paintball guns sitting on their motorcycles, horses, and gokarts in the sanctuary singing hymns...


If I didn't know better, I'd say somebody got a welting in a paintball game.

Several somebodies.


I'd post a picture of my paintball gun, but I don't want to cause anyone considerable mental anguish. (Oh the horror!)
