I could see Baptists building a gun range, but Methodists? That’s a stretch for me.

Only in the media, and among pacifist Christians is this considered a contradiction.

Christ told the apostles to lock and load, because He knew they were going into a potentially deadly situation, and it seems only the Father had omniscience at the time (Christ didn't, but still had a supernatural prescience. He's back to omniscience now, of course).

I’m a Methodist and I spend an hour every Sunday at the church of John Moses Browning (that’s what I jokingly call my range)

Every Sunday I recite the clay shooter’s prayer:

“Help me O Lord, for your sky is so vast and my targets so small.”

Amen, the bible isn't a suicide pact, as the Socialists and Communists around the
world would have people believe. Keep up this war on Christians and we'll prove it.

I am especially fond of the story of the black robe regiment. I fear that the clergy today is not cut from the same cloth as during the founding of our nation.

I’ve bid on a shotgun at a Methodist Church Annual Auction fund raiser. It and a guided hunting trip were the two hottest items bringing in the most dollars.
