1.) Now number one depends on your point of view. People who wear metal vests and carry clubs are generally not considered friendly.

2.) By the time the disruption occurs it is often to late to do anything. Perhaps I go more than a little overboard here but seeing people shot in church by nuts does tend to do that to you.

3.) Yes, this fellow was there to disrupt and he admits it. He dresses to attract attention and comment. He may not view it as harmful, but he was there to cause disruption not to worship.

4.) Maybe

5.) And I take it that he is one of those annoying attention whores who goes around trying to produce "teachable moments".

1. Did you catch the video? He was dressed not too different from a lot of Lutheran Pastors in a simple white robe. Actually, if I were to formulate a nutcase plan to kill churchgoers, I’d elect to dress as a prosperous white churchgoer. If you choose to profile and eject, you’ll also restrict who you’ll accept - they go hand in hand.
2. If you have actually been in a church that had a shooting, my condolences. However, your situation doesn’t change the Sovereignty of God or his call to all.
3. No, he wasn’t there to disrupt and he didn’t admit any such thing - your prejudice leads you to that conclusion. In fact, the police explicitly stated that he didn’t do any such thing. Further, he’s been doing this for 22 years and only had one other incident like this. Assuming he goes only 75% of the Sundays, that’s a whopping 858 other episodes like this one. Methinks this church is out of line.
4. You know they were. ‘Maybe’ is fudging.
5. I’ll grant a moot point about the man’s interior motives. However, nothing in the article, his stated purpose and behavior or the cop’s report indicates anything to support your assumptions. Truth is, most ‘Christian’ churches today are the whores seeking to impart humanistic ideas in theatrical ‘teachable moments’ which is no different from Christ’s time.
