I realized the other day that part of the reason why I don’t blog as much is that I’ve developed a distaste for talking politics over the years. I find more and more that people just want to talk with people they agree with, and I find that to be boring. I don’t feel like I’ve made much of a contribution if I look at the comments and it’s nothing but high-fives.
However, I’ve seen this guns in church thing in Louisiana, and I just can’t let it slide.
I really don’t want to get into the Second Amendment because that’s an area where no one’s going to be swayed. I just like to mention the irony that the amendment reads in a way that allows guns to form a militia, but see how quick the government will shut down your gun-toting militia.
Anyway, here’s my one question — what is going down at your church that makes you feel the need to pack heat?
I readily admit that I don’t have a lot of church attendance on my resume, but I’ve never been to a church where I felt like I might wanna have some steel. And hey, I’ve been to church a few times in Acres Homes in Houston. There’s no shortage of chrome ’round those parts, Jack.
I see that the law would allow church employees to have guns, just in case something jumps off. I can see the point there, given that there tends to be money in churches, and there’s always a criminal demand for money. But…you’ve got to be kidding me.
Maybe this is a statement to where we’ve come as people, but I just can’t see that. If you need the tool at church, you need to find another church. Either that, or your church really doesn’t command much respect. Somebody’s preacher needs to step his game up or something.
