Bring your gun to church day: the pride of American Christians

26Jun09

“God and guns were part of the foundation of this country,” Mr. Pagano, 49, said Wednesday in the small brick Assembly of God church, where a large wooden cross hung over the altar and two American flags jutted from side walls. “I don’t see any contradiction in this. Not every Christian denomination is pacifist.”

The bring-your-gun-to-church day, which will include a $1 raffle of a handgun, firearms safety lessons and a picnic, is another sign that the gun culture in the United States is thriving despite, or perhaps because of, President Obama’s election in November.

I wish, wish, wish this were a joke.

    Do they have discussions about what Jesus would pack? I’m thinking he’s not really a Glock kind of guy. More a Beretta. But then, my knowledge of Christianity is really too unsophisticated to allow an accurate guess.

    I guess I imagine him with a knife, not a gun. More…personal.
