A church just held a “blessing ceremony” for assault rifles. The pictures are insane

By Colin Taylor

The disturbing face of right-wing extremism – the manifestation of the volatile and aggressive fusion of conservative gun fetishism with radical Christianity – reared its ugly head in a small Pennsylvania town, where a local church had called for its congregation to bring their assault rifles to church for a “blessing ceremony.”

The images emerging from event in Newfoundland, Pennsylvania, which was so unsettling that it prompted a local school to close for the day, paint a picture of an apocalyptic death-cult with more in common with radical terror groups like ISIS or al-Qaeda than anything resembling “Christianity.”

Wearing crowns of bullets in a horrifying parody of the thorns placed around Jesus’ head, the congregation of the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary church dressed in white and sang the praises of the AR-15 assault rifle, which the pastor believes is the “rod of iron” referenced in the Book of Revelations, the apocalyptic biblical prophecies that Christian extremists believe will eventually result in the end of the world as we know it.
