5. Hey, Doofus, the bible says 'sword'.
WTF are you doing with AKs and pipe bombs?

What kind of Christian are you? The Good Book is to always be taken literally!

6. Sounds like they missed the "he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword" bit.
It's an honest mistake. If you're incredibly stupid, illiterate and prone to violence.

8. that's all right as long as "defending" oneself
within the law of the land doesn't involved the involuntary engagement of other civilians or their property or access to property.

If America is that far gone from their vision of what should be that they feel they have no other choice than violent confrontation, then they should leave it. Mexico and further south are one choice. Liberia, near Jonestown is another great place.

They should be real leaders and leave, along with their flock.

9. These overfed Baby Hueys think they're badasses
but they don't have the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!



Armaments, chapter two, verses nine to twenty-one

And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu...

<skipping a bit>

And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

Amen.


It's a sacred relic, yunno.

11. Jesus would not have been crucified if he had an Uzi.
He would have blown Pilate and his Roman stormtroopers away.
