Louisville's Bring Your Firearms to Church DayBy Cary G. Stemle / LouisvilleChoice quotes... "Pacifism is optional for Christians," says Pagano. "It's not a requirement." Joe Phelps, pastor of Louisville's Highland Baptist Church, tells TIME he can relate to Pagano's pastoral need to address his members' fears, "but there is nothing in the New Testament — [which] Christians give priority to — to encourage responding to fear with self-defense. To the contrary, the central message of Jesus is that fear should compel us to trust God's mercy in the midst of the fearful situation. In a face-off between the teachings of Jesus and the Constitution, Jesus better win in church." http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1906765,00.html?xid=rss-nation-cnnNOTE: I am neither a gun-nut nor am I anti-gun. I just find religious debates hysterical. That and when reality slaps these people in the face.
Pagano says the church's insurance carrier, after giving an initial go-ahead, has now told him it cannot insure the event. Pagano expects to find coverage before the end of the week and says the event won't be open-carry without it. Without insurance, he explains, "We'd just ask the open-carry folks to leave their guns in their vehicles," adding that people with concealed-carry permits could still bring loaded guns into the sanctuary.
God this...jesus that...but if the insurance company puts the kybosh down, then no dice! *giggles continuously* |
