Pastor was talking about guarding the doors of certain places for protection and made a joke that they didn’t lay down Saul for “rocks” in his pockets when he entered the room. Made me chuckle thinking it was a rock that was the weapon of choice in biblical times when fighting- yet we didn’t ban and remove rocks from the land. It’s a rock then a gun now- banning the item used to fight doesn’t fix the one holding the rock….
Was at church and had a thought… (guns in church ..or something)

We have many people carrying rocks at my church every week. I’m one of them.

That is very good. Protecting others from evil is the righteous thing to do.

Only heathens and atheists carry Glocks, as Glocks hath no soul.
I am certainly both of those things, and I still don't prefer Glocks.

We have a camera system with walkie talkies, a medical response team, AED, first aid kit, narcan, and armed guards. We have three AED’s in various areas and we actually do a pretty good job. It’s not perfect and there’s too many entries and exits for my liking but we’ve expanded and had to add on a few times now so that’s what you get.That is very good. Protecting others from evil is the righteous thing to do.
Kids are checked in with unique IDs and tags handed to parents and kids, to tag, no kid, kids are in one area of the building and locked from the remaining congregation. Workers are background checked. They take it seriously. We need more security members to go full scale and we’re trying but it’s hard to get people on board and in that mindset at church. We’ve had a few minor incidents and the one guy that came to our church kidnapped his daughter but not from our church. He had a mental break and just took her for a long unsanctioned walk but the cops found his wallet, cell and other personal belongings in the trash can so the cops freaked out.

Imagine a G21. It has no soul of it's own, but the 45acp round it fires deletes the soul of it's target...
It has negative souls....

I’m signed up for something very similar coming up here. It’s at a church with love simulations of shooting a perp in a church congregation setting.Christian Warrior Training | Keith Graves | Substack

Here in the Empire State it kind'a sux, we're only allowed to get our rocks off 10 + 1 times.

Society sucks that this what we have come too.
I thought they were like redheads?
Redheads have one freckle for every soul they steal.
Glocks have one grip stipple for every soul they take.

Yes it does. I think church attacks will continue to rise as they currently are. The crisis pregnancy center my church was moderately affiliated with was fire bombed a few years ago and the FBI is still working on it. I have heard through the grape vine the FBI doesn't really care and hasn’t put much effort into it. That Jane’s addiction took credit for it and they have video of them. I’m not sure how good it is or what. I know the director of the center has been on the news a few times saying they aren’t working on it very hard and wanted to keep the video because of this but the FBI wanted the original. Why is that? Is it true?

If it was an abortion center/clinic the FBI would be on it like ugly on an ape.

They put more efforts towards someone painting a swastika on a Jewish center a few years back. I don’t support painting swastikas on anywhere but fire bombing a building is certainly worse. Hochul was silent.
Jesus said, my father is greater than I........... and that to pray, one simply needs to go to a small room and pray silently..not making a public spectacle of ones self..or as an ostentatious pharisee.
Constantine built the church after 325 ad.............and after Constantine legalized the Christian Faith, big churches were constructed... East and West...
It is a far cry from praying in a small room, or in the presence of 2 or 3...........to today's big fortress maddness..like a fireman on call......................no one is safe from the opposition in any church setting....mosque, Temple, Church, Tent Revival.............Big churches can be inspirational, like Notre Dame.....
But guards needed..............
But somehow the message is lost in the gimme money and all you sins are forgiven, BS
Jesus said I go forward to prepare a place for you..many mansions............ or prison cells exist for the bad to the good.......................depending upon karma..........divine justice exists, and we see plenty of it everyday, and likely in the afterlife. Crime don't pay.......even Biden's name has become shit in the mud.........slow death by humiliation...Gods plan.......
Religion is big business.....between 378 billion to 1.4 trillion dollars are taken in by Religion from "sinners" buying salvation, in the USA today......
A far cry from Jesus conception to reform Judaism..Jesus was born and died a Jew.
But almost none $$$ from me, but I pray everyday for guidance.

How much money does religion generate in the United States?
It's important to consider the benefits of organized religion, the study said, when the U.S. seems to increasingly step closer to a more secularized society.

At my niece and nephews bat/bar mitzvahs I was called up to the bimah (same as a church pulpit), which is where they read from the torah to the congregation. This is an honor bestowed upon close family and friends. I had my rock and extra rocks with me up there.

It's good you had your rocks with you. One never knows when someone might try to stone you to death.
I am a Proud Heathen.... Now that I am no longer with my prior department, I will never carry a Glock!

Makes sense. “Only heathens and atheists carry Glocks.” Different than “Heathens and atheists carry Glocks only.”
So what do you carry then if not a glock?
Some of us prefer Walthers TYVM.
