4 Reasons why GUN CONTROL IS UNCHRISTIAN, whether waiting periods, mag size limits, or background checks
 
Aaron Alexis, a man known for mental health problems and gun violence, bought a gun and used it the next day to kill 12 people in a non-stop hail of lead. Liberals, some of whom even claim to be Christian, think that the massacre could have been prevented if there were background checks on gun buyers, a waiting period between buying the gun and getting their hands on it, and/or limits to how many bullets a magazine can carry. Let's see if their claims stand up to the Biblical facts.

4 Reasons why GOD HATES GUN CONTROL:

1. Background screening for insanity wouldn't have worked. "Insanity" is a slur for "Christianity".

Aaron Alexis was not insane - his only mental "problems" were paranoia and hearing voices. "Paranoia" is simply a smear-term liberals use to describe Republican patterns of behavior: seeing threats where others do not, and using massive pre-emptive violence against them. Liberals called President Bush "Paranoid" when he said he wasn't waiting for a permission slip to defend his country from Saddam Hussiens well-hidden (and still-hidden) WMD. If Aaron Alexis was insane, then so is Bush and the entire Republican Party. :wacko:

If "hearing voices" made you insane, than every prophet in the Bible would be insane - even the founder of Judeo-Christianity, Abraham himself, which brings us to the next point:

2 Our covenant with God would be impossible if Abraham had a waiting period before acquiring a weapon.

Read Genesis 22: (at BibleGateway)

2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

Got that? "NOW". Abraham heard a voice in his head saying "murder your son NOW!" If Abraham had said "Sorry, I'd love to murder my son right now but there's a week-long waiting period before anyone can get a weapon, and I'll never get a weapon now since I'm hearing voices in my head." the covenant would be off, Judeo-Christianity and Islam would never have existed, and the Mosque at the Dome Of The Rock would be a McDonalds. And you wouldn't want to live in that world, would you?

Carrying on...

6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife [which he did not have to wait for]; and they went both of them together.

7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.


Here's an important point: Abraham, the founder of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, in an act that is central to all 3 faiths, is openly lying. And billions of faithful know this and celebrate it. So next time Republicans lie in a political debate, don't get all squeamish, remember that one of the central pillars of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic faith is lying to our helpless victims, so that we can murder them under the orders of the voice of God in our heads.

9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.

10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.


See how quickly and elegantly that happened? No paperwork, no waiting, no sitting on the couch while song shrink asks him if he's still hearing the voice now that he's on medication. No, he just stretched forth his hand.

3. When God wants you to kill, he wants you to kill NOW. Failure to do so is a death penalty offence under Biblical Law.

Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. -1 Samuel 15:3

1 Samuel 15:3 starts with one word: NOW. What would have happened if Samuel had said to God "Sorry, I'd love to murder civiians and murder their wives and pull the babies off their mothers teats and murder them too, I really, honestly do want to murder every last puppy and kitten in the whole city, I just can't do it NOW, because of the "cooling off" period...."

Just read a few more lines down:

Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the Lord..." -1 Samuel 15:19

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
--1 Samuel 15:23

Failure to obey God = WITCHCRAFT.

Both Witchcraft and idolatry are death penalty offences under Biblical Law. So immediate, heat-of-the-moment access to guns is literally kill-or-be-killed - it's either death by crimigant/Obamas jackbooted thugs, or death by God Himself.

4. God prefers to kill people 42 at a time. Mag-size limits are designed to offend Him.

Imagine yourself in this situation: you're walking along, minding your own business, when a bunch of children start laughing at your bald head. What do you do? What do you do?

You might be thinking "What Would Jesus Do", but if there's a ban on high-capacity magazines, you won't be able to do it. Read 2 Kings 2:23-24:

And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.


Now, I can't count how many times I've prayed for God send bears to tear this or that group of uppity children into bloody little chunks. The main reason it's not happened is because they're aren't as many bears any more. I think the next time God decides to set a bloody example to show who's boss, He'll need a man-made solution. That's how the Holy Spirit moves me, when I speak to Him in prayer and contemplation.

Anyway, the point I'm making is that when God kills he wants it messy and in large numbers. What Would Jesus Do at the gun store? Jesus would buy hollow-point ammo, in 30-round clips, or more. After all, having to work a bolt-action would have given those kids enough time to start zig-zagging, and having to switch mags would have given them enough time to run to cover or concealment. Then they'll be back the next day, mocking both your bald head AND and slow killing rate of your firearm.

I have the feeling that you people are not unintelligent by any means, I just feel like you're being close minded on a whole new level. I'm actually impressed. 'Obama just wants to take our guns away so that we are defenseless to terrorism' is one of the most cliché lines out there but it's being said here, and in all seriousness too. Or taking bible stories and completely ripping them out of context for your own agressive, mean-spirited politics.

Well, if it is so common, then it has to have some truth to it, doesn't it?

Sweetheart, I want to reassure you that we take the Holy Bible very seriously. Please show me just one instance where we are "ripping" Bible stories "out of context."

And just what does the Bible tell them to do?

For example?

Please note: reading something differently from how you read something doesn't necessarily mean that the error is theirs.

I did the research, no surprise that the world's most religious nations are also the ones with the most machine guns:

Most machine guns per adult:

1. Yemen
2. Saudi Arabia
3. Iraq
4. Pakistan
5. Afganistan
6. USA

All of these nations are very devout, and the first 5 even have devout governments.
