Interesting article and argument, what do you think?[/b]
Tim Donnelly, Republican Legislator, Says Guns Are 'Essential To Living The Way God Intended'18 January 2013 The Huffington Post A California Republican legislator, who is a vocal opponent of President Barack Obama's gun control proposal, believes that guns are "essential to living the way God intended." Assemblyman Tim Donnelly called in to the AM740 KBRITE Christian radio show, "The Bottom Line," to discuss gun control on Wednesday, when he revealed that he believes firearms are part of God's plan.

I've learned to be suspicious of Matt's "links". Why not reproduce the whole article, Matt? Y'know, like the bit from Isaiah about turning swords into ploughshares? They use the US spelling in the original. And ... oh yeah! ... there's that bit about the petition from all those clergymen asking Congress to pass gun laws.
You're channelling "Tea Party" stuff again, Matt which is "OMG God-is-so-Awesome, Guns-R-Us and Taxes Suck Big Time".
You're probably more of a lefty than you realise on tax, but you're 100% Tea Party on the "OMG" bit and the "Guns-R-Us" drivel.
You really need to take a break from all this far right US crap and broaden your sources of information.

Where in the Bible does God mention guns?

God hates guns probably more than I do. Wankers will use any excuse to justify them.

Gods murdered a lot of people in his time, I don't see why he wouldn't get a laugh out of the occasional gun massacre.

Yes God started the ball rolling on the creation of man but also gave man free will, the gift of choice.....what we have done with that gift is our fault, not his. FFS, take responsibility for your own shit and stop trying to lay the blame elsewhere.

You really need to take a break from all this far right US crap and broaden your sources of information. Because I am using the mobile version, as I am on my mobile. Without a mouse it is hard to copy and paste everything. Plus, it is illegal to post full articles. It is the Huffington Post, one of the most leftist online rags around (owned by AOL). I am Surprised you don't know what it is. Finally, I have never posted a malicious link in my life. You don't have evidence of it because it has never happened. You give me too much credit though, computer science isn't something I have studied. My degree is from the Faculty of Arts, I studied communication, and not the electronic variety. Ever wonder why I write in the style of "one sentence, one paragraph"? |

Well before guns back in the ol' biblical day's of yore they had staffs as weapons of mass desrtuction, and Moses had the biggest staff so was the biggets mass destructioner, and why he was cock of the dung heap....and 'In God We Trust'...to have weapons of mass destruction to kill muslims and school kids.

FFS, take responsibility for your own shit and stop trying to lay the blame elsewhere. I do take responsibility for what I do. But if you think that God started everything, including giving man "free will", then anything that goes wrong really is God's fault, isn't it? If he really cared about mankind, he wouldn't have given us something as sill as "free will". So, is it God's fault or does he just not care? Or, as us real free thinkers believe, he doesn't exist. |
