Gravatar Not every Christian denomination is pacifist.

So it's the Nine Commandments, then?

Gravatar that is pretty cool!


Gravatar So it's the Nine Commandments, then?

Touche!


Gravatar From Psalms 75, the page to which the bible with the bullet cross picture is set:

But God is the judge:

he putteth down one, and setteth up another.


That's verse 7 and it seems to contradict praising with bullets. Then there's verse 10:

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off;

Got to love the clear, unambiguous word of god. (no, I will not capitalize god or in any other way honor that mythology.)


Gravatar I think banning the "mentally ill" from buying weapons is incredibly problematic, since as a group they are stigmatized enough anyway which keeps people from seeking out services they could otherwise use. Theoretically the mentally ill ought to have as much right to self-protection as anyone else. Besides the fact that diagnoses tend to fall heavily along racial and socioeconomic lines. I think guns in bars, on the other hand, is just royally dumb. I know I've done enough stupid things while I've been drunk and around other people that having a gun and being drunk around other people seems like a patently bad idea.


Gravatar Eric, I'm glad you took the time to investigate that because I was tempted.

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off.

Another reason to praise the bible. I wonder how many references there are to "horns" and "wicked." Damn those were the good ole days for sure!


Gravatar i would imagine that being a legal, voting resident of texas would qualify one as legally insane.

rick perry's in his second fucking term.

the prosecution rests yo.


Gravatar p.s.

after the netroots thing i am of half a mind (all that's left after 35 years of rock and roll) to use my 30 day amtrak pass to amble my way across the nation...30 day pass was cheaper than a roundtrip to pittsburgh.

Gravatar if i stopped in austin you wanna grab some enchiladas?
