Is that because he shot it with this gun?<BR/><BR/>Is this the same church that taped money under the seats and gave away a couple thousand dollars a few years ago? Or was that a different one? I know it was a Baptist church in that area. <BR/><BR/>And too bad for those Canadian kids coming down to win that gun. Since their country actually has decent laws about weapons they wouldn't be able to take it home even if they did win it.Dan Mayeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13668986265251047462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394606.post-33609069843618500162008-07-14T09:24:00.000-04:002008-07-14T09:24:00.000-04:00Hey Mark-<BR/><BR/>You know me and where I stand on shooting sports/hunting. I don't know anything about this event or church, but I don't see what's so wrong about having a shooting event/gun giveaway. I've been to a number of church-sponsored "wild game" or outdoor sporting events that have raffled off or given away guns as door prizes. <BR/><BR/>To throw out the "gun toting Jesus" idea (to say nothing of the photo you made) incites an image that I don't necessarily believe is what this church is going for. This kind of thing is more common and WAY less controversial than you think. <BR/><BR/>By the way, the term "semi-automatic assault rifle" is one of the most blown out of proportion and inciteful terms of all time. My winchester 30.06 hunting rifle fits that bill. <BR/><BR/>DClarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394606.post-23323126001317557842008-07-14T00:21:00.000-04:002008-07-14T00:21:00.000-04:00are you familiar with this church at all? i am and it is not too surprising. i think the same guy who couldnt attend was on tv a couple years back refuting some strange allegations. interesting place. they have a bible college as well. it is not too shocking coming from that church and its affiliates.jeremy grahamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394606.post-10064444516028405122008-07-13T07:55:00.000-04:002008-07-13T07:55:00.000-04:00I have considerably less problem with the gun than I have with the "event evangelism."Dan Padenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14366893048089380061noreply@blogger.com
