Conservative Christians and Guns
I saw a political advertisement for an Arizona congressional candidate, Pamela Gorman. It bothered me to see her standing in the country side firing a pistol of some type and also what looks like a machine gun. The advertisement ended with the statement, Conservative Christian. What is the deal with Conservative Christian's and guns especially in a state with a problem with illegal immigration? I don't get the connection, Conservative=Christian=Guns. I'm sorry but this is a contradiction to me and I don't know what they have in common. When I think of a Christian, I think about my grandmother who fed strangers which came to her door, and she sure didn't answer it with a six shooter stuck in her apron band. Conservatives today seem full of anger and even hate at times and it is frightening especially when they openly post advertisements for a political postion firing guns.

Good point. They have almost made it as if to be a christian you have to be consevative.
ReplyDeleteYes, and it's a further attempt at destroying the concept of separation of church and state, run on religious ideoly. I would rather be a liberal who has sympathy for the less fortunate and compassion in my heart.
