(Slick Willie did this on numerous occasions too, usually while appearing at some church or another for a campaign shot.) I'm thinking that this could be the REASON they want it removed...weaken their opponents? (As if we'd all just stop going to Sunday school or reading the Bible ourselves.) Come to think of it, with liberal 'education' policies, a hell of a lot of people CAN'T read....

Vikings didn't have any qualms about being armed. Regards, Rabbit. Makes me glad I consider myself a Norse pagan. Vikings didn’t have any qualms about being armed.

She turned Paul's message on its head. She might do well to heed <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=rev%2022:18;&version=49;" rel="nofollow">Revelation 22:18</a>. But I find that her sort of 'Christian' tends to base their beliefs on what they feel Jesus would say, instead of what He actually did say. I had the exact same thought when I read that bit.

I dislike her post as well because it's a thinly disguised attempt, through word substitution in a Bible verse, to create the impression that Paul would have said that firearms are bad. Is she now Paul's oracle on the planet, that she can place words that she thinks he might have said, therefore attributing her ideology to Paul through supposition? It's the Biblical equivalent of Mad Libs. All you need is a noun and a verb denoting an action for that noun: “[NOUN, plural] will not commend us to God…Take care lest this liberty of yours somehow become a stumbling block to another…If [NOUN, plural] are the cause of my brother’s falling, I will not [VERB] a [NOUN, singular] lest I cause my brother to fall.” Some fun examples: Noun = "blog", Verb = "write" Noun = "flower", Verb = "plant" Noun = "swimming pool", Verb = "build" Noun = "car", Verb = "drive" See? They all make sense (as many things do not commend us to God and can cause my brother to fall), but *Paul didn't say them.* Excellent points Caleb, well worth the read.
