Control Yourself. Control Yourself. Stop Killing People! Stop Killing People!

Another religious personage (Kidding! It's just grifter Tony Perkins scaring the pants off the rubes.) weighs in on control issues:

Keep your guns in your pants!
Just say no to drugs & murder!

If Congress wants to stop these tragedies, then it has to address the government's own hostility to the institution of the family and organizations that can address the real problem: the human heart. As I've said before, America doesn't need gun control, it needs self-control. And a Congress that actively discourages it--through abortion, family breakdown, sexual liberalism, or religious hostility--is only compounding the problem.

A short & slippery slope from sexual liberalism to mass murder, & the line from one to the other is crystal clear.

Of course, some will say--and I agree--that transforming the culture is the church's job. But that doesn't mean that there isn't a place at the table for Christians in the gun debate. Not only did Jesus tolerate weapons, he instructed His disciples to buy them! In Luke 22:36, we read, "He said to them... if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one." Jesus did rebuke Peter for being too quick on the draw (John 18:11), recognizing that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal-but spiritual.

Will the blatantly hypocritical Perkins ever remove his head from his ass, wipe the shit from his eyelids & realize there's not a hair's breadth of daylight between his Jesus-oriented religious foolishness & that of someone who murders & maims in the name of Mohammedan values & self-control? Of course not; that would imply honesty & positive values on Preacher Perkins' part, but his concerns start & end w/ "If it works for the Taliban it'll work for the Family Research Council, right Jesus?"
