Fundamentalist Windsor Baptist Church’s planned giveaway of an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle at a youth conference is putting Oklahoma back in the spotlight, nationally and internationally (making us all so very “proud”). The Register in the U.K. was the latest to pick up the story, although there article is a bit more snarky the most.

An Oklahoma baptist church has insisted it will proceed with its controversial plan to give away an AR-15 semiautomatic assault rifle* during a youth conference - a move described as “a way of trying to encourage young people to attend the event”, according to local [KOCO] 5 news.

Windsor Hills Baptist apparently has a history of worshipping God through firepower, and last year ran a shooting competition as part of its annual shindig. This year, it reportedly shelled out $800 for said trophy semi, but the church’s youth pastor, Bob Ross, claimed the main thrust of the conference wasn’t about guns but rather “teens finding faith”.

He stressed that the event featured 21 hours of preaching between bursts of gunfire, and defended: “I don’t want people thinking ‘My goodness, we’re putting a weapon in the hand of somebody that doesn’t respect it who are then going to go out and kill. That’s not at all what we’re trying to do.”

The article had a similarly snarky “bootnote”…

*AR-15? Pah. Authentic Children of Christ know that the AK-47 is the infidel-busting weapon of choice.

Even though the church announced previously that it cancelled the AR-15 giveaway after the “false statements” of local television station KOCO’s report, they have since decided to proceed with the shooting competition with the prize of a firearm, only now it will be a shotgun that’s been donated.

If Congress, back when our country was fighting for its independence could give engraved muskets to the fifteen or so eleven year old boys that their teacher, Mr. Akins, led into battle against the British, then we can give away a firearm still today, especially since our Supreme Court just re-emphasized our Second Amendment rights.

Yeah! So there! And to quote the late Jerry Falwell, “blow them all away in the name of the Lord.”

Thanks, Windsor Baptist Church, for making Oklahoma “shine” in the eyes of the world.

According to the pastor of Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona, what’s really wrong with America is that the men no longer “pisseth against the wall” — i.e. the men pee sitting down. While I think this pastor is speaking more figuratively than literally, his point is that men in America aren’t acting like real men, including most pastors in America, our leaders and the president of the United States himself. However, when it comes to Europe, he’s meaning literally as well as figuratively. He claims that in Germany, where his wife is from and where he lived for three months, there are signs in the restrooms forbidding men to literally pee while standing.

In this “insightful” video, the pastor expounds on the phrase, “him that pisseth against the wall” that is found six times in the King James Version — and only in the KJV. The poster of the video notes that “modern” versions of the Bible, including the New King James Version and my beloved NIV, “leave out this important phrase.” And we all know that the King James Version is the only true Word of God — [rolling eyes]… Continued
