Why do clerics opt for gun control over religion?

Because they have wrecked their brand through the perversion of those in authority. They can’t appeal through their original mission, and have to use cheap secular topics instead.

BTW, I’m not religious, and I usually don’t post on religion threads to minimize offense to true believers... but this wasn’t posted to “Religion.”

Because many churches have gone over to the Dark Side. I have had to quit two Methodist churches for political leanings by the preacher. The National Council of Churches is totally Left. IIRC, they were sending money to the Castro Regime for years.

My Baptist pastor doesn’t. He believes in CCW.

Maybe because its easier to arm teachers than it is to give them Bibles for their classrooms?

Because they’ve become “fundamentally transformed.” Instead of spreading the teachings of Jesus Christ, they’re now Social Justice Warriors. Whenever I hear the term “social justice,” I run for the exits.

One reaction I don’t understand is why clergy are not calling for more religion instead of more gun control.

Because they know their religion doesn't work.

Rabbi Jack Moline stated, “It is not mental health, age, wealth, educational opportunity or employment; it is guns.”

In your case rabbi it IS mental health and the guns you didn’t have in WW2 Europe. Schmuck.

Because many of them are liberals who have shipwrecked their faith. They are a huge part of the problem.

Religious leaders have failed.... they have become captives of the secular culture instead of pushing for a religious, faith-based society.

When God is absent from our lives, man can’t fix what makes the human heart go astray.

Go figure.

Gun control implies faith in government.

Because most of them are communist atheists who do not believe in God as we know him and consider dictators their new Gods?

Same reason pedophiles can so easily exist in the “church”. It ain’t a church of God, it’s a cult.

Our church is instituting a CCW policy. Trained teachers and pastors will be packing heat.

I am look for a new church and will find out the logical beliefs of the pastor before joining.

Are Baptists typically conservative?
