Since Guns and Religon seem (according to some) to be the prime hot topic these days on the boards.. why not just get everybody together to 'shoot it out' in one topic?. To kick things off, there's this lil gem...

Training the Murderers: Religious Nuts with Guns
Following the murder of abortionist Bernard Slepian in New York State last autumn, several pro-abortion lobbies and news organs issued press releases accusing the pro-life community of inciting people to criminal violence. The people at the National Abortion Federation should look into a mirror if they wonder where the violence is coming from. They have incidentally trained it in three ways.
First, they have relativised the Ten Commandments. They teach that "Thou shalt not murder" has exceptions. Apparently the man who shot Bernard Slepian agrees.
Second, they have propagated a perverse doctrine of moral equivalence. For years they have been saying that blocking the doors of abortion clinics is morally equivalent to violence. Apparently Eric Rudolph has concluded that "if blocking the doors is as bad as planting a bomb, then planting a bomb is no worse than blocking the doors."
Third, they have sought and obtained passage of legislation which gives sidewalk counseling a greater expectation of punishment than arson. The predictable result has occurred. Less sidewalk counseling, more arson.
Contrary to their protests, the abortion industry benefits from this state of affairs. It helps them in their drive to squelch the free speech rights of the pro-life movement, and it helps them embarrass Christians into silence. Therefore it is important to remember and proclaim that it is the abortion industry, not the church, which is training men to violence.
