Jesus's firearm preference.

Some say it was Glock, some say a SIG Sauer, others a Walther.


But I think he was a rifleman.




This is a wonderful thread with a lot of enlightened folks' comments.

But sadly, you guys and gals are rather atypical, in the good 'ole USA.

In America, it seems Jesus can be anything people want him to be.
Perhaps it depends on the nature of a person's "personal relationship" with Him.

Popular quotes in some sections of American Christianity:

[Matthew 10:34] Think not that I am come to send peace on earth;
I came not to send peace, but a sword. -- Jesus

["Boom! Ryan in Pa.: ‘I’m a Catholic deer hunter.
I’m happy to be clinging to my guns and religion’ "]

I won't go on, but I could, indefinitely.

Talk about an enigma.



Tea! Tea! I must have tea!
