I see why they call it ‘belief’ net
This may be the dumbest list of supposed gun myths ever printed.

I love how the guy tells people who point out he’s wrong that they’re in denial.

“My response to this nonsense above is, I’d like to see you try and kill someone with a spoon!”
I’d like to see Rosie O’Donnell eat a gun to get fat.

…eat WITH a gun…

And he accuses one of the commenters (j dalco) of being in denial of the facts! Mr. Pot, please meet Mr. Kettle.

Personally, The guy isn’t worth the time to educate. He obviously doesn’t have any understanding and doesn’t care to get one.

I work with a guy who believes all that crap. Sad thing is his daughter does too and teaches grade school in Murfreesboro. No wonder kids today are screwed up.

Oh, brother. I only read the first few lines so far and I can tell this is going to be a doozy.
I was just saying to a fellow Christian friend of mine recently that I really don’t get anti-gun Christians. The pastor we had when I started going to my current church was as die hard about guns as me. Our current pastor, not so much. He’s not anti-gun, but the stark contrast I’ve seen between him and the previous pastor got me thinking and I said to my friend that if our pastor made a rule that would couldn’t be armed in church…I would find another church.
I do not believe Christ only wanted us to be spiritually free. (And there are plenty of verses to support the idea of self-defense.) And based on that, it would be inconsistent to believe he wanted us to reject the tools to remain free.

My dad was a pastor. His favorite story to tell me (and he tells me it all the time) is about how he learned to kill a guy with a car antenna and other improvised weapons in the Navy. The revolver he kept under the seat of his car was not just for dispatching wounded animals.
Most modern translations use “murder” instead of “kill”, except for King James. It would be hilarious if God told people the number one commandment was not to kill and then set them about tearing around killing every tribe in the promised land.
The book of Judges is filled with stories of God commanding some, usually unlikely dude/chick, to rise up and do some righteous smiting.
And I wonder why Jesus told the apostles to take a sword with them? I don’t think it was to do circumcisions.
Some biblical scholar.

That idiot isn’t worth the trouble of educating; it wouldn’t take.

He appears to be having his arse handed to him in the comments – it will be interesting to see if a version of “Reasoned Discourse” will break out soon.

Wow. That was an astonishing list of stupid compiled on one page. I don’t think there was a single “fact” in the whole post.
Trackerk, well said.

The excessive use of exclamations was almost as offensive as the general level of stupidity.

Im probably not smart enough to be writing comments, but I left this one over there at that article:
“I quit the United Methodist Church over their unflexible and unreasonable stand on gun control. How does this help either me or the Church? First you have got to be free, and then you can think about religion. Cause if you aint free, you wont be allowed to have religion. For the simple minded, I put freedom and a free country ahead of organized religion. Way ahead. I am walking the earth a free man in the state of Tennessee, and will do so until I die. Take my guns? Uhh, no! PS: In your spare time, go look up how many people on this earth were murdered by their own governments in the last century. Go ahead. Now why dont you go work on that and leave free Americans alone…”

Very sad to see such an intelligent and articulate man such as Ben Witherington spew out such poorly reasoned drivel. He really is a giant in Biblical studies, but apparently has not taken such effort to research firearms. Goes to show, that even experts in one field can be fools in another.

Wow. I don’t know what to say about this guy.

I’m an atheist myself, but I posted the following,
“God gave you the greatest of all: your life. To not defend it in the face of evil is criminal.”

From his writing on this topic he’s not much of a biblical scholar. Any theologan who bothered to study biblical writings and their history would know the proper translation is thou shalt not murder. Along with terrible cherry-picking within the new testament, leaving out trading cloak for a sword and Christ not coming to replace old covenants, etc, his theology is the typical find the stuff he likes/comfortable to live with and ignore the rest.

Oh, yes, Ben Witherington III. I remember getting into a comment thread debate with him about guns years ago. He wouldn’t take my comments out of moderation. He also argued that “facts” and “statistics” support his claim, but wouldn’t provide any.
