Love Thy Rapist as Thyself

Texas Church Tries Guns for Roses on Valentines

It's Valentine's Day Texas style and a church in Dallas wants people to show their love by giving up their guns.


And, this is considered "Texas style"? They must be referring to a different Texas, located in some kind of parallel universe, of which I am not aware. This sounds much more like "Massachusetts style" or"Chicago style" to me.

"We are not trying to disarm Cupid of his bow and arrow, but provide another meaningful opportunity for individuals to show their affection for their families by making their homes safe this Valentine's Day," said Bruce Buchanan, a pastor at the church.


For whom, exactly, are we supposed to be making our homes safe?

The Valentine's Day celebration will be overseen by armed police.


By their own logic, wouldn't this make their gun buyback program less safe? Won't they Think Of The ChildrenTM???
