Guns and Christianity

Herschel notes one who does not understand and appears to have far to go before he will. [More]

A 1747 Philadelphia sermon comes to mind:
"He that suffers his life to be taken from him by one who has no authority for that purpose, when he might preserve it by defense, incurs the Guilt of self murder since God has enjoined him to seek the continuance of his life, and Nature itself teaches every creature to defend itself."

Anyone else get a security warning from that link to Captains Journal?

Yea. It's happening because of the content. Google doesn't like it because of Islamaphobia, or some such nonsense. Matt Bracken linked this piece via Twitter and it was immediately banned. It doesn't happen because of the site, but because Google has flagged it.

Comment held pending clarification. It appears to be anonymously insulting a friend of mine, and I don't permit such attacks here because they are without honor.

If I have misjudged intent, feel free to identify yourself via email and explain.
