Through worship, rap and the spoken word the conference, held at Philadelphia Mennonite School, delivered a Christian message of peace, urging participants to 'pack the peace of Christ', instead of a gun.I don't care if they dance through life with eyes closed and arms upraised singing "Kumbaya," but they then go on to advocate a host of citizen disarmament edicts, that is, imposing their "religion" on the rest of us--under force of state arms.
In the words of a 1747 Philadelphia sermon:
"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 [it]self."These fools can self-murder all they want and I won't force my will on them--just leave me and mine out of the equation.
I'm also reminded of a Woody Allen line:
"The lion will lie down with the lamb, but the lamb won’t get much sleep."
