Pat Robertson: ‘Blessed Are The Fully Armed In Church"
- 5 years ago
V preacher Pat Robertson on Tuesday argued that more guns in churches was a “good idea” to protect Christians because “blessed are the fully armed.”
“It’s Sunday morning and they sing hymns and they praise the Lord and you listen to a sermon, good or bad, and you shake hands with your neighbors, and it seems like the one place in America you’d think you’d be safe: a church,” Robertson explained to 700 Club viewers. “But sadly, that isn’t always true.”
“Violent attacks and even deaths on church property occur far more often than people realize,” he continued. “The good news: you can protect yourself. What are you going to do? You going to give church members AK-47s at the door to let them blow away those intruders?”
After showing a report about how some churches were forming armed “eyes and ears teams” to watch for trouble during services, Robertson suggested an approach slightly more measured than giving the congregation military-style assault rifles.
