Good News, Tucson!

Um, thank you?  I don’t even really know what this magazine is specifically about, but it poses the question, “What is happening to PASTORS?”

I am not sure, but judging by the photo it probably involves a rifle and a clocktower.  Not sure if it’s the PASTOR giving or receiving the lead host, but I am intrigued either way.  I have been fairly vocal about my dislike and distrust of organized religion, but I am pretty sure that nowhere in my Catholic school education do I recall any verses to the effect of, “the armed shall inherit the Earth” or “that whosoever packeth in his name shall not perish, but have  life everlasting.”

What church is this?

The other part of this equation that confuses me is the title of the magazine juxtaposed with the picture.  It reminds me of an ad in a National Lampoon book that showed a picture of a rifle and the tagline, “SURPRISE HIM THIS CHRISTMAS!”  I guess so.

I’d really hate to see the cover of “Bad News, Tucson.”  I guess I should actually read the article.

When you saw only one set of footprints in the sand, they were your own.  I was carrying this gun.

Amen.
