(Which is also very large, which would also be a valid reason for armed guards. )

Yeah, it's not a small church at all. In fact I'm pretty sure it's the same church Ted Haggard pastored at. The main sanctuary seats 7,500.

I thought it was pretty obvious in the first place that marcus was joking.

Jesus.

Wait wait wait. Since when are you back?

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

I think what we're really trying to say here is, people in churches aren't worth saving.

I don't know where you live (I'm going to assume not America) because most people are allowed to carry any concealable, non pistol weapon as a means of self defense.

Nope. I'm talking about when I'm standing watch in port.

I don't get ANYTHING, and most merchant seamen DONT GET ANYTHING. The ones that do are on military contracted ships that say if you HAVE to use a weapon you can't fire on foreign soil and when the situation actually meets all of the requirements to use the weapon you're legally on your own afterwards.

Its kind of bullshit that in the states you can carry around a fucking armada of concealed weaponry but when you're standing on a tanker filled with liquid natural gas and you're supposed to be guarding it from anyone dangerous all you've got is a radio...

I get where you guys are coming from, but A CHURCH is not a place that really needs that sort of security.

Yeah some lunatic armed himself and went to town on two of them, but when something like that happens you CALL THE FUCKING COPS and have them guard the building. Not some Ex-cop zealot that swore jesus spoke to her the morning that she pumped lead into some crazy man with a gun.

Um, no.
1) They received a specific threat.
2) They got armed guards on their property to deal with the specific threat.
3) The threat was realized.
4) The situation was mitigated by the security they hired to deal with the threat.

You're just being stupid at this point. I think it was explained well enough that anyone who doesn't get why this particular church needed security is just plain retarded.
Not to mention most churches enjoy tax exempt status so if they're willing to hire armed guards rather than mooch off the policemen that taxpayers pay for there really shouldn't be a problem with that!

Those who can, pay. Those who can't, delay.
