Pat Robertson, TV preacher and proud owner of a poorly calibrated moral compass, declared on Tuesday’s episode of “The 700 Club” that we should distribute guns to churches because “blessed are the fully armed.”Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Matthew 26:52
“Violent attacks and even deaths on church property occur far more often than people realize,” he said. “The good news: You can protect yourself. What are you going to do, are you going to give church members AK-47s at the door to let them blow away those intruders?” No, probably not.
The show then aired a segment on “Eyes and Ears” teams, which are made up of members of the congregation, who serve shifts to watch out for any suspicious behavior.
“What is the new beatitude?” Robertson said cheerfully after the segment. “Blessed are the fully armed because theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.”
