He'd give away guns at a church raffle, apparently.

This part is funny: "We're doing two things here. One, we're going to talk about the Second Amendment to bear arms. But that isn't the primary thing," Keele says. "The primary thing is who Jesus is."

Shit like this is one of many reasons I can't stand that churches qualify as tax-exempt organizations. This should be considered political advocacy, and that church should have to pay taxes on the money it makes from tom fuckery like this.

I noticed someone in the comments quoted this and then wrote "I'm going to laugh myself to death." Ha!

What is wrong with people? Sometimes I really wish I wasn't a human.

this is the best part: "While deer rifles are the big draw here, there are Bibles available, too. They're stacked up on tables by the stage. Some even come with waterproof pages and camo covers. Unlike the guns, the Bibles aren't free — they're for sale.

The best part about Kentucky churches and this type of behavior?  The churches here have their picnics and they all involve booze and gambling.  It's pretty great.  Even during lent the Friday Fish Fry's have beer.  My Old Kentucky home ya'll...

Yeah, but that's only the Catholic churches, where alcohol isn't a sin. I'm pretty sure there was no beer at this Southern Baptist gun free for all. Not that I give two shits about either religion. They all pick and choose from the Bible for convenience, they just pick and choose different things sometimes. 

Also, your comment makes me feel like you must live in Louisville? 

Eta: You don't have to answer that, I just live there, and there are 8.5 million fish fries per weekend.
