For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Oh yeah, that is DEFINITELY a message which is made more powerful when welded onto a giant metal gun.
Update: Well it looks like the mailbox is absolutely real, but Biblical references are not.
Still quite disturbing but not as religiously offensive as first thought.
How would YOU like to be the mailman who has to deliver this guys mail?
.
Is that thing real?? I'd not want to be their postman.
ReplyDeleteThat is truly obscene.
ReplyDeleteRight wingnuts, clinging to their guns and their Bibles.
ReplyDeleteRemember folks... no one expects the Spanish inquisition

ReplyDeletethe sayings are photoshopped on, the gun is a real mailbox.
There's a belief system out there that mixes prideful self-defense with the gospel. When it began, who knows? Sometimes the Gospel message doesn't 'take' in one's heart. Some people need to feel justified, and take on 'religion' to justify their unrepentant issues, like feeling defensive and victimized if anyone goes near their properties, or their material goods. And we know the bible teaches to lay up one's 'goods' or treasures in heaven, not on earth.
ReplyDeleteThis is a contradiction to what the Bible teaches; to lay down our weapons because our warfare is spiritual, not physical. Also, an old verse, 'he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword' and many more examples in the NT of how an attitude in a new life with Christ gives up the need for swift justice and revenge. A new heart doesn't glorify a weapon.
Just another example of how men can go off the beaten path and try to change something into their image.
There was a guy in my town who had a cute little blue cannon in his front lawn that he pointed right at the road. He was always angry that the town had built a mall and his once quiet road became very busy (especially when they also zoned for a soccer complex directly across the road.) I was always creeped out by it..but this far worse. I think the owner has a teeny tiny peepee, but damn, he's going to have his 2nd amendment and God approves!! (Or does he think Jesus was shot?)
ReplyDeleteYou obviously don't recognize an oxymoron when it jumps up and shoots you in the face! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhere is this? I'd love to repost it giving you credit but am loath to do without the source. I've been burned by hoaxes before. I don't doubt it just need assurance.
ReplyDeleteWhy does religion, of any persuasion, seem to bring out the violent radicals? That mailbox is an eyesore, looks like something Nugent or Palin would love to have. Love of guns, violence and killing seems to be prevalent in religious NUTS. No wonder people overseas are afraid of the US, and are trying (with the help of repubs) to destroy this country. Foreigners must think we are all violent, gun loving extremists when they see photos like this.
ReplyDeleteJesus saves, so that you may be gunned down for stepping on that man's property. . .
ReplyDeleteThey keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.
ReplyDeleteSee also 'socialism', 'facism', 'communism', 'pro-life', 'family values', etc., etc.
Bizarre, but still art or a sculpture.
ReplyDeleteMuch ado about nothing, IMHO.
Hmmmmmmm really Gryphen? There you go again, attacking good ril fly-over god-lovin country folk who honor our fundamental right to bear arms through that which is Americana.
ReplyDeleteThe good news, Christian youth rejecting the extremist hate rhetoric:

The own must have a very tiny dick.
ReplyDeleteYep, the bigger the gun, the smaller the junk.
DeleteRegardless of whether or not the photo is a fraud, such displays would not surprise me in the least.
ReplyDeleteTexas?
ReplyDeleteFor God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten gun.
