re read the lyrics please i was refering to the stars as Guns. Just foget it,, im sure youve just took me the wrong way its ok,, ive just over reacted myself to just forget it..

the imagination to sing songs about guns being stars and in the tempo of being burnt in the fire is also to help those not be afraid of fire or guns..

To see stars as Guns should help you to overcome the fear of Guns..

the tempo of and it burns burns burns the ring of fire sang with different lyrics to,, and they gun gun gun are stars of fire are stars of fire...

The biggest gunner being the alpha and omega star Jesus. who shoots his light everywhere like a gun.

Its my faulti should have explained i can see how you may have been offended by that song now sorry

Nah, not offended. I was just like, "Dude! This guy is WAY too big on guns! i'd be incredibly nervous if I lived anywhere around him." I got the impression you were disturbingly happy about guns.

It's cool though, now that I know what you're talking about.

the drama over alec Baldwin shooting has highlighted a few things about american gun culture

American/Hollywood action movies nearly always involve guns.

Other countries movies dont, for example Bollywood or Hong Kong movies usually involve dancing and singing or kung fu to solve problems respectively.

This isn't me being anti-firearms, but it's entirely possible God detests firearms given the amount of senseless violence, motivated by evil, that occurs as the result of them. Humans aren't good stewards of powerful weapons; we just destroy each other quickly and efficiently.

Don't want to put dislike on this, we need a disagree button CC.

Because a gun works and masks do not. A lot more evidence shows a gun works better at stopping a threat versus the evidence for a mask. Nehemiah trusted God but had his workers work with a sword in one hand and a tool in the other.

Actually I have to disagree about masks. It has been more than a year and a half now since I got so much as a common cold. I'm starting to love masks!

The question wasn't about which works better. The question is, why do you trust God to protect you in one case and not in another?

But nice dodge!

How is it a dodge? Your assuming antimaskers hold the idea that God will protect them from the virus. But when it comes to a gun they support self defense but ignore the idea that God should protect them as well if you follow that line of thinking.

Here is why this is not a dodge.

I believe God protects me within His will. But I also believe in free will so God can decide to protect me if J jump from a bridge or not.

So with that concept I am in many ways responsible for my life. As in if I eat too many cheeseburgers I may have a heart attack and die.

So using logic and facts to protect my life I need not to gain God's approval as I already see the issue of life being of great importance in scripture.

The facts show that guns work great against an intruder while mask do almost nothing against the Covid-19 virus.

masks are worn to protect others, not just yourself
there is a reason why doctors wear them when they perform surgeries.

guns arent used only for defence. They are also a weapon of attack.

like a double edged sword, though christians dont need to use carnal weapons so much as they need spiritual weapons (of prayer)

There is a reason why Jesus didnt raise an army or militant group when he was on earth. He wasnt a terrorist.
