The Virginia State Senate passed a bill this week allowing citizens to bring their guns to church.
Because when it’s their lives on the line, thoughts and prayers suddenly seem useless. So does trusting God, apparently.
The bill passed on a strict party-line vote, 21-19.

The Virginia State Senate passed a bill this week allowing citizens to bring their guns to church.
Because when it’s their lives on the line, thoughts and prayers suddenly seem useless. So does trusting God, apparently.
The bill passed on a strict party-line vote, 21-19.
Before the vote, the Senate engaged in an extended debate. Republicans argued that individual churches should decide if they want guns in their pews, while Democrats warned that worshippers could wind up victimized with their own guns. Then came a spin-off debate over [the claim] claim that worshipping while armed belies a lack of faith.
“We … foolishly took prayer out of schools … and now we want to take God out of church,” [Democratic Sen. Lionell] Spruill said. “If there’s anywhere you can trust God, it should be the church. Let’s depend on God on this one. Let’s not take God out of church.”
