Pastor Ken Pagano told parishioners to bring their unloaded guns to New Bethel Church in Louisville, Kentucky, reports the BBC.

He organised a service celebrating the right to bear arms after church members voiced fears President Obama could tighten gun control laws.

&quot;We are wanting to send a message that there are legal, civil, intelligent and law-abiding citizens who also own guns,&quot; Mr Pagano told the congregation.

&quot;If it were not for a deep-seated belief in the right to bear arms, this country would not be here today,&quot; he said.

Pastor Pagano also held a handgun raffle, as well as providing information on gun safety.

&quot;I wish more churches did this, I wish more people did this,&quot; the Louisville Courier-Journal quoted one attendee, Doreen Rogers, as saying.

&quot;For some reason, most people think that carrying guns is sinful. It's not. I think my life is worth protecting.&quot;

A coalition of religious groups and campaigners held a rival gun-free event at the same time on the other side of Louisville.

&quot;The idea of wearing guns to churches or any sacred space I think many people find deeply troubling,&quot; said organiser Terry Taylor.</div></div>

What a thing? If this catches on or start to spread, we may be in for &quot;Sunday Excitements&quot; in parts of America... I know it may sound alarmist but I would not put it past certain religious groups to <span style="font-weight: bold">reach for their guns if they think the sanctity of their churches are threatened.</span> Can it ever be contemplated that we could be afraid to attend our churches for fear of our lives?

A &quot;shootout&quot; within the walls of any church would be an affront to the principles of Christianity. Why would any pastor promotes the carrying of guns even without bullets into such places of worship if he believes in the teachings of Christ? ~ To my way of thinking, the IRA and the devil have to be partners in going after the churches...

Even so, you have to realized that what was posted carries a different message from <span style="font-weight: bold">vigilante gun justice</span> meted out to a doctor in church... Any pastor advocating carrying guns to church by his flock for whatever reason is crazy and would never get my support, moreso, those from the South who hates Obama or his policies...

Pastors will promote the carrying of guns into church simply becozz they are criminals...

If I am on the battlefield and under constant threat, because it is war...you bet I will be taking my guns to town, err church...

<span style="font-weight: bold">different times, call for different measures..</span> unfortunately...now will I shoot, that is another matter, or will I shoot first and ask kwestians later, still a different matter..

Actually the mega church that I visit in Brooklyn could be the scene of gunfire at anytime...God forbid...One of my kids is very active there, and I heard that they receive threats from all sorts of weirdos, and they have undercover police sprinkled among the congregation for protection...where shall *I* run tuh?

S. Patrick's Cathedral at 5th Ave, had been the scene of a murder, [robber killed woman while she was praying] I think they have plain clothes cops in the congregation at Mass as well...as I said, if it is a thing that I might come under attack, or even threatened, you bet your booty I'd take my gun[s] to town...err church...

As I said, desperate times call for desperate measures...wh would believe?

Whether 'all-white&quot; or &quot;all-black&quot; they all have their share of weirdos and fanatics.
