Psalm 144 1
Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.

You get the idea … many more scriptural references to God and his/ her angels loving peace than being mindless war mongers or gun fetishists …

Saint Augustine (4th century saint, first author of an autobiography, and most importantly, originator of Just War Theory that was later refined by St Thomas Aquinas and used by Western military for many centuries), would be rolling in his grave at the way Republicans and NRA have misappropriated biblical scripture for unholy purposes that justify cruel and reckless gun violence.[/quote]
