CHRISTIANITY IN AMERICA: The Gospel with Guns

	Shoot 'em and save 'em
	Preach da gospel wid luv
	bud make shure ya got enuf
	ammunition ta giv
	infidels ah powerfool shove

	Send out messages ah peace
	bud keep a gud stockpile
	ah bombs'n killin' machines

	Be generous wid friends
	'n ruthless wid foes
	Make sure folks know
	Uncle Sam Decides What Goes

	If anyone grumbles
	gib dem a hush:
	Uncle Sam is Merciful –
	but terrorates
	so mushhh


Kris: Huh?? Is this Christianity or terrorism?

Tim:  Terrorism comes in the garb of every religion.

Kris: That's saddening. I thought that religion was all about peace.

Sam:  Too often, it's simply a way of persecuting those who disagree. . .
