Pastor deflects four rounds with a bible before being gunned down

[Araelus]

That is why the church wants to ban questionable books and comics and TV and Video games.

Little do they realize that prohibiting something makes people desire it more. Should let folks make up their own minds.

[Headspace]

Nah man, that's free will. God hates free will.

[Gregorio]

Nah man, that's free will. God hates free will.

haven't you ever seen Bruce Almighty? God never messes with free will, he said it himself.

God: Bender, being God isn't easy. If you do too much, people get dependent on you, and if you do nothing, they lose hope. You have to use a light touch. Like a safecracker, or a pickpocket.

Bender: Or a guy who burns down a bar for the insurance money!

God: Yes, if you make it look like an electrical thing. When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

ITT: Commentary on the human condition - someone gets murdered and people laugh because ...they disagree with his views?

I really don't think it has anything to do with his views, or really, even that he happened to be a religious man. First, BG will find a joke anywhere, and second, it's too easy to find a joke about a man deflecting bullets with a book.

To be fair, I was half expecting to see a link to Nine Shot Sonata.

If the gunman had fired four more rounds, perhaps someone would have. But alas, there were only five. The first four that the pastor deflected, and the fatal fifth shot.

I had this image of a Pastor going into bullet time and was like "fuck yeah!"

I saw the same, except with Trinity from the Matrix saying "you moved like they do", and the Pastor saying "whoa" then getting shot.

It totally happened like this:

Although a little more awesome and there was definitely a bullet time sequence.

I'm sorry in advance and sorry for that pastor but... ^^^^^ I laughed so hard.

Edit: If he survived he woulda killed hella vampires... with his bare hands.

ITT: Too many intrawebs cool kids.

Eh laughing @ someone's death is fucked up, irregardless if they was religious or fill in the blank.

Glad to hear someone else say this.

On the topic of badass pastors, anyone else here read

It was hilarious?

Considering the parody of Neosutra and my own usual arguments, yes, it was humorous to at least me. If only pancakes and waffles were all we didn't see eye to eye on (not that waffles aren't great on their own =P).

I'm betting the pastor slept with this guys wife or something. Anointed behind his back? If he'd lived this probably would have topped the shoe tossing incident.

Almost as badass as this guy:

"Why did that Bible deflect so many bullets?"
"Because it's full of mercy."

*Ahem*

Really?

they have compassion for the greyhound decapitator though.

I don't think he collected enough hearts before his sermon or else he would have unleashed that Bible-Beam attack after the first moment of danger.

[Mizango]

Sweet! I'm an E-cool kid. The laughable part is what his faith did to save him or warn him of his impending demise.

[Jaybar]

I didn't know faith can tell you the future. Try harder Miz!

inb4 it didn't save Jesus.

[Mizango]

Of course it does!

"Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." - Luke 10:19

[Jaybar]

Serpents and scorpions are metaphors for women. It still doesn't work though.

[Mizango]

Bitches are evil though.

[Seraph]

I don't care who you are, blocking four bullets with a fricken book is badass. I wonder if he just missed deflecting the fifth, or if the book finally fell apart. :-/
