Should guns be allowed to become Christians?

I say no. They'd jump up and start killing the gays and shellfish eaters with no intervention. By stoning, most likely.

I think any gun that takes Jesus as its savior and is baptized should be allowed the chance for God's grace. Plus, they could all then be beaten back into plow-shears.

I think guns are tools of the devil and should be stoned to death!

I don't know. The knives are Muslim, and would be offended if we didn't throw them a bone as well. I know, they can have God's grace by strapping on C4 and blowing up in people's kitchen drawers.

I don't think guns are inherently bad. I think society makes them that way.

You know guns are just compensating for their, um, shortcomings. If finding Christ will help them to deal with that in a more productive manner, then I'm all for it.

Why should guns be Christian, when bullets already are. Sowing seeds, and all, you know...

The guns didn't choose to be violent. That's how they were created, just the same way that teddy bears were created to be cuddled.

who are we to judge? how can one ask wether to allow a gun to be a religion? if a gun, or all guns choose to be christian, what business is it of ours? would you stop being a christian because you think the guns are ruining your religion?

Now, if Christian Guns started getting all up in my face, and knocking on my door trying to 'Save' me, then i've got a problem with it.

So ,I guess your question begs another question......but i'm falling asleep. so nevermind

If guns *were* Christian, would that mean that it was immoral for them to go off outside of a monogamous marital relationship?
