Thy will be gun

If you get offended at being offended, or would never visit my blog again if I included a video clip that contained the F word then please stop reading, ignore this post, and come back next week - and whatever you do, do not play the following video.

A friend of mine on Facebook had a link to this clip - with similar warnings to the ones above. It is a short extract from an American TV programme 'Real Time with Bill Maher' on HBO. It is a thought provoking (and potentially offensive) reaction, by someone who is not a Christian, to the reaction of some Christians to the killing of Osama Bin Laden.

If you are offended - sorry - but you have been warned.

Do you think it was right to kill OBL?

I made it to 2min 57sec before switching it off!

Do I think it was right to kill him?

The video highlights a number of Jesus' commands that would, if taken at face value, clearly suggest that it was not something that a follower of Jesus should do.

Would I be prepared to personally pull the trigger?

And if it's wrong for me to do it, can it be right to expect someone else to do it on my behalf?
