Yeah.

According to norwegian media he evidently tried to protect himself with his bible, but it didnt protect for shit.

I'm as baffled as you. Now there's no more reason to have one.

[emasame]

its a lengthy book.
it must have some weight. im sure it would function as a good blunt weapon.

put an iron binding on it and you could do some serious damage

Just opening it seems to have caused enough damage imo..

[Delwyn]

Still wouldn't be worth shit against a gun...

[toros]

Or, if you like scary stuff, you can read it.

And then realize many people take it literally...

A good debate would be which is more frightening.

Never bring a bible to a gunfight?

[Charlie9]

They said the first bullet hit the bible and was not fatal, they didn't say if any other bullets hit the bible, they also said the guy started stabbing him after the gun stopped working, talk about psycotic.

this explains it:
“Our great God is not surprised by this, or anything,” Nate Adams, executive director of the Baptist association, said in a statement. “That he allows evil and free will to have their way in tragedies like this is a mystery in many ways.”

God's more mysterious then Obama's political positions in the elections.

The police said Mr. Winters deflected the first of the gunman’s four rounds with a Bible, sending a confetti-like spray of paper into the air.

Correction, as long as the assailant does not fire more then one round a bible is great for protection.

[Silverhandorder]

The pastor didn't invoke Jesus powers cuss he wanted to be with god. That's like suicide without the punishment.

[Kelt]

Wow four rounds? the pastor should have summouned the power of gawd and shot a magic missile at the attacker.

[JUAN_LOVE]

Was he catholic?

Actually, I read on yahoo news that the bible protected him from the first four rounds.

[Weeking]

Obviously self defense as he was threatening with eternal punishment in hell and whatnot.

Thread.

He like trained on Counter Strike.

Catholics don't have Pastors, It was a Baptist

A person from his congregation that was in the church at the time said the Pastor just said "Can I help you?" sad, but I'm still waiting for the police to release the reason why the man went crazy

[Nehemia]

Atheism, taken to a whole another level.

In Finland, we only have holy alcohol.

hmm tell this my katholic pastor as i was young sure do they have pastors
and good that i have nothing to do with them anymore

[Marrik]

he should have had a hollow bible with a gun in it, theres probably a snappy 1 liner in there somewhere too after blowing away the gunman.



and to the guy above me: im pretty sure that Catholics call them priests, instead of pastors

Doesn't really help if the fifth kills you, now does it?

However, maybe it works if you have several bibles. One for each bullet.

he was a failure of a man if he only had 1 bible with him at the time anyways.

Perhaps he should have worn a suit of holy bibles.
