Doug,

I agree with your assertion in part. I understand that many Christians feel that the larger society is being indoctrinated against them. I also think you and I could identify many of the same cases involving homicidal violence at churches. However, the Christian faith is not the only one in the United States to have its institutions targeted by violence. If one is to support the notion of a Christian pastor being armed to defend his congregants, must he also support the 2nd Amendment rights of those from other faiths? Here is some info on incidents of violence at institutions of various religious groups.

Phoenix area mass killing at a Buddhist temple:

arson attacks on NYC Islamic centers:

My initial Google search failed to locate any information on fatal incidents at Islamic centers within the US, but a number of arsons and attempted bombings have occurred. It is only a matter of time before a fatal act of violence is directed at a Muslim institution.

well-known attack on a Jewish community center:

Bear in mind that the examples I have cited only occurred in the United States. One can find countless other stories of attacks on places of worship belonging to all faiths all over the world.
