Florida House Approves Bill to Post In God We Trust signs in all public schools

And now this:
Florida lawmakers rejected a motion to bring an assault weapons ban to a vote Tuesday. Guess what they did do: the Florida House approved a bill to post In God We Trust signs in all public schools. I am utterly confused. Utterly.

At Grace (Community Boston) we are a committed group of Jesus followers. Since Sandy Hook we’ve been desperately advocating for common sense gun laws and banning assault weapons. We’ve created public awareness campaigns (like the one we are doing now. Lawn signs. If you are in the Boston area and would like one, ping me), written letters, and made it clear to everyone and anyone who would listen that Gun Violence is a christian justice issue! At Grace we are not advocating for a ban on assault weapons because we are a bunch of hippie freak Massachusetts liberals. We are advocating for a ban because we are Christians.

And now this? The Florida legislature thinks remaining silent on an assault weapons ban, but putting up signs about God every where is the Christian Response?!  I have some really choice expletives for you weak, wimpy, Jesus posers. Cowards. Read your bible!

I wrote the following in a blog dated from 11/9/17:

As a follower of Jesus, I believe the American Christian Church is a sponsor of terrorism for remaining deafeningly quiet on gun control. The Christian Church has loudly declared its concerns over unborn fetuses and led a successful campaign to limit women’s access to safe and affordable abortions. I am confident that the Church could lead as a successful campaign to mandate common sense gun control, but it hasn’t. In remaining quiet, the Christian Church has made it clear that the deaths of thousands are unimportant. Domestic terrorism is acceptable. And in doing so they embraced the irony that elementary students in Sandy Hook, CT matter less than unwanted fetuses.
​
As Christians, we cannot stay quiet. We must mobilize, less we become the church of guns. Signs in schools reminding students to trust God is the very definition of faith without works. If you want to follow Jesus, join the fight for gun control and pray with your vote. A sign will make no difference. If anything a trust God sign will make it clear to the students that we do not care.
