Lutherans. They're Such Butchers.
Iowahawk reports:
Kohut pointed to one of the study's key findings that only 29% of all respondents agreed that "bloody, random violence against infidels" was "always" or "frequently" justified, versus 56% who said such violence was "seldom" or "never" justified. The approval of violence rose slightly among younger Lutherans and when the hypothetical violence was targeted against Presbyterians, but still fell well short of a majority."The only demographic cohort we saw where murderous random violence had a majority support was among 18-35 year old male followers of the Wisconsin Synod," said Kohut. "And that was barely above the margin of error. Even then, fewer than half (41% to 46%) said they would personally volunteer to carry out the violence themselves."
Further bolstering the findings, Kohut noted that fewer than 6% of respondents physically attacked field interviewers during the survey.
So, nothing to worry about. Except for the Presbyterians, of course—but I'm not one of them, so all is well.
I called up Sean and asked him to read me the dialogue from Iowahawk's article, since I can't really do the accent myself. "Would you read this aloud—and Fargo it up for me, please?" I enquired.
He refused, so we aren't friends any more.
But now I find myself checking under my car for bombs every day. Young Lutheran males, you know . . .

First, I'm from Wiscaaansin not South Dakota.
Second, Lutherans got over Calvin and the Presbyterians centuries ago. We gave up on their messed up deal with pre-destination. Today, we even live nicely with the Catholics. We Missouri Synod Lutherans save our ire for ELCA, Lutheran In Name Only--LINO, and making sure the hymnal contains songs with tunes we can sing to.

They have to go through the metal detector first.

Okay, hardass: what is the difference between the MC-Ls and the Wisconsin Synod? Anything worth reporting?
And . . . metal detectors? What's happened to your faith?

About Joy W. McCann: I've been interviewed for Le Monde and mentioned on Fox News. I once did a segment for CNN on "Women and Guns," and this blog is periodically featured on the New York Times' blog list. My writing here has been quoted in California Lawyer. I've appeared on The Glenn and Helen Show. Oh—and Tammy Bruce once bought me breakfast.
My writing has appeared in The Noise, Handguns, Sports Afield, The American Spectator, and (it's a long story) L.A. Parent. This is my main blog, though I'm also an alumnus of Dean's World, and I help out on the weekends at Right Wing News.
My political philosophy is quite simple: I'm a classical liberal. In our Orwellian times, that makes me a conservative, though one of a decidedly libertarian bent.
