I never formally attended Vacation Bible School, but my house was across the street from the Lutheran church, so sometimes I was tempted. There were kids playing outside! They were playing a beanbag game! So I wandered over a few times, and I was encouraged by the sunday school to do so. Forgive me, for I sinned.
It was mostly harmless, I think — the theme was just to have fun while under the umbrella of the church. That’s all. I guess the church has gotten more aggressive nowadays.
In a bizarre, disturbing scene that’s gone viral on TikTok, a church appeared to stage a fake execution of a man—involving realistic-looking guns and military uniforms—during Vacation Bible School. As the man is being murdered, the children are cheering in unison, “Take him out! Blow him up!” The military men then take the body outside (and out of view), where it’s suggested by the pastor they’re going to “blow him up.”

It’s disturbing that children were not only watching this scene, they were encouraged to cheer on the players machine-gunning the victim. Is this where a faith centered on the public execution of a disruptor of the status quo leads us?
The preacher at that church rationalizes the scene by saying that murdered man represented sin or satan, so it was OK to kill them. I’m sure Jesus would agree that children should be taught to kill sinners. They deserve death, after all.
I wonder if this church teaches that LGBTQ+ people are sinners?
Remember kids, gun solve all your problems. Don’t need a trial. Just shoot the person you told was evil.
Imagine if they were Muslim.
Taking folks out back to be shot. How Saddam Husseinesk.
They couldn’t have just…DRESSED THE GUY AS SATAN?
Not like their version of a Muslim or Antifa?
Imagine if it was a guy with a blond toupee and orange skin…

If he had explained that to the audience in advance, the cameraperson didn’t record it. Not that such context (or any other context for that matter) would have made this disgraceful fiasco any less disgraceful. Whatever message that idiot preacher was trying to convey, he did an absolutely horrid, inexcusable job of it. I’m inclined to think this guy is so full of incoherent unfocused hate as to be unable to properly express or articulate himself at all.
Luke 19:27 But those mine enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring them hither and slay them before me.
