Pastors Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner
on Tuesday described to their radio listeners a shooting massacre in
Connecticut as a rougher “rebellion against God” than gay
marriage.
Gunman Adam Lanza, 20, on Friday forced
his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut and
killed 27 people, including 20 children, before taking his own life.
Despite the fact that Lanza was
homeschooled, Swanson and Buehner, strong homeschooling advocates,
also blamed the shooting on the public school system.
“It is interesting that this is
probably one of the most shocking experiences; America has been
stunned by what happened,” Swanson
said on Generations
Radio. “I think there is still somewhat of a conscience.
There may not be a conscience about killing the unborn children,
there may not be as much of a conscience of killing twenty-seven year
olds. But apparently when these bodies of little six and seven year
olds riddled by bullets are being examined by the experts, hundreds
of thousands and millions of people in America are still somewhat
stunned. Apparently they have some level of moral outrage left for
the slaughter of the innocents in Newtown, Connecticut.”
“I think you're exactly right,”
Buehner said. “The liberals are proposing that we as a nation
follow a kinder, gentler flavor of rebellion against God. They'd
like a rebellion that stops a little short of murdering
kindergartners. They want the rebellion that involves gay marriage;
they want the rebellion that embraces rape and abortion and a media
that is in utter defiance against the law of God. That's the kind of
society they want; they want a society that's in rebellion but not
that much rebellion.”
Swanson agreed.
