CNN has posted a history of bias against Sikhs - more reason for people to learn about religions before they attack anyone:...

RT @graceishuman: Really,? Asking people JUST LEAVING the service how they felt about it? Tacky, tacky, inappropriate
Whitney Houston's funeral service really took the world to church. Love Pastor Winans' honesty, very moving.

A church in Oklahoma was planning to give away a gun to encourage teens to attend their weekend youth conference. That plan has now been cancelled.
A spokesman for Windsor Hills Baptist told Oklahoma’s Channel 5 News that it was planning to give away a semiautomatic assault rifle, just as they did at last year’s conference (which also included a shooting competition). The idea initially was for teens to get together and enjoy a good time, then to subsequently find the Christian faith.
But the church’s head pastor will not be able to attend the event this year. So the youth pastor removed it from the church Web site.
They’ll give the gun away at next year’s conference.
What do you think? Is a gun giveaway appropriate at a youth conference? Is it appropriate for a religious event? Is it different for any specific cultures, regions, or religions?
