Clinging to God & Guns Ellen Painter Dollar is a progressive Christian who writes about faith, parenting, and disability. She sprinkles Jesus on her political views to justify her political positions (except for her “nuanced” views on abortion). When it comes to guns, she’s knows all the anti-gun cliches and lies, and she thinks the only reason we own guns is because we have fear in our hearts. And according to the Gospel of John, we should have no fear. Or is it 1 John? Not sure.

Prayer for the Week O God, because You know that we dare not put our trust in anything that we do, mercifully grant that by Your power we may be defended against all adversity; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
