NightSG Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I've seen some fairly tense moments over seating in various churches, but this is the first time I've heard of it going beyond dirty looks and mumbled profanity. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/churchgoer-killed-fight-seat-sunday-service-article-1.2618098 Quote A churchgoer shot a fellow parishioner in a Pennsylvania church after a fight broke out over a seat in the sanctuary on Sunday, authorities say. The argument started when a churchgoer told Robert Braxton III, 27, he was sitting in seats reserved for two other church members during Sunday service at the Keystone Fellowship Church, district attorney Kevin Steele said Sunday21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tesuji Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I guess they were in the right place. I just hope they listen better to the sermons in the future Quote "A church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints." - Pauline Phillips Quote "When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." - Mark 2:17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unixknight Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Well it certainly has cool points of its own, no doubt. Still, as the descendant of a Crusader knight, I gotta go with the weapon of choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be honest, I think there's just something cool about a Scottish Claymore, but most people don't know how to properly wield one these days so I'll just settle for the traditional European Longsword. That said, there's a lot to be said for the cavalry sabers used by the Muslim light cav during the Crusades... ... wow this conversation got dark...
