The new movie “Armor of Light” is coming out Friday. It’s touted as a movie about faith and guns and it’s being pitched to everyday Americans – specifically conservative Christians.
Here’s the description of the flick from “Deadline“:
Armor Of Light, a documentary about faith and guns which marks the directorial debut of producer Abigail Disney (granddaughter of the late Roy O. Disney) is bowing in theaters on October 30, backed by an unusual grassroots marketing effort that is working hard to bring in both card-carrying NRA members and conservative evangelicals, as well as those who are in groups for gun legislation.
Plans are underway right now to be able to make the movie free to card-carrying members of the NRA in 10 of its playdates for its entire opening weekend. The film is being released via Disney’s Fork Films and has made its own deals directly with various theaters in areas where faith-based films have performed well.
…The film is about evangelical minister Rob Schenck’s spiritual awakening and his mission to try to stop gun violence in America by asking faith-based questions of his evangelical following and how they reconcile their 2nd Amendment stance into conversations about God and what Jesus preached.
If you think something doesn’t smell right, you would be correct.
Most of America has little to no use for liars, cheats and scoundrels who grift their way through life.
Evangelical minister Rob Schenck (pronounced “Shank” but perhaps we should call him “Skank”) is cut from the same cloth as Robert Tilton, the disgraced evangelical minister. At one time, Robert Tilton was seen on TV in all of America. That was until it was discovered that he was only interested in the donations sent to him, and not the prayer requests – which were found discarded in the dumpster behind his bank.
Schenck hasn’t been found to be throwing out prayer requests, but this movie is being deceptively marketed to Americans as a “faith based” movie about dealing with “gun violence”. Bristol Palin called it spot on: “The movie is nothing more than liberal propaganda camouflaged as ‘thoughtful commentary.'”
Palin went on to write:
….You would think — based on the noise around the film — that this film includes some courageous spiritual and moral guidance on guns. Though the pastor says repeatedly that he isn’t trying to have a “political conversation” but a theological one, he never, ever, ever looks to the Bible (which DOES speak to this issue).
Instead, he only looks to politicians and political issues. He says not to get your spiritual counsel from Fox News or the NRA, but from “trusted spiritual authorities.”
What about the Bible as a primary source?
It speaks to the weapon issue, though he conveniently skips the Bible passages that talk about being armed and protecting one’s family. The pastor says he doesn’t want to be labeled as a “liberal,” though he spouts leftist talking points from the first moments of the movie.
Mr. Schenck is clearly no history scholar, and as such he’s doomed to repeat history. Schenck believes violent criminal predators are a protected species, whose lives are every bit as noble and important as those of innocents. With Schenck’s unique brand of fringe pacifism, we’d all be speaking German right now if it were up to him and his flawed beliefs.
Breitbart is also getting the word out about this movie’s attempt to deceive Americans into seeing it. And they spell his name as “Shank”.
During the October 14 airing of CNN’s Amanpour, Faith and Action’s Reverend Bob Shank said we are called to love our enemies, not carry a gun with a predetermined willingness to shoot and kill them in self-defense.
Shank suggests the idea of carrying a gun for self-defense runs counter to pro-life ethics.
…[T]he overarching thrust of Shank’s interview with CNN was to discuss his upcoming film highlighting his opposition to Christians arming themselves for self-defense. The film is titled, The Armor of Light, and Shank has teamed up with Abigail Disney to make it.
In the film Shank argues that the Bible says nothing about carrying a gun for self-defense. Of course, the argument could be made that the Bible doesn’t say anything about making films to highlight one’s opposition to carrying guns for self-defense, but that’s a separate point.
Nevertheless, Shank and Disney appeared together on CNN, and both contended that they have no political or legislative agenda in opposing the use of guns for self-defense.
“In the film Shank argues that the Bible says nothing about carrying a gun for self-defense.”
Of course not, moron, since guns weren’t invented until hundreds of years after the Bible was written.
Luke 22. Vers 31 – 36
Read that part and you will see he was all wrong. The Bible do mention a weapon for self defense, actually the most common assault weapon of those days. The terminology “gun” came into the language at a much later term.
Read Nehemiah Chapter 4 before you decide that God is against armed self-defense.
Luke 11:21 – When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe.
I wonder who funded this film?
Let’s see: It gets awards at one of those liberal film festivals where they think a cross in a cup of urine is somehow the highest form of art, but if you make fun of Moo-hommed the pedophilic son of Satan, you’re asking for trouble.
It’s produced by a Disney and distributed by a Disney subsidiary.
They are very cryptic in their angle in the trailer
You know, if it craps like a duck, quacks like a duck, swims like a duck and looks like a turd, it’s probably a liberal piece of shit masquerading as a duck.
I thought “scam” when I heard about this movie weeks ago.
As for Pastor Shank/Schenck/Skank, Americans as a collective whole, should flush his church and his organization down the crapper where it belongs.
Someone should have told him that if you sleep with the enemy, you’re gonna catch more than fleas.

Liberals are such bigots. They think religious people are stupid.
Joke’s on them.
