It's not that hypocritical. It's not as if the site is condoning harming people. Firing guns for sport at objects is a hobby ya know,.

I assume the specific dichotomy Raven is referring to (besides the general clash with the non-violence of Jesus' message/methods) is displaying a symbol born out of a desire to avoid violence while promoting the use of extraordinarily violent weapons.

Labeling the weapon "anti-terrorist" kinda shoots the "hobby" theory full of holes there Hulkein.

I didn't see that as saying 'use this verse terrorists on your own'. It's just the weapons used by various anti-terrorist groups.
