DISNEY USES FILM TO POTSHOT GUN OWNERS
'Armor of Light' suggests Christians ought not want firearms
Cheryl Chumley
A documentary produced by a Walt Disney relative, “The Armor of Light,” takes a look at the Second Amendment through Christian eyes to suggest: it’s not really right for those of the faith to defend gun ownership.
The film from Abigail Disney, the grand niece of Walt Disney, examines if pro-gun people can simultaneously be pro-life, Fox News reported. As Teo Bugbee from the Daily Beast put it: “Namely, we experience this film through the eyes of two evangelical Christians determined to make a change in this country’s gun policy – Lucy McBath, the mother of Florida shooting victim Jordan Davis, and Reverend Rob Schenck, a pastor whose connection with McBath moved him to action. The Armor of Light is about the issue of guns, but it is also a document of Christian life in America at this heightened moment of political discontent.”
But as other reviews found, the documentary is not simple Disney magic.
“‘Brothers and sisters. Fox News and the NRA are not spiritual authorities.’ It’s one of the many mic-drop moments at the pulpit for Rob Schenck, the evangelical minister speaking out against what he sees as an unholy marriage of Christianity and gun culture in ‘The Armor of Light,’”
Variety’s Justin Chang wrote. “Here are principled believers willing to preach against the choir, and doing so with a nuanced conviction born of painful personal experience. It’s precisely the sort of faith-based provocation that Christian leaders would be far better off recommending to their congregations than the likes of ‘God’s Not Dead,’ which is not to imply that Disney’s lesson in loving, compassionate dissent should be heard by churchgoers alone.”
And Indiewire wrote: “This documentary digs into the deep affinity between the evangelical Christian movement and our country’s gun culture, and how one top minister and anti-abortion activist undergoes a change of consciousness to challenge prevailing attitudes toward firearms among his fellow Christians.”

If allowed to, they would create an Absolute Tyranny without God and His Word and bring the Entire Nation into SUBJUGATION to it. Disney is part of this godless CABAL, Masquerading as an angel of light.
