Der Priester feuert ein Maschinengewehr ab. Südlibanon (libanesischer Bürgerkrieg), Mai 1985 [890X592].

He seems pretty happy about it too

Ironically, the guy letting him have a bash at his MG is going, “God, give me strength.”

The guy in the background 🤦‍♂️

…in his combat sneakers lol

Proper sectarian violence

“God forgives, my son… *but I dont*” BAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAM

God give me headspace and timing

I can’t post an image, but this link goes to a soviet propaganda poster of a priest with a machine gun that reads “come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” [https://www.instagram.com/p/C4LNCalo22H/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==](https://www.instagram.com/p/C4LNCalo22H/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==)

He’s just doing God’s work. A perfect balance of harmony and chaos.

We Can’t Expect God to Do All the Work

This picture by Patrick Chauvel was taken in Bisri. The reporter who took the picture later said the priest had seen his church get burned by muslims days before, that’s why he did it but had regrets afterward because maronites weren’t supposed to fight. He came to him later in the day asking him not to publish the picture because priests were usually spared during massacres, and if the ennemy knew he fired, they wouldn’t be spared anymore. This picture was most likely a joke that was taken out of context since the priest and the soldier were laughing.
