While it is obviously stupid to be setting off fireworks in a church, even setting aside the bodily damage they might cause, I am actually far more surprised - even concerned - that the reaction of a church full of CHRISTIANS would be to physically harm these people, and threaten to lynch them. How sadly ironic that these people are in a house of worship, worshipping Jesus, and instead of showing Christ-like attributes, they resort to anger, violence and threats of death.
