'IT WAS TRAUMATIZING TO WATCH': A Vacation Bible School skit at a Lexington church is drawing national attention after a viral video showed church staff carrying airsoft-style rifles and pretending to shoot a person portraying the devil while children cheered. 

The performance has ignited a heated online debate, with critics—including pastors and child development advocates—calling the scene disturbing and inappropriate for a children's event, while supporters argue it was a symbolic depiction of the battle between good and evil.
