A Kentucky church is under fire after performing a mock execution by firing squad in front of kids during bible school.
The disturbing viral video shows children at Mount Olivet Baptist Church chanting, "Take him out! Blow him up!" as men dressed in military gear point guns and pretend to shoot multiple rounds into a man lying on the stage.
You can see the pastor leading the chant during the mock execution ... and kids giggle and laugh while the mock firing squad victim gets dragged offstage and outside.
Once the men are outside, the pastor stands by the door and leads the kids through a count ... and then they hear a pop from outside, causing the kids to scream.
Even though it's not real, it's still tough to watch.

Pastor Dewayne Walker went on the church's Facebook page and responded to the backlash, saying the clip depicts "commandos for Christ" killing the Devil with "the gospel gun."
For the sketch, Walker says they used air rifles, which are "basically paintball guns." He says the skit is designed to "make church a fun place, a happy place" while teaching kids to love each other and hate Satan.
