Where did he attend church?

Was he in the choir?

How were his actions Christ-like (Christian)?

I agree.

Your rhetorical question is idiotic.

Glad I don't own it.



I asked four questions and you answered exactly none of them.

Care to take another stab at it?

As for the rest of that, I can't be bothered to look it up. I already was proven right, so why waste any more time? McVeigh was a terrorist who happened to be Christian. Plain and simple.

Is it that hard to grasp that people of a certain religion do not always turn out to be terrorists?

Are you sitting there expecting me to believe that the entire Muslim populace of Minnesota are terrorists just because they're Muslim? Really?

Man, your mind has been warped worse than I thought.


So you really don't know what McVeigh's religious affiliation was or if he was anything except a mass murderer who claimed to be a Christian, yet you continue to say he was a Christian and refuse to even research your own hateful claims?

Seriously, whose mind is warped?

FTR, if you can't debate what I actually posted, ad libbing on my behalf won't help.

What does singing in a choir have to do with being a Christian?

Did Osama Bin Laden sing? I guess that means he wasn't a terrorist.

Now that the irony is out of the way, why do you feel that way?

I didn't know he was a Christian because I couldn't careless about McVeigh even if I tried. He doesn't interest me and he was an evil American who took American lives. That's a terrorist, by definition. I had only assumed he was Christian once, ONCE. I didn't say it again other than that ONE time, learn to read.

My claims are not hateful whatsoever. You just admitted that he was Christian, thus proving my assumption right. If my claims being factual and truthful means they're hateful to you, then I really fear for what you consider hateful.

Yours for thinking all Muslims are terrorists and putting imaginary dots where there aren't any whatsoever.

McVeigh, though raised Catholic, basically rejected religion later in life and professed in a letter to be agnostic just before his execution.
Timothy McVeigh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Still waiting for your modern-day examples of Christian terrorists/ those who murder explicitly in the name of Christ.
Curious as to your opinion on the role of religion in the Boston bombings too.

For the record, I don't think religion should be banned of course. I just think you're ill-informed in some respects.

No, we're the USA, not Iran. We have a thing called the Constitution.

Well yeah, you did fail. Did you not catch the irony of my statement? At how stupid it sounded? It was in direct response to the statement of Muslims and Jews being banned.

You're the one who failed, miserably.
