The bomber inconvenienced the people of Austin, package delivery workers etc. However let’s look at his life and realize he had it much tougher than his victims. The young man had a rough childhood so let’s not call him a terrorist or a racist. He’s was still a baby who didn’t know what he is doing. If anyone lost a limb, they can get a prosthetic leg. If they died, well they could have also died in a car accident. Let’s just focus on the fact that he was a tormented kid and all the people who knew him thought he was a nice kid. The Austin police who always tells the truth says he wasn’t racially motivated.
Remember when the Austin police told the media they believed the first victim had built the first bomb and blew himself up by accident? Such a competent group. The victim probably looked like one of those people who like violence not like our good ol little boy.
On the bright side. Front porch package theft is down 98% in Austin.
I don't think the bombing were racial motivated but I looked into it and found interesting info.
1. Both House and the slain teenager are relatives of prominent members of Austin's African-American community. CNN
2. Families of two people killed by package bombs left on their doorsteps in Austin knew each other and were connected through local activism in the black community, a civic leader said Tuesday. AP
Middle class blacks, activism, uh, Political motivated maybe? Another thing is that the police is saying the perpetrator wasn't a terrorist, but just "disturbed". I think they are liars, and won't tell the real reason. Just like they immediately call muslims terrorists, while purposely hiding the fact than in most cases they are offered a lot of money and help to carry such acts.
Of course the Austin police are lying just like when the first victim, House, was killed they told the media that they believed House had built the bomb and had blown himself up by mistake. How did they arrived to that stupid conclusion? “They said back then “we don’t believe it was terrorism, people don’t need to worry”
Imagine how House’s family must have felt when the police made such comments. He was a victim and they tried to frame him. What a disgusting group of people framing a dead person with zero evidence.
If you asked Donald Trump, "Do you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?" he would probably answer 'yes' because he suspected that's what he was expected to say, but in reality, he didn't even really know what the question really meant. So I suppose I would have to add the caveat, that one who was asked the question would have to actually understand what it meant, and THEN if they said yes, then they fit the definition.

Is there no other test (morality, etc.) which would present one as a Christian or not? By your definition, most all Nazis were Christian, even those slaughtering innocents by the tens of thousands with a pistol to the back of the head.
"Historians and theologians generally agree about the Nazi policy towards religion, that the objective was to remove explicitly Jewish content from the Bible (i.e., the Old Testament, the Gospel of Matthew, and the Pauline Epistles), transforming the Christian faith into a new religion, completely cleansed from any Jewish element and conciliate it with Nazism."
I'm fairly certain that they would have left the Jesus stuff in there.
Well, I could go on at great length here, but it would risk getting this thread way too off-topic.

I would even argue more that a person's actions are more important than their "yes/no" answer to the question of "are you a Christian?".
Trump's actions and statements...well, they speak for themselves...

Well he appointed a pro-life Supreme Court Justice.
That's an "action", I think...

That's what I mean. There are just so many angles when it comes to looking at politicians at this point in America. It's so out-of-whack.
There hasn't been a true conservative president since probably...Ford? (please don't bring up Reagan - anyone who would illegally "legalize" 4 million border-jumping criminals is no conservative, in my book, but a pure traitor).
I hope more republicans and conservatives realize that this country is so far gone that the last bastion of freedom is the Supreme Court, and it's beyond critical that we make sure no more communists are put on that Court.

See my edited post above. Like I said, "lesser of two evils"...is where we're at at this point in America.
Whether or not he's a true believer or not is besides the point. Supreme Court is all we have left at our disposal at this point.
Conditt reportedly walked away from his faith several years ago
