Yes I read that. Odd that a child raised by a devout evangelical Christian family turns so violent and hateful. What did they mean by "walking away from his faith?"

One can only wonder if, under the guise of righteousness, fundamentalists plant a seed of intolerance and hatred in their children.

Conditt grew up in an evangelical homeschooling family in Pflugerville, and that the family was reportedly active in their local homeschooling community.

So if a person "walks away" from Christianity (and therefore, likely CONSERVATISM) what exactly are they turning to?


If a person "walks away" from leftism, a logical conclusion is that they are turning towards the opposite, right?


The flipside is the logical conclusion a person has to come to. It's not hard to figure out.

Just because they aren't indoctrinated the way YOU want them to be in communist public school system, doesn't mean they are worse students. On the contrary, according to studies, they perform better.


Though that doesn't have much to do with this child. I still wouldn't be surprised if he was Antifa, through and through.
Doesn't mean he wasn't extremely socially awkward - as a lot of these mass killers seem to be.


I'd say it's MUCH more likely a MAGA hat will be found in the rubble of his life.

So he "walks away" from Christianity, yet you still hold Christianity as the guilty culprit in this. Okay.

A bit more information about the bomber:

Quote:
The oldest of four children, Conditt was homeschooled by his mother. A 21-year-old woman named Cassia Schultz who said she “ran in the same conservative survivalist circles in high school as Conditt.” She mentioned that she and Conditt were a part of a social group for homeschooled kids called Righteous Invasion of Truth (RIOT).
Quote:
“A lot of us were very into science; we would discuss chemicals and how to mix them and which ones were dangerous,” Schultz told BuzzFeed. “We were into weapons and stuff. A lot of us did role-playing, and RPG [role-playing games]; we’d have foam weapons and act out a battle.”
Quote:
The Austin American-Statesman reports that Conditt wrote about his opposition to gay marriage and abortion, and his support for the death penalty. He also advocated for the abolishment of sex-offender registries.

Can’t get beyond the paywall.

Bomber left a lengthy video on his phone describing how he assembled the bombs. No indication of motive.

He last posted to his FB Account 6 years ago when he expressed one line descriptions of his ideology at the time, in favor of the death penalty, opposed to free abortions, homosexuality, SSM and the registration of sex offenders.

Did his acts meet the FBI’s definition of domestic terrorism ?

What information do you have that leads you to conclude that this bomber was "liberal?"

People who stop believing in Christianity are not necessarily turning toward anything.
