A "Fundamentalist Christian" has a relationship with Jesus. Our shooter assures us to be "Christian" as he uses the word, no such relationship is needed.

You didn't read the article, did you?

Then move to a country where censorship is imposed. I'll even help you pack.

What a bizarre thing to say - and misspelled too. Mighty impressive.


If you don't find The New York Times double standard humorous, you're just not paying attention.

I did read the article and I didn't see anything humorous about it. I honestly think there is something wrong with you. I cannot comprehend how someone could find ANY humor in such a horrible situation. The fact that you find enjoyment in others' tragedy makes you no better than the terrorist who did the acts.

Hey, Kat, I don't research so well on the NYT because I just don't care to read it. However, I did better than one headline for you although you won't like the source that they are in. Along with the headline quotes is a good article about what they did and how they did it.

I found some other good ones but this is the best one because it has so many different hit those damned right wing extremists as hard as you can get by with. Notice that the last one in the article had to be changed before publication.

If you have seen this post look at the link again as I made it right since a very good forum friend called my attention to me getting the wrong page. Thanks CB.

Very well said Janelle but you can get into trouble for saying things like that here as I can well attest.

No one should blame a non violent religion as Christianity for this mass murder, simply not what Christianity teaches. I heard he had Nazi ideas. It's likely Breivik is crazy as well. Muslim terrorists cling to Koran scripture that states to kill the infidel in other religions (if won't convert), as well as other scripture to kill. This leads extremists and even some we know of as nice people such as Cat Stevens to think punishment for isulting Islam is death, such as for that book author. Different religions, Islam and Christianity. Mc Vey was a strong atheist through the very end. Nations peoples tend not to want another religion and culture to take over their nation understandably but they do not deal with it by murder.
Brievik, in his manifesto, had a self-interview in which he talked about things like atheist Christians and agnonsic Christians. I wonder how many of our atheists consider themselves Christians of any sort. How about the agnostics? He did claim to be a Christian but also an atheist and those are conflicting ideologies.

ROB, your link links to the second page of the article. Here's a link that goes to Page 1

Our people deserve your respect right now, do not use the deaths and traumatization of our families and friends to gain for yourselves.

And no, Roys, it is not humorous whatsoever. It is insulting and degrading.
Please don't lump all 350 million of us in the same group as this crazy woman, who thinks stuff like this is "humor".
