I am not a Christian and any decision I would make would be based on my own ethics. And BTW, I did not say what my decision would be.

What joke did Ann Coulter make about the killings? Really, I'd like to know. Show me a link to this "joke".

Most people would see you first point otherwise, but just to clarify, what would your choice be?---mass killings at the Twin Towers or mass murders at the NYT building? That was the only two choices given in your post.

Maybe you are right but there seem to be more atheists popping up than I had pegged before.

New York Times Reader Kills Dozens in Norway - HUMAN EVENTS

New York Times Reader Kills Dozens in Norwayby Ann Coulter

The title of her article. Isn't it hilarious? In fact, I believe you were one of the ones who told us it was humor. Hmm, I see you also used the word "wit". Ann thinks it's funny to joke about these killings. Maybe she's a sociopath, too.

Hey, Kat, I have been busy and not on here but did you see my 5 or 6 headlines from the al Times that day? I put them on so late last night and didn't get a chance to check.

Pelosi, Pelosi, Pelosi, Pelosi.

Do you really think they pulled that trick to get even with Fox News? Gawd, I hope not.

Can you be a Christian when you kill someone? Apparently not.
But can you support a government that kills innocent people and still be considered a Christian? Can you be openly racist and/or anti-Muslim meaning hating other people and still be a Christian?
Can you be supportive of the death penalty when the Bible says you shouldn't?
Many would say yes, and this is what I find hypocritical.
Have you not seen that Breivik called himself a Christian atheist and a Christian agnostic? Right there in his writings he said exactly that. How many atheists do you think are Christians? I don't know even one of those.

So correcting a false rumor going around is now classified at "getting even" now? And what the heck does Pelosi have to do with this thread or my post?

The thrust of Ann's article, which I saw for the first time after it was posted here, was about the New York Times and their slanted reporting. No, I am not the one who said it was "humor". That was someone else. I said "one person's wit and humor is another person's horrified reaction and both sides do it". I found her article to be witty but I wouldn't call it "humor". The barbs she lobs were not about the Norway massacre; they were directed toward the New York Times and their coverage of the event. She did not make light of the murders.
