It's now a shooting war, as both sides have opened fire.

We're often ridiculed for being weak-minded victims. Now we'll be ridiculed for being gun-toting hypocrites.

Sorta reminds me of the time I threw someone through a plate-glass window after he and his buddies attacked me for bringing a Bible to school.

They left me alone after that, but used my act of self-defense as "evidence" for "Typical Christian Hypocrisy."
 
Wow, good job on assuming. You have no idea why the attacker chose those victims. Who is ridiculing you, precisely? Certainly not that rather straightforward article. You don't even know why those people were attacked. The attacker might have been a Christian who found the beliefs of some other Christians deloprable, or he might have been hearing messages from his neighbor's dog.

You don't cite anything or know anything to support your case, but you're certainly prepared to hang yourself on a cross.

What a curious world Mr/Ms/Mrs Fnord lives in. Not one I would want to live in . . . or even visit. :(
 
It's great when Christmas rolls around, so you can see Christianity ramp up its persecution complex. "We're under attack!". Yawn.

As was pointed out, you don't know why this tragedy occurred, but are all too ready to claim persecution. Bo-ring.
 
Is Ted Haggard gay, maybe it is a attack against gayness.

Saying that I usually round up my atheist posse and commit random acts of violence against christian.

Note: I don't have a atheist posse.
 
So who, in this story, is 'fighting back'? The guy with a gun who found a cluster of people and shot at them?
 
Fnord,

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that the shooter turns out to be an atheist and he did it for what he believed to be good for atheism. How does that start a shooting war? That individual in no way represented me or any other atheist I know.

One of the problems of this adherents against atheism viewpoint is that the adherents assume that atheism is a religion in its own right. It's not. It's just a grouping of individuals who don't believe in god. There's no organization. No agenda. Not only do I condemn the actions of this idiot, no matter his motivation, but I also applaud your standing up for yourself against bullies of any stripe.
 
Conclusion jumping taken to new heights in the quest to portray the poor persecuted Christian. Film at eleven.
 
The violence began about 12:30 a.m. Sunday, when a man opened fire at the Youth With a Mission office after he had been denied a request to spend the night there.

OK, someone had a beef.
Witnesses told police that the gunman was a 20-year-old white male, wearing a dark jacket and a cap, who had a handgun.

This tells us little to nothing.
More than 12 hours later, at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, a gunman with a high-powered rifle entered the church's main foyer and opened fire, Colorado Springs Police Chief Richard Myers said.

Apparently a different guy. Guess we won't know if he did this for the Great Atheistic People's Revolution, since he is dead. Report was that he brought a lot of ammo, so it is a good thing the security guard got the drop on him, from early reports.

I didn't realize it was Ted Haggard's old church. That place has got some bad luck.

Does anyone else find it strange that the Church has security guards? I've been to many churches, including several large and wealthy ones, and I've never seen one with their own security. Nevertheless, I guess it's good they did.

Unless the Colorado GAPR battalion has gone rogue, I can assure you we had nothing to do with it. We would never bust into a church to kill Christians. We prefer to take them alive, as the lions seem to enjoy it more that way.

They apparently drafted some members as security guards after the first shooting at the missionary center. They don't normally have guards.

Are you claiming it isn't, or simply that it's unfair to characterize all Christian on the basis of your bad example?
