The War Against Christianity

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."

Thank you for demonstrating the standard Christian persecution complex.

It still boggles my mind. The first shooting happened at 12:30 AM, 65 miles away. Within 12 hours, New Life Church had armed guards at the entrance of their church. I just think it's strange that they would assume "we're next" after a shooting 65 miles away. I'll be interested when more of the details start to really come out about this guy and his relationship with these two organizations.
 
That is very interesting.

I wonder how many of the members of this fundamentalist Christian church have concealed carry permits.

The moral of this thread? There are bad people who are Christians, there are bad people who aren't. Life is full of bad people, so make sure you doubly enjoy the good ones you know.

Or the alternate moral is: Christian or Atheist...pack heat. It's always good to hedge your bets no matter what your "side." :p
 
I would say the moral of this story is that Christians our paranoid, and their greatest enermy is theirself.

Back on topic. So a atheist did not commit the shooting. This kind of makes this thread stupid.

This proves nothing. Also, it is pretty sad that this is the best you can come up with. I would have came up with this http://youtube.com/watch?v=7GdXRwCsMRg you know I frought the atheist with a sword and won.

I must say I find this story somewhat alarming. It's just enough details to induce an emotional response, but not enough details to know what that response should be.

Should I be outraged that someone attacked you with intent to cause bodily harm?

or should I be outraged that you would respond in such a way that would greatly escalate the level of violence?

Obviously the answer to this depends on what you mean by "attack".

The part that makes me sad to think it may be the later due to your statement

For no other reason than it assumes that one party is the obvious initiator in this feud and there is no proof of that.


However, most importantly, I regret that you were attacked and I hope that you are alright. Please, take care of yourself.
 
Damn, and just when I was hoping for a ceasefire while we finish off those damn Zoroastrians.

I was dragged to a church in Missouri back in 2001 that DID have security guards. I don't remember them being armed, but once the service began they blocked the doors. This was distressing a few moments later when a man began writhing about on the floor screaming in 'tongues.' So, yeah, I wasn't going to stick around for that. When I and my friends went to leave, the guards did not step aside. I stared one down, reached behind him, grabbed the door handle and bumped him with the door. It shocked him into moving out of the way and we were out of there.

I'm just writing this to say that there IS, at least, in one church, the mentality of needing guards. I should add that I have no knowledge of this church's history and if they endured threats or violents in the past. It seemed more like the guards were there to discourage leaving. All in all it was a rattling experience.
 
Ahem:


Matt Murray 24, son of a Denver Neurologist and living with his parents in their Englewood home, has been identified as the shooter in the Colorado Church shootings at the New Life Church in Colorado Springs.

Fnord, please find a doctor to help you with your raving paranoid schizophrenia.

I don't think I would label it "Typical Christian Hypocrisy," but I might label it hypocrisy given that Jesus clearly and unequivocally stated that one should always turn the other cheek. Of course, I could be completely wrong in that viewpoint. I am curious as to how you see it, Fnord. Do you think there should be limits to "turn the other cheek"? Do you think it is outdated? Is there some other reason why you chose the exact opposite of what Jesus taught?
 
I think this is clearly a case of the white people having an uprising against their white overlords. Everybody involved, shooter and victims were all white, right?
