Christian Terrorists Among Us

May 31, 2009 20:17

Here is a very informative article about recent "abortion-related" violence. What is left out of the article is that those who inflicted the violence were/are professed Christians. When are we going to wake up and see that the issue is not political or moral? It is religious. The perpetrators acted out of their Christian convictions. They are at ( Read more... )

May 31, 2009: Prominent late-term abortion provider George Tiller is shot and killed in a Wichita church where he was serving as an usher. The gunman fled but a city official said a suspect is in custody.

HOLYFUCKINGSHIT! (I've had FOX NEWS on for hours, but I only turned it on so some of our house occupants could watch some TV. <- We watch FOX purely for THE LULZ. I wonder how O'Reilly's going to spin this since he had a proverbial boner over "TILLER, THE BABY KILLER".) I'm sad and angry simultaneously and wonder what it feels like to have blood on your hands...

I'm speculating that the killer feels fairly righteous. Not only did he kill a "baby killer" he helped purify Christ's church- one less compromised (liberal) nominal Christian in the Body of Christ.

"The churches from which they come need to be treated as terrorist organizations."

Definitely don't agree with that. The organization is not necessarily at fault because of one crazy member. I'm speaking as a person who used to be on the "let's bomb abortion clinics" side of the debate -- I was RADICALLY pro-life for a few years, and will tell you that no one at my church would have approved of me using violence to end what I perceived as injustice.

If you look, you will find people who are militant and crazy in any organization, supporting any cause for any number of reasons. Animal rights terrorists, for instance, or Muslim extremists.

Just as I don't think Islam should be condemned for having one violent sect, or PETA for the actions of a few extreme animal-lovers, I don't think a church should be condemned for having one crazy-ass member.

Please do some research on your own. Do searches on the men arrested for the crimes. It is easy to find that they are indeed members of organizations that promote the violence they carry out. They are part of militant organizations.Their organizations celebrate the killings.

I'd have to agree with the person who said not to condemn the church for the individual(s). It, to me, is like condemning all of Islam for the Taliban. Now the anti-choice groups out there that advocate these things, they absolutely need to be held responsible. And a sad number of those people call themselves Christian. Which is sad, because they are the polar opposite of what Christian should be. They're also the opposite of what "pro-life" should mean. It's sad.

Please read closely what I wrote. I did not condemn Christianity. I said that the organizations, the churches, that these criminals and terrorists come from should be treated as such. Do you think that the churches and organizations that promote this and other kinds of violence should be allowed to continue their acts of violence?

"Do you think that the churches and organizations that promote this and other kinds of violence should be allowed to continue their acts of violence?"

Absolutely not and they should be labelled as terrorist groups. The US government has no problem labelling other groups (religiously affiliated or not...) as terrorist groups but for some (sarcasm) reason not "Christian" church groups who shoot doctors and bomb clinics. *sigh* But no, they shouldn't be allowed to continue and should be labelled as domestic terrorists.

Sorry: just to add, i was saying "church" to mean the umbrella label of Christian church. I think we got our definitions mixed up in translation somewhere. I get, now, that you mean "church" as in specific individual churches, like extremist groups in other religions. That in mind, i agree with you.

Extremist ANYTHING is usually a bad idea...
