Gunman Attacks Conservative Christian Group

I don't think anyone here is claiming otherwise. I mean the guy did kinda come out & say it before he shot the guard. You did read the story, right?

Oh, this was just a lame attempt to be divisive. Right.

People can be resistant to find ideologies whose viewpoints they agree with at fault for bad things. It's a common cognitive bias; liberal atheists aren't necessarily exempt from it. Pointing out cognitive bias--or inquiring about the incidence of a particular cognitive bias--isn't an "attempt to be divisive".

For my part, it's an attempt to recognize and minimize the impact of cognitive bias. So, I guess you could call that "divisive" if you like.

Sounds like some projection there. Can we stop with the personal attacks & try to get back on subject?

Look at Ryantology's post. Apparently, the lesson we're to learn from this shooting is...how bad theism is.

When a religious nut shoots at people: "Boy, this is so typical of religious nuts!"

When a leftist LBGT activist shoots at people: "Boy, this is so typical of religious nuts!"

Again, quit being an asshole. No one here has said a person of different beliefs is less of a victim when attacked violently. This is the second time you have said this, so....put up some fucking evidence or shut your goddamn mouth about it.

I still haven't said that anyone thinks a person of different beliefs is less of a victim. They may very well consider them just as much of a victim; I just think they don't care as much. That's why Ryantology is lecturing about how bad theism is, instead of how bad the shooter's ideology is.
