Gunman Attacks Conservative Christian Group

Of course I agree, however, it is apparent to me that your reason for posting this had nothing to do with heinousness of the crime. Instead, it comes across as another one of your fallacious attempts the play the "see, both sides do it," card.

I don't know why you're making this a believer / non-believer issue. This incident is completely unrelated to that. The investigation is still ongoing and no one knows much about the shooter yet except that he had some issues with FRC.

Unless you are quite naive to the level of a 3 year old toddler, you did post this in an atheist forum, describing yourself as a pentecostal christian. And your headline, quite provocative, is not "Gunman attacks Congregation of people".

Now, for all I've seen you are not that naive. Are you purposedly baiting the newer members?

Do you post every article you find about a gunman not killing anyone???

I want to point out that I don't think anyone should object to him posting this. It is legitimate news, I think. It is worth discussion and no different from things we discuss here everyday. My only question was whether he would have posted it if it were a Republican shooting at a bunch of atheists. Oh, sorry. I forget Republican =/= to absolutely insane Christian, or is it?

I don't object to him posting this. But it's sad to see someone so efficiently painting themselves as a real tool.

Lighten up. Make some friends. Talk about your views, not how "it's all them evil other people." You'll live longer and have more fun. And probably convince more people to consider your side of things.

Oh, he certainly does that. Just his signature is enough to make me want to stay very far away from him. However, it is sad news.

Then why post the limited account of this particular shooting? Why not some other shooting that occured on the same day in the U.S.? Why not any shooting in the U.S. on any given day?

The fact is that you started the thread because it happened at the FRC. This is what makes this a believer/non-believer issue. Your entire point is to say 'we get shot at too'. If it's not, you would have started a myriad of threads in the last week regarding other shootings.

Because given the context, I doubt if this gunman was a disaffected college student mistakenly thinking he was attacking Feather River College. If so, he probably needed a better GPS because he was on the wrong side of the country.
