Christian Terrorists?Follow

Paying people to kill other people is also murder. I'd say think about it, but ... well ... it's you.

I'm sorry? What I have said has been shown true by history. "Only stupid people would do that" doesn't have any positive result. It's akin to saying that the ***** weren't human. Near anyone could be brought to such actions, it's only a matter of circumstance, and to write them off as some sort of alien is not complicit to understanding and solving the issues. You're welcome to do it if it makes you feel better, but you should recognize it for what it is.

Various people disagree.

And there's also the matter of various people throughout history resorting to terrorism when occupied by foreign powers. I guess it could have been for fun, though.

Sound familiar?

brb, warming up stock responses to stock arguments.

That would be Proof.

This.

Inarticulate ramblings aside, his point isn't completely invalid. As a group, the followers of the Judeo-Christian God have been using violence to get what they want far longer than the muzzies. They aren't really "taking a leaf" from anyone. For me it would be a whole lot more concerning if we were beginning to see a distinct up-tick in the frequency of incidents from the fundamentalist Christians. As it sits today, however, where the incidents are no more frequent or far reaching than they have been for much of the last 40 years, I say let the FBI track the individual quacks and deal with them while keeping an occasional eye turned their direction.

The difference between them and the fundamentalist Islamists is the pervasive nature of their militancy in the communities where they set up shop. Their messages are accepted and embraced by the governments of countries (even if only as a means to an end), where here even the staunchest conservatives can look their direction and give a great big /facepalm.

That may have been what he thought his point was, but he's not typically regarded as the brightest bulb in the chandelier, I'll articulate for him where I can.

Humbly.
