9-11 and global warming

I'm in yer church, getten you closer to Heaven!

Shooter was baptized into LDS faith (new window)

Somewhere, Joe Arpaio applauds.

Err...

WTF...

Kid was home schooled by Jesus freaks. That turned out well.

Federal authorities were alerted to anti-Christian postings apparently written by Murray

Well, I'm farked.

An armed church security guard, a new Christian believer, cut him down in a spray of bullets before he could carry out even more violence.

Just like Jesus would've done!

and performing dark rock songs by Marilyn Manson and Linkin Park at a 2002 Christmas celebration.

Bwahahaha. I can't go on

Reign.

I suppose that's better than farting Oklahoma City under Christian sheets.

I think the kid offed himself before Rent-A-Jesus-Cop ventilated him.

Maybe this will spark an inter-Xtian war of some sort. Different sects going around and blowing each other away... add a little sand, and we could call this the Middle-West.

Christian World? Umm, no.
This "church" was founded by Ted Haggard of crystal meth/male prostitute fame.
Funny how the news keeps failing to mention that.

Christians need their fantasies, too.

"I can say one thing without hyperbole, this is the worst story I have ever seen in 30 years of broadcasting, and maybe all of known existence."

Over-the top journalism at its best

To be fair, the article quotes the killer: "Christian America this is YOUR Columbine." But yeah, they are cashing in on it.

24-year-old Murray killed five people, including himself,

An armed church security guard, a new Christian believer, cut him down in a spray of bullets

Err...

I love the headline of the related article:

Hero Praises God for Steady Hand
Jeanne Assam Killed a Rampaging Gunman Before He Could Kill More Churchgoers

Amen.

this thread is loaded with asshats, but then again, it's fark

what ever happened to farktv? did they just give up on it, or are they like working on the fark movie right now? way things are going wouldn't be surprised...

Colorado church shooter described as "a killer trying to rain Columbine chickens down on the Christian world roost."

FTFY

/The Christian thing to do would have been to make sure the poor guy got the medical and psychological help he needed.

Religion of peace strikes again.

WTF? He looks like one of the old ladies my grandmother plays bridge with.

Well, it's about time crazy went home to roost!

headlighted-deer: this thread is loaded with asshats, but then again, it's fark

So what's your excuse, churchy?

Why is every shooting equated with Columbine? You know what? Unless it's multiple students attacking a school there is no comparison.

/rant

He did target Christians specifically.

Here is a link (new window) to his own words before the shooting:

Here is an excerpt:

I'm full of hate and I love it! I hate people and they better @#%$ fear me if they know what's good for them. Yes I hate, I'm headed to Hell and I guess I want others to know it. "Moral Values" people like Christians bring it on themselves....preaching all their bullshiat and trying to take over the world with their Nightmare religion...... "what would Jesus do" and all their ten commandments bullshiat...me.....I will do MY Will and I will kill those who try to thwart my will...Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law....

...

HA HA HA HA HA HA I'm coming for EVERYONE soon and I WILL be armed to the @#%$ teeth and I WILL shoot to kill. ....God, I can't wait till I can kill you people. Feel no remorse, no sense of shame, I don't care if I live or die in the shoot-out. All I want to do is kill and injure as many of you ... as I can especially Christians who are to blame for most of the problems in the world.

Sounds like he'd be welcome here on Fark...

How long before they say he's Atheist

//you know like Hitler
///you know like McVeigh
////You know how some Muslims called OBL Atheist

omfgodzilla: An armed church security guard, a new Christian believer, cut him down in a spray of bullets

Err...

That should actually read,

"...a spray of holy hellfire, tearing his soul from his body and flinging it into the pit to burn forever for daring to impune the will of Jesus and his followers here in this vale of tears, amen."

An armed church security guard, a new Christian believer, cut him down in a spray of bullets

Well, that was clearly worded in way that wouldn't get a reaction from people...

SacriliciousBeerSwiller: Religion of peace strikes again.

The religion didn't strike any more than a gun struck.

People kill people. Not guns. Not religion. Not knives. It's people. The religion has nothing to do with it - it wasn't like he was quoting passages from the Bible that *told* him to kill.

LibertyFirst: "Moral Values" people like Christians bring it on themselves....preaching all their bullshiat and trying to take over the world with their Nightmare religion...... "what would Jesus do" and all their ten commandments bullshiat...

He's right though, isn't he? He got poison, hypocrisy, and lies from that church his whole life, and when he saw through it he snapped. It's too bad he turned to violence before he could have further broadened his horizons.

LibertyFirst: Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law....

I think he doesn't understand Crowley...

LibertyFirst: I will do MY Will and I will kill those who try to thwart my will...

Pretty classic attitude taught in the megachurch-type doctrines. They see Christ as the vengefulness of God, come to smite all the non-Christians with hellfire and suffering. I'd say this killer learned to hate from the best.

mike_d85: Why is every shooting equated with Columbine? You know what? Unless it's multiple students attacking a school there is no comparison.

To the isolated, young males, of society with a nihilistic world view the Columbine killers were heroes. THAT is the connection.

The above link was messed up. I'll try again (new window).

Tanqueray: Christian World? Umm, no.

Interesting... Very interesting.

meh, fark Christians. they should all be dragged out into the street shot.

*and shot

shipofthesun: That should actually read,

I was commenting on the fact that the article says he killed himself and then says the security guard killed him. I wasn't talking about the wording of the security guard line.

No he stills believe in GOD and Hell

Bschott007: So...what is this "online forum for recovering pentecostals"? This is just begging for a look.

A forum for the snake bite ward of Asheville County General?

I love how every time someone shoots up a church/religious entity, it turns into a big game of hot potato, with the different interested groups disavowing the person and blaming his (it's usually a him) dysfunction on religion, atheism, liberals, conservatives, TV, video games, drugs, not enough drugs, lack of sex, etc.

It doesn't make any goddam sense, stop trying to distill meaning from it. There isn't any. He was farking crazy. That's all we need to know.

As for the security guard who shot him, first of all: NICE SHOT. I don't believe god had anything to do with it, but if her belief in that helped her take that asshole out before he could kill anyone else, it's fine by me.

Can't we all just get along....

Who would Jesus shoot?

"He seemed like a normal person, maybe a little sheltered." That's how A.J. Ormond remembers Matthew Murray

A goddamned mormon thought he was "a little sheltered". Jesus H... WOW!

Lumber Jack Off: meh, fark Christians. they should all be dragged out into the street shot.

Like I just said... to the socially isolated with a nihilistic world view these guys are heroes.

czarangelus: Pretty classic attitude taught in the megachurch-type doctrines. They see Christ as the vengefulness of God, come to smite all the non-Christians with hellfire and suffering. I'd say this killer learned to hate from the best.

So basically the Christians got what they deserved, and if someone came and killed them all it would be justice...

Like I just said to the some these killers are heroes.

Well, they are pretty flowers.
