Looks like Jesus rewarded them with some extra chromosomes.

Back in college, one of the black belts in my dojo got "saved." He got saved and he got militant about "witnessing." So much so, that he got arrested for holding a gal down in her room against her will and refusing to let her out of a chair until she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. That apparently took several hours.

She then called the cops as soon as they left her room.

He got booted from school and arrested. And, oddly enough, the gal didn't actually wind up attending his church, or going out with him.

No, but I bet he put the fear of Jesus into her. Mission accomplished!

And I would be wrong.

BTW-here's a more complete article, that also includes video interviews with two of the victims & one of the suspect's mother. Link (new window)

We've already established they're republican conservatives. But they might have been going after jews. Or mormons. Or atheists. Buddhists. Lutherans.

That's the great thing about religion, it lets you define everyone as morally inferior to you.

"So far, it looks like a 32-year-old guy who recruited people half his age for a vigilante group," he said. "We're hoping as the investigation progresses, as we uncover more, there will be less to worry about."

Or, considerably more to worry about.

Bermuda59: Looks like the Govt. will have to start profiling all white slack-jawed yokels now.

They pretty much do, but when a report that was started under the Bush Administration but release under the Obama warned of the distinct possibility of right wing terrorism, it was simultaneously laughed at and shouted down by the entire right wing as alarmist BS.

So to answer your question, yes.

This... wow.
CSB time if the C stands for batshiat crazy.

My sister is heavily involved with a similar sounding group down in Texas(I know right?). They do these survival and preparedness para military training weekends that are just laden with END TIMES whargarble with a healthy dose of "Obama is gonna gitcha!" propaganda.

The males do "defense" drills and the females learn medical midwife stuff. They have already set up their kids with what are basically arranged marriages to other kids in the group. No lie, no bullshiat.

The really scary part is she has talked to me about "helping" family members be saved. As in coming and forcing you to come to a weekend session type help.


\and they wonder why I don't come and visit

I've been hearing so much about that in Texas, and I'm starting to wonder if I should get my fat atheist ass out of this state. But I don't, because moving is too difficult and I don't know where I'd go to avoid the crazy versions of Christians.

FTA: According to an operations manual allegedly confiscated from Schaffran and Rogers, the goal of the group is to "promote Christ, obtain offenders who are a danger to society, do community service work for churches and halfway houses, and do security for different functions."

Yeah, about that...

You could take a cue from them and learn (and then teach them) a thing or two about second amendment solutions if need be.

I do so heartily wish that people all over the world can recognize the hallmarks of those who are abusive, as opposed to those who have goals for the improvements for the promotion of the local community.

Many people do have within themselves the commitment to improve the community.

Let's clear out the bad seeds and support the good ones.

I hope you will be available when the day comes that those children come to you for help in getting out.... They will need a SANE voice to compare with their upbringing...

And I hope you have a damn good security detail between you and them when those little pyschos come to assassinate "the God traitor" as their final test before fully joining the Savior Unit Texas branch.

Don't trust any amount of sane voices to break through that kind of batshiat upbringing.

How do I even begin this.....
I really do "get it" as to why so many people think Christians are crazy redneck loons. The most ignorant and obnoxious among us seem to get all the press and tv face time. Just like for every militant Islamist who really does want to kill you there are a couple of million Muslims who are totally ok with ignoring you, most Christains are embarassed and repulsed by this crap.

To the extent I can, I'd like to apologize for the feral dingbats who are claiming to be Chrisitans and making the rest of us look insane.

My religion teaches me to be kind, patient and loving towards my fellow man.It explicitly says to let others believe as they wish. I honestly have no idea where these people get this stuff (my best guess is religious television).

Currently preparing to be a priest in a couple of years.

I protect myself from "saviour units" with an "AR-15".

I do find it hilarious that tweedle dee and tweeldle dumbfark had BP vests but not a gun.
