Apparently we're responsible for all mass murders

[WhollyHeretic]

In this country. It must be why prisons are just packed with non-believers.

1. Bile O'Reilly again.

O’Reilly Connects WDBJ Shooting to U.S. ‘Turning Away from Spiritualism’ and Religion

O’Reilly tonight connected the WDBJ shooting to America “turning away from spiritualism” and saying that nearly every killer he’s ever reported on has believed in nothing.

O’Reilly cited “rise in nihilism and a decline in spiritual belief,” as well as the declining number of Americans identifying as Christians and the increasing number of Americans identifying as religiously innovated, to connect this to what influences killers with “few restraints in their lives.”

Psychotherapist Karen Ruskin pushed back a bit and said there are “many cases where people are spiritual and they kill others.” O’Reilly challenged her to name one “outside of the jihadists.” Ruskin asked why not include jihadists as an example of killers motivated by their strong beliefs.

She insisted that mental illness doesn’t discriminate whether you’re a believer or non-believer, but O’Reilly insisted, “Every single murderer over 40 years that I have covered in these circumstances has been either atheistic, agnostic, no religious basis at all.”

He again asked, “Can you point to one person who committed mass murder recently that had a religious background? You cannot.”

Now, in case you’re wondering why O’Reilly isn’t including religious Muslim jihadists in there, here’s his explanation:

“The spiritualism falls apart in the face of the jihad, okay, which is a perversion of Islam, we all know that. But over the years and centuries, religion has been used to justify murder, even in the Christian precincts. That has happened. But individuals in this country now, I believe, are tending away from spirituality and into the secular-progressive ‘it’s all about me.’ And when you combine that with a mental illness, you have what you had in Virginia yesterday.”

There's a video from FauxNews there too but I don't have the stomach to watch it.







btw your link isn't working.

2. I couldn't bring myself to watch the video either. I fixed the link.

I had posted from my phone originally but it was acting funny.

3. I thought that might have been it, that's why I posted the text.

They just never quit, do they?

Atheists are such a threat to their precious religion that they have to constantly gin up hatred towards us.

[WhollyHeretic]

4. All bad people are automatically atheists since Christians are all good

When will those crazy atheists stop letting god tell them what to do.

He must have been an undercover atheist.

5. That explains it.

I'm sure they had a crisis of faith when they committed mass murder.

Isn't that the go to defense whenever a Christian sins?

6. Bill O'reilly says whatever his gullible, stupid audience wants to hear.

[trotsky]

7. Hell, there are DUers who push that bigoted filth.

Religion, of course, can only be noble and good and sunshine and rainbows. Ergo, anytime something bad happens, it's because someone is NOT behaving according to a religion.

It is shocking how many alleged progressives don't even want to understand how bigoted and ugly that line of thinking is. "religion = good // non-religion = bad"

8. well of course

because, after all, in centuries past, no crimes or murders were ever committed by those who were fervent believers.

Same Shit, Different Tragedy.

After Sandy Hook they blamed the tragedy on secularism for taking God out of the classroom, as if nothing bad ever happens to children around priests.

10. O'Really?

...but O’Reilly insisted, “Every single murderer over 40 years that I have covered in these circumstances has been either atheistic, agnostic, no religious basis at all.”

Aw, you buncha nit-pickers! Bill's simply covering the wrong people. Not his fault! To help him out, just off the top of my alleged head...

1989 - Jeffrey Lundgren (Xian/LDS) - "prophet" who ordered the massacre of an entire family, including their young children, in Kirkland, OH.

1994 - David Koresh (Xian)

1994- Paul Jennings Hill (Xian), murdered Florida doctor who provided abortions and his escort, a retired US military officer

1996 - Eric Rudolph (Xian)

I'm already tired. So here's a whole Wiki entry on "Xian Terrorism:"

[muriel_volestrangler]

15. Spiritualism? We're meant to be communing with the dead, to stop murders?

Do they help solve serial murder cases or something?

[onager]

17. Of course! Ain't you got no FAITH!?
