that makes way too much sense..

just read this..

Mall shooter's suicide note: Now I'll be famous

A 19-year-old gunman who police said killed eight people and then himself at a Nebraska mall left a suicide note predicting the shootings would make him famous, his landlady said.

I understand having to report the news, etc etc.. but why couldn't they just say "Some idiot shot some folks at the mall then killed himself.. sport's are up next. "

but instead they'll plaster his name and picture everywhere, tell us all about his pitiful life, what drove him to it. yadda yadda yadda.

the idiot left a note "Now I'll be famous" and here they go..

Oh well, his fame won't last. He'll be forgotten soon enough.

Not to mention in Jonestown, Guyana.

I am sure there are some that got burned at the stake too Good to see you two sitting on the same fragile limb

"There are plenty of religious nuts" is a "fragile limb?" Seems like more of an indisputable fact to me.

Who thinks that either Jim Jones or the Branch Davidians were good Christians? Only then could you call these people "Religious" instead of "egomanical", "neurotic", or whatever word fits. There are many who have a lot to say about religion who are not truely religious themselves.

Being religious is a man made way of thinking with emotions. I agree with your post rhertz and the crispy critters tell no lies now do they

The above two mentioned were false prophets, claiming to be the Son of God. They were not Christians, they just knew how to take the Bible and twist it to make it what they wanted it to be. A common problem in the world today.

I don't know what was going on with the guy in Nebraska, but obviously something wasn't clicking. But just because he did a horrible thing, I am deeply saddened for his family as well as the other victims. We should remember that they just lost their child. Not only that, but knowing he killed so many innocent people. I hope and pray that I will never feel so bad and depressed that I think my life isn't valuable.

Probably about as many people that think the killers that "need Bibles" were good atheists.

>they just knew how to take the Bible and twist it to make it what they wanted it to be.

And your solution is more Bibles?

Christianity doesn't have the copyright on "don't kill other people." Pretty much every moral, ethical, and legal system on the planet has that rule. Anybody who is considered "a good ___________" doesn't shoot up the mall.

True, Jones and Koresh were false prophets by every means. The point that Joe was making is that religion does not cure insanity. In fact, some people use religion to support their madness. His supporting fact for this statement was that there are crazies in church just as there are out. It's a reasonable statement.

Anywho, this guy was cracked. I can't figure out why he had to take several random people with him. What's the purpose? No one ever remembers scum like him for very long, so surely fame wasn't his only motivation. Not unless he was crazy and stupid.
