Lock him up.

evangelical Christians, and you didn't get to know them very long at all before they told you how religious they were. That's a red flag for me. It's like a disclaimer they put out there right away to tell me how wonderful they are to offset the sleaziness that is to come.

If at some point someone is talking about their church picnic or something like that, that's every day normal shit. I don't come out right away and say I think they made all that religious crap up. I have no reason to do that.

Most were smart enough to park it at the door along with their politics, prejudices, and love lives.

One of them told a gay coworker he was going to hell. She didn't like the result. The other one spread lies about her coworkers to anyone who'd stand still enough. She didn't last long.

As for this kid, I think his main problem was having a sexual screw loose. Old time religion and living in MAGAt territory certainly didn't help, along with listening to Dumdum's tirades against China for over a year. However, his problem is all his, people around him in the same religion and listening to the same MAGAt propaganda didn't go out to commit mass murder.

That stuff only justified what this deadly crackpot would likely have done, anyway.

Is UTTER BULLSHIT.

Atheists in America don't commit mass shootings.

The prison population is something like 98% religious.

Secular societies world-wide have less crime and are deemed healthier and happier.

Like Hitchens wrote: "Religion poisons everything".....

America is fucked up BECAUSE we are the most diverse religious society on Earth.

Roast me if you'd like, but that's my opinion and fervent belief.

... however, I would caution an over reliance on the claim that 'The prison population is something like 98% religious'. It seems that the original evidence for this claim is of dubious character. While I don't doubt the reality of it (i.e. Atheists are under represented in prison populations relative to general public), it apparently hasn't been proven with sufficient scientific vigor.

I make emotional outbursts not necessarily based in fact. In fact, I have ALTERNATIVE FACTS that support my fantasies...

While my sarcasm is FAKE NEWS, my grounding in other than fact-based content is well known.

He bought a gun hours before the murdering spree (but voting is made more difficult in Georgia!).
He is evidently a Conservative Christian and the characteristics are typical of Conservative Republicans:

-sexual repressed/frustrated
-violent
-gun involvement
-Misogyny
-racism
-blaming the victims
-white
-blaming his addiction on others
-religion...

here is where you choose anything in red in the Bible.

THey're Christianists.

Extremist christian fundamentalist terrorist.

The only difference between this religious gun nut and those in Muslim countries is accident of birth.

Terrorists gonna terrorize.
Yes, it was a race based hate crime. The shooter is not a reliable source for an accurate characterization of his actions.

Grab control of your own mind rather than let others exploit you for their greed

.... then they wonder why the ladies reject them and they are relegated to being incels, (involuntarily celibate).

maybe it was the vacuous look in his eyes

or his beard

and, of course, since he's white, they captured him alive

the white supremacists (I am assuming here) are really coming out of the woodwork. thanks, Trump!
