Prior to his capture, Kopp was on the FBI's list of Ten Most Wanted Fugitives. On June 7, 1999 he had become the 455th fugitive placed on the list by the FBI. He was affiliated with the militant Roman Catholic anti-abortion group known as "The Lambs of Christ".

Hill graduated from Reformed Theological Seminary, where he studied under Greg Bahnsen, a founder of the right-wing Christian Reconstructionist movement.[2] He attended St. Paul Presbyterian Church, which espoused theonomy, a movement related to Reconstructionism.[3] And there is this group: Army of God (AOG) is a Christian terrorist organization that has engaged in the use of anti-abortion violence in the United States to fight against abortion.[1] According to the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security's joint Terrorism Knowledge Base, the Army of God is an underground terrorist organization active in the United States formed in 1982.

While sharing a common ideology and tactics, members claim to rarely communicate;[2] the organization forbids those who wish to "take action against baby killing abortionists" from discussing their plans with anyone in advance.[3] "Christian terrorist" an oxymoron? I don't think so.

I don't think so. Killing baby killers... Eerily similar to current alt left "it is okay to punch a Nazi" mantra, and your BLM terrorists assassinating and otherwise targeting random police officers There are other terrorist groups on the left too (that would be your own religion) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_terrorism So what's your point Muslim law, ideology, calls for Muslims to terrorize and kill everyone who isn't exactly like them, even other Muslims TO PLEASE ALLAH, and as a ticket to paradise. And Muslim law encourages many forms of extreme terroristic Shariah punishments Christian tenets and Western laws, not so much. Our society (as you pointed out yourself) condemns such CRIMINALS to death, or very lengthy prison terms

bounty44 -> RE: What is it with the hysteria? (2/9/2017 10:12:34 AM)
an oxymoron is an expression combining two contradictory or seemingly contradictory expressions. ive said stuff like this before but since you don't heed it, i'll say it again. nothing in life is perfect and finding rare examples do not disprove the general rule. if Christians do indeed murder or commit acts of terror, they do so in spite of their faith, not because of it. so yes, Christian terrorist is an oxymoron. loving your neighbor as yourself is not compatible with killing them. get it? further, since you seemed to have conveniently ignored other relevant parts of my post. people are not Christians just because you, or a website, or sometimes interestingly enough, even people themselves say they are. so now, given that you want to hold the position that these particular people were indeed Christians, please provide the essential evidence* of their Christianity.* if you cant and have to rely on the utterings of others who also cannot provide it, then you have essentially no case.

mnottertail -> RE: What is it with the hysteria? (2/9/2017 10:39:42 AM)
in spite of, for xtians, but because of for muslims, yet they share the same old testament and the urge by god to commit violence, and the vague formulaic passages that intimate violence thru Jeebus doings, they dont share. Seem like a horse apiece.

WhoreMods -> RE: What is it with the hysteria? (2/9/2017 11:02:03 AM)
quote: ORIGINAL: BoscoX quote: ORIGINAL: WhoreMods quote: ORIGINAL: BoscoX You are a moron. Christian text and laws forbid violence, Muslim texts (including 109 passages in the Koran) and laws demands violence. Any time you post that a "Christian" committed violence, he was acting against his alleged religion. I'd be interested to know where Deutoronomy, Leviticus, Exodus, or most of the rest of the old testament besides Ecclesiastes prohibits violence against unbelievers. Here Matthew Mark Luke John Acts (of the Apostles) Romans 1 Corinthians 2 Corinthians Galatians Ephesians Philippians Colossians 1 Thessalonians 2 Thessalonians 1 Timothy 2 Timothy Titus Philemon Hebrews James 1 Peter 2 Peter 1 John 2 John 3 John Jude Revelation None of which are the books I cited, sonny.

As always he is factless anyway. He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. Jeebus

That's Luke, isn't it? One of the books syrup boy is citing as proof of a nonviolent Bible, in fact.

jlf1961 -> RE: What is it with the hysteria? (2/9/2017 2:48:39 PM)
Funny thing, of the list I posted, doing any research on the organizations to which the so called "non christians" (as claimed by two users who found fault with my labeling) were affliated with, has either Christ or Christian in the name or profess a belief in christ in their statements, therefore, by any stretch of the title, the label fits. Now, did I say that these people actually were following the teachings of Christ, no more than the radicalized Muslims are following the true faith of Islam. What they (both groups) are using to justify their acts are verses taken from their preferred religious text out of context. The version of the Hadith as quoted by many to justify their accusations against ALL of Islam is a re edited version written by a man who was executed in Egypt for attempting to a assassinate President Nasser in the late 60's. It is no different that some Christian extremists using the verse in Mathew “Do not suppose I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have come not to bring peace, but a sword.” to justify violence against any and everyone that oppose them. The issue with any religion is that it can be twisted and perverted to justify everything from marrying a 13 year old girl (Warren Jeffs) to the murder of millions. The ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and Serbia was justified in part by religious beliefs, when the simple fact was that it was based more in 'racial purity' as was Hitler's action against the Jews in WW 2. But, more to the point, as some Christians are quick to quote: “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one" Luke 22:36 Which, seems contradictory to his statement in the Garden "He who lives by the sword shall die by the sword." Then on a different subject: Greta seems to think that Christianity is not oppressive to women, and while she is partly correct, I must point out that women who committed adultery were marked with an "A" for adulteress. For almost 1300 years that mean a brand on the right cheek. When you consider how they were treated for having that mark, death would have almost been a blessing. So, Christianity is far from clean. Even today. As for the current claim that Libs dont care about a gunman in a gay night club in Orlando, I find it almost absurd

Actually, Muse, it most certainly is coming from the left. Got a link to the "taking our guns" riot? The "stealing Christmas" riot? I fucking think not. I, on the other hand, could get you the "Trump isn't my President" riot, or the "a conservative might speak at Berkeley" riot" if I didn't know you fucking well know about them, but are choosing to be willfully ignorant. Jeezus. WTF is wrong with you guys?

A lecture from you is not needed. quote: ive said stuff like this before but since you don't heed it, i'll say it again. nothing in life is perfect and finding rare examples do not disprove the general rule. "Nothing is life is perfect" seems to be a defense you apply strictly to Christians but has no standing when you exclaim of the "murdering muslim hoards" who are a fiction of your childish imagination. The reason why they are rare is that I could not be arsed to list all of them. There are more. Your bias has rendered you blind to the well documented, violent war waged in the name of Christianity by demented Jesus followers. quote: if Christians do indeed murder or commit acts of terror, they do so in spite of their faith, not because of it. There is no "if" about it. "in spite of their faith" is your conjecture, which you offer without evidence. quote: so yes, Christian terrorist is an oxymoron. loving your neighbor as yourself is not compatible with killing them. get it? Jesus said: I came to fulfill the Law; not to destroy it. You cannot deny the murderous books of the Torah. They are the Law. quote: further, since you seemed to have conveniently ignored other relevant parts of my post. people are not Christians just because you, or a website, or sometimes interestingly enough, even people themselves say they are.

The evidence is in their life stories. Your ignorance of the vile and murderous side of the anti-abortion movement has been exposed, so you set up standards of evidence which you yourself are not competent to fulfill. You are truly a failed advocate for your position, and your position is indefensible.
