Terrorism

When it was released that the shooter in Norway was a Christian fundamentalist, Fox news responded by playing the martyr. Poor Christians being attacked by the "liberal" media, this should sicken you like it sickens me. The fact is, he was a Christian fundamentalist. Bill O'Reillly says that you can only be a Christian if somebody else says you are. He claims that declaring yourself a Christian does not count. I would like to remind him that Evangelicals, most of whom make up his audience, become "saved' by declaring that Christ is their savior and died for their sins. Most of the time in Christianity a personal declaration is not only all that is required, it is necessary to prove that you have indeed been "saved". Fox news can't' spend ten years spreading Islamaphobia by linking the actions of radical Muslims to the religion of Islam, and then get mad when someone says that the Norway terror attacks were linked to a radical Christian. The media are not in any way trying to link this guy with all Christians, they are simply reporting his motives. His motives which were set down in his own manifesto.

the other reason this bothers me is this. The Tea Party represent themselves as Christians, yet at a rally held Wednesday, I saw a sign that read "By ballot or by bullet". Hmm, Bill O'Reillly said that true Christians don't promote violence. So either these Tea Party members are not Christian or Christians do sometimes go to far.
