Radio reports indicate that he confessed to the killings, and that he claimed his motive had something to do with his "sex addiction".

I will not even begin to speculate what that means.

... ah... the Ted Bundy defense...



Didn't work well for Bundy, though.

From what i know of those who follow religions dogmatically
some can be so engrossed in their religion, that they take on board the moral values
to the extent that they start to hate people who don't have the same life values as themselves.

I have known various religious fanatics over the years, including some who are dogmatic,
and some who condone the use of violence who they perceive as "evil" or "bad", while they
perceive themselves as "righteous" and "good", "valiant", "Gods chosen", the sole owner of "The TRUTH"
and the only true way.

The perception of such people can be extremely twisted, and in some cases, such individuals will twist
what ever evidence there is to portray the object or person of their hate, as the guilty party that has broken
the golden rules, sometimes even referring to holy scriptures or stories in order to justify their unholy actions.

For example, I have had people try and murder me in the past for all sorts of things, including:

drinking coke
wearing leather shoes
being married to someone who those who tried to murder me wanted to be married to
viewing legal porn (and being honest that i viewed it, rather than pretending I did not and lying to everyone).

One guy, a Hare Krsna, literally tried to murder me based on the fact that i drank coke (i don't any more as it happens) and owned a pair of leather shoes.

One guy also referred to bible stories about King David, who got a woman's husband killed on battle so that he could then have his wife. Referring himself as the "King" and righteous, with me, as the deserving underdog criminal.

So you see, people see what they want to see.

I believe this is what psychologists refer to as models of perception. A model is a framework superimposed over reality, that gives the person perceiving life through the model secret meaning that sometimes only makes sense to the individual.

Christians generally aren't taught to be violent in our day and age.
But I guess, some, who may lean towards gun enthusiasm who also may be psychologically vulnerable or perceive the world in an irrational way may be vulnerable to committing such crimes based, driven to do so by their own perceptions of the world around them and the people within in that world.

I also note that the crime was committed on a 9th. Which may have significance to the person who committed the crime, or may be significant to people who may have set the guy up to commit such a crime, as I believe such people do exist, including some who subscribe to ritual occult models of perception.

Inciting or pushing someone over the edge in order to commit such a crime is their game.
I believe I am also preyed upon by such sadists, who believe their sadistic actions of attempting to set me up to commit a crime (entrapment) is "magic" or at the very least, portrays the image that they have "magic" powers.
(when the only real magic is that they are a part of the human anatomy personified. a hairy, smelly part found in the rectum).

Yes, no magic. Just sadistic sociopaths who get off on hurting people and causing mayhem. Sad bad people.

Id say ask any gay person about the violence christians are taught but i have seen your homophobic posts so that point seems to be lost on you.

Nevertheless, the christian manifesto is literally FILLED with violence, calls to murder, rape, genocide, slavery, etc. To suggest christians arent taught violence is pure ignorance

Atlanta shooting suspect Robert Long: What to know
Quote:
As details emerge following the mass shooting that took place in the Atlanta area on Tuesday, in which eight people were killed, former classmates of the suspect, Robert Aaron Long, are expressing shock at the news.

"He was a totally different person in school," Jonathan Desire, who graduated with Long, told Fox News on Wednesday. "Quiet, calm, and collected."

Classmates said they were shocked at the news.

Desire also described Long as religious and added that he "definitely wouldn’t have expected this behavior from him."

"Definitely shocking," he said.

Taylor Leigh-Carlucci, a female classmate, said that while she never knew Long "super personally," she remembers seeing him in school and described him as "quiet and really to himself."

After talking to friends, no one would have expected this from him. People [called] him caring, and he was involved in the FCA group at school."

Leigh-Carlucci shared photos of Long from her yearbooks, including one that shows a quote from him saying he felt like God was calling him to be a "leader in the church."

Another male classmate who spoke on the condition of anonymity said he didn't know Long "too well," but based on the photo released by police circulating in the news said "he looks completely different" than he did in high school.

"From what I can remember he was a really smart kid," he said. "He was really quiet and kept to himself the majority of the time. I didn’t run with the same crowd as him and didn’t know him personally, but he didn’t have a ton of friends and really kept to himself."

Long was a member of Crabapple First Baptist Church in Milton, Georgia, and social media posts obtained by The Daily Beast and Heavy.com show him speaking about his baptism.

"As many of you may remember, when I was eight years old, I thought I was becoming a Christian and got baptized during that time. And I remember a lot of the reason for that is a lot of my friends in my Sunday school class were doing that," Long appeared to say in the video, according to The Daily Beast. "And after that time, there wasn't any fruit from the root that is our salvation.“

I'm expecting America to go back to having a mass shooting per day just like before the pandemic.

In fact it might get worse as more unhinged lone wolves start losing their grip on reality.

Not really.  A rough estimate can be had by comparing the number of people claiming to be "Evangelicals" to the number of mass killings in the same year.

2010 Population: 308,401,808
2010 Evangelical: ~25% or 77,100,452
2010 Number of mass killings: 6

(Various random sources.  Your results may vary.)

Sadly nothing brings out the bigots like a tragedy. People are quickly divided up by skin color, religious beliefs, genders and on and on to purposely smear some and mourn or favor others. Prejudgments are by people presupposing to understand the motives and thoughts of people based on their skin color, gender and religious beliefs claiming it must be a hate crime. These bigots pretend to know what happened and why. Then the slurs start. They claim the person is racist or sexist or God forbid Christian or Evangelical and is a "neckbeard" or has ASD or is toxic or a terrorist or owns a gun. The obvious intention is to smear all people of that gender, skin color, religious belief and worldview. It's evil.

A white male Christian with a neckbeard, homicidal tendencies, and an addiction to sex.

Anything else?

Thanks for making my point. The bigoted slurs continue.



He is a he
He is white
He has a neckbeard
He identifies as christian evangelical
He murdered a bunch of people so homicidal tendencies are evidenced
He admitted to sex addiction

There is no more bigotry in those posts than saying "water is wet".

Try again.
I think youll get the hang of this in good time.
