O’Reilly, apparently, thinks it is impossible for a Christian to be a terrorist.

Slashdot | The Oslo Massacre and Violent Video Games

Media hysteria is once again blaming a real life massacre on violent video games. But looking at every single gaming reference in the Oslo killer’s manifesto shows that such accusations are ridiculous. He played games to unwind from plotting and used them to mask his activities.

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

We started out with a terrorist attack…  But once folks discovered that he was a Christian instead of a Muslim, he became an extremist and it’s just a massacre now…

And now it isn’t because he was a Christian fundamentalist, it’s once again the fault of violent video games.

The fact of the matter is that this guy was a Christian fundamentalist.  A right-wing extremist.  No amount of spin is going to change that.  You may very well be able to deflect attention away from that fact, but you can’t change it.

This was a terrorist attack.  The man was a terrorist.  He was trying to use terror to force a change in policy – that’s pretty much the definition of terrorism.

But we’re going to minimize it and sweep it under the rug and pretend like this isn’t a serious problem…  Because he’s Christian, and so are a bunch of folks here in America.

Stupid.

So, obviously, The Rapture didn’t happen.

Can’t say I’m terribly surprised.

And I won’t be surprised when Harold Camping slinks away completely unscathed – just like he did back in 1994.  He makes his predictions, scares people, collects some money, and then disappears for a few years.

It’d simply be an amusing sidenote if people didn’t take him seriously…  Oh, look, another doomsday kook… Unfortunately, people do take him seriously.

Judgement day is May 21st, 2011.  The Bible guarantees it!  Hope you’re ready to meet your maker…

I’m not a religious guy, so Easter has never been a very big deal for me.  An excuse for cards and candy, but that’s about it.

Apparently I’ve been overlooking an important part of the Easter narrative though – the zombies!

⁵¹ At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split ⁵² and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. ⁵³ They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

I guess I’ve got something to celebrate this weekend after all – the zombie uprising of 33 AD!
