Evil is the embrace of Godlessness.

Very tragic. No justifiable reason to kill innocent people.

I agree. Now to get the Muslim communities to beat their chests when Christians are slaughtered by 10s of thousands by Muslims for their beliefs.

Not trying to obfuscate, but the commandment reads literally “ Thou shalt not murder” rather than “kill.” Now murder is what took place in New Zealand and should be rightfully condemned by not only either testament but also by secularists. But there are justified killings; self defense, protect others, free the enslaved etc.

Not to further obfuscate, but to build (for argument's sake) on the point of "justified killings"...it's pretty obvious that killing for the sake of promoting Religion is an essential part of Islam. Muhammad Himself, wielded a sword and had blood on His hands, as an example of all-in dutiful Belief and service toward promoting the Faith.

America has employed killing collateral innocents many times in our history; firebombing Dresden and nuking Japan come to mind. And of course, Obama's lethal drone attacks on terror targets, irrespective of their Families being destroyed too.

What has happening in this instance - and pisses people off - is that a single individual (assumedly alone) has taken upon Himself to determine just WHAT particular Ideological/Religious criteria justifies said killing as a means to an end. That is pretty much what Muhammad did, or our former and all POTUS. The Guy laid it out pretty clearly, as I heard Rush read a portion of the very complex and well thought out strategic Manifesto today. Sounded a lot like the Unibomber.

Much of the divisionary tactics that I heard in that Manifesto/Ideological reactionary strategy, will indeed be effective. The Race War stuff reminds me of Manson; though I think Manson was far more on a purely evil power trip, while this Guy is a more complex Ideological/Cultural reflection (Manson always said that He was a creation/reflection of Society) of our *justified* Ideological/Religious struggles, strategies and tactics (killing at the fore).

This stuff is very interesting...at least until our close loved ones are the 'collateral damage'. Then the real point of Jesus' admonitions to turn our cheek and love, in order to escape this particular version (Parallel Universe?) of Reality...weighs heavy as the preferable option.

Suggest you do some reading and research into what happened to Jesus when he tried to spread the gospel

I bet the Jews were involved.

The commandment is "Thou shall not kill"

That was from God.What the trump boys have made it is on them.

"And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?" - Blessed Mother Teresa (National Prayer Breakfast Speech - February 5, 1994)

Stop killing babies America. Stop the abortion and infanticide.

Repent and return to God

The brilliant Social Economist thinker Thomas Sowell, posited the idea of a "First Principle"; and that all secondary principles thereafter were determined by said First Principle.

There are but two possible Universal First Principles: the first being that a loving God exists as Spirit, and that all which we witness flows from that Source.

The second possibility is that Energy and Matter exist - having no Spiritual Consciousness - and that Humanity (complex life forms) flow/evolve from the interactions of those basic Sources.

For Secular Leftist Ideology (Egalitarian) to claim the high moral authority to institute Government to mitigate the inequality/injustice innate in the Natural Process (Lib's "life's lottery" of random chance), the Idea of God as being a just arbiter of an/the Individual's position in the Process...must be denied.

It is an undeniable truth that an individual's quality of life is directly dependent on their Genetic and Cultural beginning; though there will always be anomalies and extraordinary individuals who can by force of will and intellect, elevate QOL to extraordinary levels. And of course, the criteria of exactly what determines QOL, is subjective; as the essence of 'Feeling' reigns supreme. A particular individual dining on a pot of beans with real friends, may FEEL more thankful and blessed (happy) than DJT dining on caviar with High Rollers who would sell out friendship for a price.

For either the Secular Humanist Egalitarian Idea to claim that God is at the least, unjust and corrupt if it does exist...or the Atheist Idea of no God existing as the basis for claiming superior and absolute moral authority to mitigate the (supposed) injustice of Nature with a Collective Human Government...the Idea of God MUST be invalidated. Theologically, such an invalidation of God/God's moral authority would be the likely First Principle of Lucifer's original attack on God's true supremacy and absolute authority.

We're on our way to understanding this stuff. I suspect that given the possibilities of infinite Parallel Universes ("many mansions") and the possible Universal Axiom (Quantum Physics/Theory) that (Subjective) observation...directly AFFECTS the Empirical Reality...looks like we all may be the Spiritual and/or Worldly arbiter of our own chosen version of Reality. Perfect justice. Can't blame God...only our self. Fair enough.

No one is saying innocents should be intentionally killed, though, human shields are another thing.
The question is, are Muslims completely innocent, if the Muslim ethos, that in war, there are no innocents (civilians.) OBL is on record stating just because infidels are not on the battle line, they still are participating in the supply train of military means, and providing a chain of supply of soldiers to their cause. He was correct in logic, but incorrect as far as public opinion in a free country is concerned. Yet we are at war with an enemy is not in tune with freedom, as we see it. They see justification in killing unrepentant infidels,us, as enemy combatants. We self obligate ourselves to fighting with one hand tied behind our backs.

Liberals need to stop forcing different cultures to live together. One culture will be the dominant one and everyone will suffer .
