    I see the media’s extreme reluctance in calling white people “terrorists” continues.

        They ain’t no christian thank you very much. Else they’d avoid doing harm unto others, lying etc.

          Bit of a “No True Scotsman” fallacy, unfortunately. But I agree that many modern Christians do not espouse the teachings of Christ, but rather worship their own rules and prejudices. Just like the very people Christ admonished in their religious text.

            Yep, and it begins to me piss me off. I live in christian, religious country and sure, we also get these pricks. But the christianity has a little funny thing to it - it’s defined by the teachings it includes. And no matter how much you claim to be a christian, if you do not follow these teachings, then you are nothing but sinner. And it’s not like you cannot slip - but slipping and correcting yourself is different from…constantly slipping and retconing your faith so it serves your claims.

      It would suck to have citizens as terrorists in your own country. But here we are, even if the media doesn’t want to call them that.

        Absolutely. It’s like how if you’re poor and crazy, you’re crazy; but if you’re rich and crazy, you’re eccentric.
