Expect crickets.
That's what I got when I posted this earlier.
Well of course his motives are going to get crickets. No one wants to admit Christian extremism exists, let alone Christian terrorists.
The other option is for dialogue for excuses a la "conspiracy to make us look bad" or similar because Christians are perfect and never violent.

Does Jesus preach eye for an eye? This man is religious yet doesn't follow the religion and openly sins assuming no matter what he does he will be saved. Clearly he is delusional.

Is this where I invoke Godwin's law and point out that Hitler said he was a Christian too?
Are you expecting someone to come to his defense?

My point was that the people arguing over that fact after the article was posted had already written you off because of the established bias.
I posted the link prior to that post and it went pages without being acknowledged.

it is not based on christian scriptures. Jesus;(he's the dude the religion is named after) forbid an individual from taking it upon them self to prosecute the law by being judge jury and executioner of transgressors. That is the job of the state.

13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

ya well, during the nam war if I remember right people were doing some rather unkind things to the troops when they came home, using about the same excuse. I don't believe that was accepted any more than what you are suggesting is now as a defense.
