TBH this sounds a lot like you, BRTD

You're suggesting that BRTD is Timothy McVeigh?  McVeigh faked his own execution, in order to go into hiding, so that he'd have time to make 70,000 posts on a political forum?

You're suggesting that BRTD is Timothy McVeigh?  McVeigh faked his own execution, in order to go into hiding, so that he'd have time to make 70,000 posts on a political forum?

Let's look at the undeniable facts:

June 11, 1962: Clarence Anglin, John Anglin and Frank Morris successfully escape from Alcatraz
June 11, 1977: James Earl Ray successfully escapes from prison
...
April 19, 1995, 10:03: McVeigh bombs Murrah Federal Building, killing ~150; damages several bldgs
June 11, 2001, 07:14: McVeigh "executed"
December 25, 2003, 17:15: UTAGE Flight 141 "crashes" in Benin, killing ~150; damages several bldgs
December 25, 2003, 23:32: "BRTD" Registers

Deeply disturbing!

Also important: When I first registered here, I thought for sure that the name "BRTD" was some kind of spoof of the BTK killer.

Bushie no one gives a rats ass about OK.  No one thinks about people inOK like you do.  It's  a joke town in a joke state. 

Enjoy your celebration, no one else gives a flying f[inks].

Rogers and Hammerstein think it's fabulous, you grumpy old man.

You are free to have your opinions, but I can tell you the vast majority of Americans do not agree with you.

I can tell you the vast majority of Americans probably can't locate Oklahoma on a map.

CHRISTIAN TERRORISM

Timothy McVeigh was a self described agnostic.

Yea I forgot.  McVeigh isn't a real Christian because he hurt people and real Christians don't hurt people and therefore McVeigh wasn't a real Christian because he hurt people and real Christians don't hurt people and therefore McVeigh wasn't a real Christian because he hurt people and real Christians don't hurt people and therefore McVeigh wasn't a real Christian because he hurt people and real Christians don't hurt people and therefore McVeigh wasn't a real Christian because he hurt people and real Christians don't hurt people and therefore McVeigh wasn't a real Christian because he hurt people and real Christians don't hurt people and therefore McVeigh wasn't a real Christian because he hurt people and real Christians don't hurt people and therefore McVeigh wasn't a real Christian because he hurt people...

[they don't love you like i love you]

Um no that wasn't my point at all. McVeigh wasn't a real Christian because he didn't identify as one. Even the comment Griff highlighted doesn't do so, he was a Deist at best: http://www.patheos.com/Resources/Additional-Resources/Timothy-McVeigh-Was-Not-a-Christian-Terrorist.html

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

Nah, I don't buy that you aren't trying to hint at that.  As described before, he didn't identify as an agnostic until he was in jail. 

[they don't love you like i love you]

He didn't identify as a Christian either.

[they don't love you like i love you]

Furthermore it's undeniable the OKC bombing was motivated by his anti-government beliefs and nothing to do with Christianity.

Do you guys seriously think that:

1-McVeigh believed in the divinity of Jesus and
2-That is the reason he did his bombing?

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

He didn't identify as a Christian either.

"Identifying with the core beliefs" of Catholicism doesn't qualify in your book?  The person who describes himself as a non-religious follower of Jesus?  

C'mon, man.  I know you love this Jesus character but he's not a preclusion to being a monster.

And the vast majority wouldn't take 2 seconds to try and find it.

It doesn't matter.  The point is that Christians can do awful things as well, but when it happens the No True Scotsman crap starts every time.  

[dead0man]

The point BRTD is making is that he may or may not have been a Christian, but he certainly didn't do it in the name of his religion.  He had other horrible motivations, but religion and specifically Christianity, was not it.

I'm well aware.  And no, BRTD is making a point to conclude that he wasn't a Christian and he plays this No True Scotsman game a lot when it comes to Christians who commit terrible acts. 

[dead0man]

I don't think we have enough information to know what he did (or didn't) worship, but we do have enough to know he didn't do his terrorist act in the name of whatever that religion may have been.

That said, there certainly are people who we do know were Christians that did do horrible things in the name of their lord.

[Hatman 🍁]

Doesn't matter what he called himself guys, he's a White. That makes him a Christian terrorist!

If McVeigh was a brown and was raised a Muslim, you better believe he'd be considered a Muslim Terrorist, no matter if he called himself an Agnostic.

[they don't love you like i love you]

By some idiots maybe. By me? No.

And I'm not sure if even that'd be widespread, I've never heard the Popular Front of the Liberation of Palestine described as Muslim terrorists for example.

BRTD: Christian apologist!

BRTD: Christian apologist!

One of the reasons he fits in so perfectly on this forum.

I love this thread. Bushie makes a tribute to remember the bombings and proceeds to go on a rant about how Oklahoma is unfairly treated on this forum!

Welcome back, friend!

He needs banned.
