does ''raised a Christian'' have the same meaning as 'he was a Christian'?Why would I have a bigotry against Christians when I am a Christian, lock, stock, and barrel?I say you do, it looks like a bigotry against Christians.Really now? Hmmm....uhhhh, he preferred the confederate Flag....? Not the flag that is represented at this time, by a Black President...
He said he hated the US Flag because of black thugs and the media....
Didn't you read his manifesto?
And ALSO, 10 to 1....he WAS raised a Christian.
His life story says differently but that would ruin your bigotry.
I don't have an ounce of bigotry in me, can you say the same about yourself with confidence?
Everyone has bigotry and prejudice based on life experience. I am bigoted against people with a lot of tattoos or piercings, just wasn't part of my world growing up.
This guys bigotry was not against Christians as the right wingers are trying to claim in several threads now to obfuscate and confuse the confusable...
He wrote about ALL that he hated and it was never once mentioned by him that he had any hatred towards Christians....but he did hate black people, Jews etc...so why not call a spade a shovel, a fig a fig?
I been called a right winger and I don't think his bigotry was against Christians, but his killing 9 Christians leads me to believe he isn't a Christian. Also it is not very Christ like to hate other races. So, whether the guy said he is a Christian or not has no bearing on his shooting Christians.
The labeling aspect of people is pretty crazy to me. I know people raised in certain religions and they left the religion.
For you to lay odds that he was raised a Christian is very curious to say the least.
For you to claim there is not an ounce of bigotry is silly, especially if you claim to be a Christian. I try not to be bigoted, but I know I am human, I also know bigotry isn't assigned just to race but can encompass many areas. Like I said, it has taken awhile to not be bigoted by tattoos.
I can't claim perfection in this aspect as you do.
