Terrible. But I can't really get too upset about these anymore. My emotional energy for this is just drained, and no one actually cares to do anything to stop these mad shooting sprees.

If no one else cares to change anything to stop them, than I can't continue to invest my energy.

It's all just part of the landscape of America now.

atheism is a motive?


When shooting up a Church sure I guess? Look at the vile stuff posted on here towards religion. I’m an atheist myself and think the "war on Christianity" is a crock of shit but I’ve definitely encountered plenty who are simply filled with hatred towards religion and Christianity in particular.

Not saying that is what happened here, but from what we know so far not outside the realm of possibilities.

You're a real piece of work.

Two kinds of people visit atheist sites: atheists, and theists who debate atheists.

So much fake information instantly springing up on this. The filth people spread is starting to bother me. It's all a smoke screen to later fuel conspiracy theories and nut jobs.

2 Atheist links were listed in "Other" Favorites on his FB.

He also liked "Glock" and The history channel.


Is it possible that austrian gun manufacturers and too much history channel caused this tragedy?

you guess? feel free to starting looking into it.

atheists are forced to confront theists because theists are hell bent on forcing their personal beliefs on others.

i have never interfaced with an atheist who wanted to convert anyone, and definitely not violently. theists on the other hand...well, just browse the world news.

I mean, it's not impossible the shooter was a kook still angry that his parents go to church, but it's wayyyy too soon to pin a motive. Remember the people insisting the Las Vegas shooter must've been ISIS?

Perhaps he thought he was a victim of the theists as you seem to and this was his way of lashing back?

Atheism
Islam
Christianity

These are tertiary to why this happened.

He knew someone or someone’s at that church that he had a negative relationship with whom he decided to enact his rage on.

Vile? Funny, truthful, biting but never seen any Vileness. But I guess it depends on your definition of vile.

Scott Pruitt would be my definition of Vile. He is a foul, nasty, unpleasant, bad, disagreeable, horrid, horrible, dreadful, abominable, atrocious, offensive, obnoxious, odious, unsavory, repulsive, disgusting, distasteful, loathsome, hateful, nauseating, sickening; disgraceful, appalling, shocking, sorry, shabby, shameful, dishonorable, execrable, heinous, abhorrent, deplorable, monstrous, wicked, evil, iniquitous, nefarious, depraved, debased; contemptible, despicable, reprehensible, lowdown, excuse for a human being.

We need some serious friggin mental health reform in this nation as much as anything else. Comprehensive care does not exist for the vast majority of people.

Good luck with that. When one party courts that vote, ain't nothin' gonna happen.

Have you seen the programs on History Channel?

Anywahy, if only the shooter stood next to smokers longer and died, this would have been averted.

Every day I'm thinking more and more that we need to come up with a way to address this on social media platforms. The speed with which totally crazy bullshit can spread is unbelievable...the stuff I hear from people now. I don't know what the exact solution is but we need to start looking.

Lol wtf is "mental health reform". Are you going to have some kind of task force of psychologists go out and give MMPIs to every person in the country? You think that would work?


If your posts are any indication the first thing we need is better education in this country.

Probably. Might have found out his wife cheated or something. At this point all we can do is speculate.

im not a victim, just pragmatic.

you can speculate about his man toaster love while your at it.

meanwhile, reality demands more from an atheist, so if you're gonna be one, start using that old noggin.
