My Favorite Ridiculous Thing Written By A Conservative Over This Past Weekend

Erick Erickson nails it:

"Secular leftists and Islamists are both of this world. Christians may be traveling through, but we are most definitely not of the world. In fact, Christ commands us to throw off our ties to this world. But the things of this world love this world and hate the things of God. That’s why secular leftism can embrace both activist homosexuals and activist muslims when the latter would, when true to their faith, be happy to kill the former."

2. their logic alone is enough to kill.

4. It's not excused.

Matthew 7:21Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.
That is quote from Christ concerning what will happen to those who use his Name and don't follow God's Law.
The Norway Shooter, along with all those others from the Templars on down to any who called themselves "Christian" while breaking God's Law did NOT follow Christ's teachings.
Christ knew there would be people like this and gave warning.
I feel this conservative murderer from Norway worshiped his politics over anything else.

5. I'm not a Christian, but I have to agree.

I'd also like to add remember the parable of the sheep and goats. Those he condemned said something like "Lord Lord did we not heal the sick in your name and drive out demons in your name?" And he replied I do not know. Depart from me accursed ones." At least in this specific case, though religion is a very dangerous thing when combined with politics. The Voltaire quote is very true.
