I was intrigued by a profiler’s assessment of the crime – that because he blamed others for what he did not have, he externalized his actions and acted out against all women by killing those who who were pretty and fit and happy. Someone who blamed only himself would kill only himself. The thought process of people who kill are not the same as ‘most’ people.
I am an atheist but I was once told, by my God-believing brother, than I will be going to heaven because he loves me. A relief!

Personally, I don’t understand why people can’t comprehend that you can accept people without sharing their beliefs. I’m all for having strong beliefs (I think by most standards I would be considered religious), and damn if I don’t appreciate a good debate. But that doesn’t mean I love the people I debate with any less.

Something tells me this guy isn’t winning anyone to his cause. Some people just don’t get life.

::sigh::

I’m in full support of average people never being able to touch a gun.

Also, if I was religious, I’d totally be a member of the UU church.

I personally do believe in Jesus, but that’s me. I totally respect your religion, and I hope that other Christians don’t give you crap. =( And I love the photo – is it a lightbulb? That’s what it looks like to me! =)
