real christian values: set other churches on fire

the fort worth star telegram tells us the story of true christians and the arson they commit:

three burleson men who belong to a "radical christian activist group" were in the johnson county jail on friday night after a church deacon caught two of them attempting to ignite an explosive device on independence day at a church under construction in north burleson, authorities said friday.

dayton lee calaway, 19, and michael philip plaisted jr., 18, were arrested wednesday night near the victory family church after they got bogged down in mud as a fleet-footed deacon chased them from the church in the 400 block of northwest john jones drive, police said…

an explosive device in a glass container was found propped against the church door. the suspects apparently tried to detonate the device twice before being interrupted by the deacon, police and burleson fire marshal stacy singleton said…

cmdr. chris havens, the police department spokesman, said the suspects boasted about belonging to a leaderless group of 10 or 15 who share a belief that society has become too focused on self-improvement and self-gratification and has lost focus on the glorification of god.
"they admit to being christian and being brought up christian, but they believe there should be one denomination and one church, not multiple denominations," havens said.

"they did not say they had a name for their group, other than they were a radical christian activist group. that was the way they explained their group," he said.

the suspects said the group has three levels of involvement: bible study, consensual fighting and destructive acts. because one of their beliefs is free thought, however, participation in all three levels is not mandatory, they told police.

but these aren't terrorists or anything...they're christians!

Oh c'mon now skippy... these guys don't sound that dangerous - they couldn't even come up with a NAME fer cryin' out loud.

What worries me is how badly the Christians are getting their asses kicked when it comes to demonstrations of faith. These guys couldn't even get a "jar-bomb" to work while the Muslims are blowing themselves up every single goddam day. Theologically speaking, our side is starting to look like pussies.

While on vacation in the land of Florida this past week (both parents are well and it's still humid there, thanks for asking), I was able to watch a full three minutes of The View, which is a record for me because the show really is a horror film. It took no more than two and a half minutes of that viewing before that witless, talentless idiot Elizabeth Hasselbeck started complaining about how Christians are so oppressed. My sympathies were startlingly unengaged by her whine.

So the underlying theory of this group is that God likes a Big Bang?

The amazing thing is that not one media outlet outside of Texas has run anything about this.

Therein lies the difference between the Islamic wackogelicals and the kkkreeshchyin wackogelicals: The Islamic ones willingly blow themselves up for their god while the kkkreeshchyin ones are willing to blow everyone ELSE up for theirs. Doesn't say much for either bunch. Seems to me that Jesus didn't have a lot to say about blowing anyone up; He led a pretty peaceable, live and let live life. Makes ya wonder if these so-called "christians" ever cracked the Gospels open, even once.
