Do More Christians Than Muslims Blow Up People Every Single Day? Tavis Smiley Weighs In

...Tavis Smiley mentions Columbine and yet, there is no indication in the least bit that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were Christians and very much evidence that they were not.

On the day of the massacre Harris wore a t-shirt which read, “Natural Selection” and this was no mere t-shit but indicative of their atheistic/Darwinian worldview. Eric Harris wrote, “YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE??? Natural SELECTION! It's the best thing that ever happened to the earth. Getting rid of all of the stupid and weak organisms.” Dylan Klebold wrote the following in reference to a football player, “He doesn't deserve the jaw evolution gave him. Look for his jaw. It won't be on his body.” It is also reported that Harris described how he and Dylan Klebold “would enforce natural selection in their school” and Harris wrote that they would “kick natural selection up a few notches…Show them who is god.”

Also, note that these—according to Tavis Smiley—Christians, entered the Columbine High School library and asked “Does anyone here have a faith in Christ?” They specifically asked Cassie Bernall, “Do you believe in God?” and she answered “Yes, I believe in Jesus.” They then asked her “Why?” but they murdered her before she could respond. For details and more likewise examples see Atheism on Meaning and Purpose

Some people, such as Dan Barker, have asked questions such as, “Why is no one calling the Oklahoma City bombing suspects ‘Christian terrorists’?” he asked this because of his assertion that Timothy McVeigh was “a God believing Catholic.” Well, I do not know why except, perhaps, that McVeigh was an agnostic—see Was Timothy McVeigh a God Believing Catholic and a "Christian Terrorists"? - Part 1 of Dan Barker and the Alien Rape Voyeurs. As per usual, Dan Barker ends up discrediting himself.

Knowing pop culture and the sorts of atheist who define “atheism” as “anti-Christianity” the real problem is not that he is stunningly mistaken but how many people will come to his defense and besmirch Christianity.

Liberals seem to only be aware of the latest terrorist incident. They have no memory of any previous incidents. So to them, one Muslim terrorist attack is not enough to constitute a pattern.

It's called "arguing from a position of ignorance." I completely agree with your point, but the problem isn't just with atheists. It's everyone. There are misconceptions carried and spread about every religion. A few that spring to mind: Christians are all about converting everyone on the planet, Jews are greedy swindlers, Buddhists are atheists, Muslims are peace-loving...

Oh good grief!

You can always tell how commited to Marxist ideology a person is by the blinding lies he tells!!!

It’s been going on since before Alger Hiss and hasn’t changed a damn bit since even after their God, the Soviet Union,fell.

Muslims suicide bombers are a weekly event yet the only examples of so called Christian bombers the anti-Christian crowd can provide are a couple of nutjobs from the 90’s.

Tavis Smiley is such a slick, treasonous loon.

Why are the “liberals” and “progressives” always setting the agenda for the press and media? Why are they in charge of the culture?

Culture sets the agenda for politics and government control.

When will conservatives and Republicans learn this and learn how to outsmart the Dims and gain some control of the culture and media?

“Why are the “liberals” and “progressives” always setting the agenda for the press and media? Why are they in charge of the culture?”

Because they have made a deliberate and concerted effort to put themselves in charge of the culture. They support each other and are willing to use any means to further their goals.

Conservatives are starting to regain some of the new media, but there is a long way to go. The first step is to understand that the MSM has long been owned by “progressives”, and that they lie without compunction.

Tavist Smiley, like your typical lefty, is math-challenged. He says there are so many more examples of Christians going into buildings and blowing people up in the U.S. Of course, there are far more Christians than Muslims here, and the scale of 9/11 attacks were far different from post office murders.

Express the numbers in a standard fashion (e.g. per 100,000 people) and they will sure look different.

Just imagine going thru life with a misspelled first name. The guy is an idiot. I debate him at the Midnite book store in Santa Monica back in 96. And shut him down.

Tavis Smiley would be selling apples on a street corner if it weren’t for tax supported public tv. He is a racist, lib, moonbat loon.

Just because they are non-muslim Americans doesn't make them Christians.

Christianity and Judaism commands you not to commit murder...
islam instructs you when, where and how to slaughter your fellow man.

According to a book I read about Rachael Joy Scott (the first to be killed at Columbine) the killers routinely mocked christians for their faith. So I dont get the idea that the Climbine killers were christians. The idea the McVeigh was a “God believing Catholic” is absurd.
