Texas Church Shooter Was Atheist, Thought Christians ‘Stupid’
Breitbart ^ | 11/05/2017 | Bob Price

Posted on 11/06/2017 3:21:52 AM PST by Enlightened1

The man who shot and killed 26 people in a Texas church on Sunday is reported to be a creepy, crazy, and weird outcast who preached atheism online.

Former classmates of the Texas church shooter, Devin Patrick Kelley, said he was an atheist and outcast who thought Christians were stupid, the Daily Mail reported.

“He was always talking about how people who believe in God we’re stupid and trying to preach his atheism,” former New Braunfels High School classmate Nina Rose Nava posted on Facebook. She said she was in “complete shock” after learning Kelley was the killer. “I legit just deleted him off my fb cause I couldn’t stand his post.”

Facebook user Christopher Leo Longoria responded, saying, “I removed him off FB for those same reasons! He was being super nagtive (sic) all the timd (sic),” the news outlet reported.

Another classmate, Patrick Boyce, told the Daily Mail, “He was the first atheist I met. He went Air Force after high school, got discharged but I don’t know why.” He said Kelley seemed depressed lately. “He had a kid or two, fairly normal,” he said. “I was just shocked. Shill haven’t quite processed how he could have done that.”

Responding to Nava’s Facebook post, Michael Goff stated, “He was weird but never that damn weird, always posting his atheist sh** like Nina wrote, but damn he always posted pics of him and his baby — crazy.”

Nava described her former classmate as an outcast but not a loner. “He was popular among other outcast. I haven’t spoke to him since high school,” she wrote.

Sill another outcast, whose identity the Daily Mail kept private, said “I grew up going to school with him… Always creeped me out and was different.”

"He went Air Force after high school, got discharged but I don’t know why.”

From the Daily Beast: "Kelley was discharged from the Air Force in 2014, according to Defense Department records. Kelley was court-martialed in November 2012 for assaulting his wife and their child. A judge sentenced him with a bad-conduct discharge, 12 months confinement, and two reductions in rank to basic airman, according to an appeals court decision in 2013 that affirmed the decision against Kelley."

Atheists, the worst murderers of the 20th century.

To shoot innocent lives. Those victims are Christian martyrs. They died for their faith.

His name is common, and every Devin Kelley out there has to be reminded of this monster.

Atheist, leftist slant, but no confirmed links to Antifa yet.

Linking to Antifa would require a look at his online history. It is not as if Antifa keeps lists of people who affiliate with them.

There is no Antifa membership card.

This loser was prohibited by law from owning firearms. Yet several firearms were found in his vehicle.

So which is easier? Abrogating the Second Amendment and Confiscating 300 million firearms from law-abiding citizens - or enforcing gun laws and dealing with mentally ill losers?

Your move, worthless politicians.

Someone pulled Kelly’s voter registration and found that he identified with the UAF Party. What is the UAF Party? It is Unite Against Fascism (UAF)—Antifa—a party that originated in Britain. In Britain it was a party organized to oppose the British National Party which they characterized as fascist or neo-fascist. In America, anti Trump haters have compared his supporters to the British National Party, a comparison that is as extreme as the British National Party.

There are two powers only , sufficient to control menand secure the rights of individuals and a peaceable administration;these are....Noah Webster 1833 Common Version of the Holy Bible Robert Charles Winthrop finished What Webster published in a speech title The Bible or the Bayonet. Both men reflect what John Adams said to the Militia of Mass Oct.11,1798 We have NO government armed with power capable of contending with the passions of men unbridled by morality and religion. “ When John Adams spoke —even when Noah Webster and Robert Winthrop wrote as they did our schools still taught the founding principles of Christianity and Christian Morality. The Evil possessed trigger man was taught it was OK to turn from God. He died in his sins The Angels of God did “the right thing”
they answered an armed assault with an armed response.

This attack on Christians was in answer to the Christians offending the sensibilities of this atheist by worshiping on Sunday morning. The “Freedom from Religion” crowd thinks the killer was right.

Antifa - surfing yesterday I found several sites (never seen before) saying he was antifa basing it on his black uniform which is true but also saying they found an antifa flag and literature in the wrecked vehicle, info not released.

There has been false info already published such as the early word that he had killed his family before going to the church, and that he was a member of the church - all false.

From interviews with his former HS classmates we now know he was an atheist and ranted against Christianity and was “weird.”
