Domestic Christian terrorists captured:
“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.
The three admitted to being in a core group of seven that created the explosive weapon as a test to draw attention to the demise of society and to see whether the device would work, Havens said.
“They believe that the past generations have accumulated trash and are responsible for making younger generations clean up their mess,” he said. “They’re trying to make a statement and get society’s attention regarding that.”
That’s why two of the men said they were involved in an earlier fire in a recycling bin at CentrePoint Church on Alsbury Road, Singleton said. That fire burned the materials in the bin but did not damage the church, he said.
The First Rule of Christ Club is . . . .
In the past, many Protestant (and proto-Protestant) movements have sought to return Christianity to its early condition, divorced from the Rococo encrustations of the Catholic Church. This is the first time I’ve heard of one specifically targeting physical “trash” instead of “idols,” and the first one that includes consensual fighting among its tenets, but mix in a little Fight Club and Live Earth, and I suppose that this is what you get: burned feet.
Christians attempting arson, ha, ha. That’s funny. Good thing they’re not Moslems or you’d still be crapping your pants.
“…divorced from the Rococo encrustations of the Catholic Church.”
Bwaa haha, scraped off of me like so many medieval barnacles, I say!
These morons are a clear indicator that Rosie O’Donnell’s clarion call about “…a problem in this country with Christian terrorists” was over hyped war mongering, not even worthy of any military involvement or even upper law enforcement. Sheriffs, I say! Let the local constabulatory handle it!
Also, everybody in the Christ Club knows that if you’re going to burn some trash, through in some Harry Potter books and Marilyn Manson CD’s.
FOR THE CHILDREN!
That was weak, david, even for you. Too bad you couldn’t have included an accusation of racism to spice it up, eh?
Perhaps that’s more to your taste, David:
In Iraqi Hamlet, a funeral in every house. Enjoy!

Holy Craptastic Terrorism, david!
You are so right! How could we have missed, over the last five years, all of those Radical Christian (RC) beheadings, and RC riots to kill those who insult Jesus and RC truck bombings that kill hundreds in the name of Jesus and those RC’s flying planes into buildings and bombing nightclubs because they are expression of sin and … and … and …
Um…
Never mind.
DaveDavid conveniently proves the central tenant of leftism: Zero perspective, zero accountability. Trooth!Wonder how long it’ll take the God-haters to now admit a difference between their usual equating Islamofascists with Christian fundamentalists — I believe the term is godbags — and this golden opportunity to equate these fruitcakes with Islamofascists.
Nah, that’d take both perspective and accountability for one’s words. Kinda like
DaveDavid’s challenge.Maybe because of the leftist
dogmanarrative,DaveDavid? Because of the nuanced trooth.From the article:
I’m no terrorism expert by any stretch of the imagination, but isn’t a name the first thing a group of radicals should think about first?
Actually, david, it is funny in a grim sort of way. We aren’t slapping our knees, though.
You and the rest of the Left crap all over yourselves at any hint that the “xtianist godbotherers” might complain at being the target of baseless accusations and gratuitous insults, then you start flinging your product at random: RESIST TEH THEOCRATIC PATRIARCHY! Curiously enough, you have no similar reactions to Muslims, even when they violate what you say are the most sacred precepts of your own ideology. Of course, Muslims react to criticism by killing the critics, when they can. We have long suspected that this might be causal.
It is an elementary rule of human conduct that nothing succeeds like success. If Muslims are immune to criticism because they’ll blow their critics to doll rags, others stung by your rhetoric are likely to seek the same status. To make it perfectly clear: we do not approve in any case, be it Muslim, Christian, Environmentalist, or the Brazilian Electrician Liberation Front. But our enthusiasm for hunting down the perps is likely to be somewhat tempered by schadenfreude, just as yours is when (as you see it) the Imperialist Oppressors get their comeuppance from the Oppressed.
An essential component of “justice” is a certain rough symmetry of action and consequence. Do enjoy your life.

Ric
I’m a big fan of the contrapasso.
Perhaps
DaveDavid has little interest in justice, action and consequence, symmetry, or, therefore, accountability, Ric?Because such balance and introspection and perspective defy Trooth and we surely cannot have that — this article will likely become the most-linked page from Huffingblow this month.
THEY ARE NOT FUCKING TERRORISTS !!!
At best, they are diverse people of activities.
Other than “admitting” to being Christian, the rest of their activities seem like teenagers being teenagers.
Or, is it alright to call them terrorists because they “admit” to being Christians ?
You got it JD. However, there is really NOTHING Christian about them. The left’s biggest problem, and consequently EVERYONE’S problem, is their absolute refusal to see the fundamental differences between TRUE Christians and TRUE Muslims. We need Christians to be actually more dedicated to the teachings of Christ and muslims to be less dedicated to the teachings of muhammed. This would be a better world indeed.
And, for the terminally dumb, I am not saying that all Muslims are bad. The Muslims who call themselves Muslims who disavow their founder’s insidious deeds, for whatever reason, are needed more than ever. I just don’t consider them true Muslims. Neither do the islamonuts.
“We need Christians to be actually more dedicated to the teachings of Christ and muslims to be less dedicated to the teachings of muhammed”
Like, just maybe a muslim reformation? I know, Dan, but the reformation brought needed (and church acknowledged) reforms for Catholics as well. However you slice it, the Muslim “originalist” movement of Taymiyya, Wahab and Qutb is based upon an intellectual stagnation of epic proportions and results in throwing away every tenet of Western liberal representative government in deference to a totalitarian theocracy that would make Stalinist Russia look like Sweden.
Although the destruction of the silly World of High Fashion is curiously tempting…
FATWA! BURKA! BURKA!
Now, david’s funny.
On the thread about the airman who was shot, the politics of the person who shot him are irrelevant, we’re told. Going there is politicizing a tragedy. No generalizations should be made about an obviously deranged individual.
Because the Left, as we all know, is all about individuals.
But let there be a Christian outfit that undertakes a terrorist activity, and well, you know about those Christians! Really, they’re all just hankering to blow up an abortion clinic or setting fire to a dumpster.
Because Christian, you see, are all of a piece. Ain’t no individuals there.
Heh.
