Since the Virginia Tech shootings, there has been so much talk from the religious right about how it’s a result of our godless classrooms (even Rush Limbaugh has jumped on that bandwagon), our vocal atheists, and countless other issues the poor, persecuted Christians find offensive. All of these living examples of morality are quite overlooking the killer’s own words:
“You have vandalized my heart, raped my soul and torched my conscience,” he says, apparently reading from his manifesto. “You thought it was one pathetic boy’s life you were extinguishing. Thanks to you, I die like Jesus Christ, to inspire generations of the weak and the defenseless people.”
It’s the same, tired Christian hypocrisy. When their religion inspires something positive, they are quick to hold it up as an example of all that is great and good about their precious beliefs. When it inspires something negative, they conveniently ignore that little fact while laying the blame on the non-believers instead. And they wonder why so many atheists are sick of the self-righteous tripe that comes out of so many Christian mouths.
