Friends say Minnesota shooting suspect was deeply religious and conservative

[slightlv]

35. I resent the use of the phrase "deeply religious"

in reference to this man (and I use THAT term loosely!). He was a heretical fanatic. He was the xtian equivalent of an Islamist terrorist. I'm not a christian, so I guess I don't have a dog in that show... but I AM spiritual. And nowhere, except in those Fundamentalist Fanatical madrassas would this pass as "deeply religious."

With all that's going on, and no help for the weak, the weary, the poor, the exploited... I'm finally coming "this" close to being totally atheist. It's the old "good vs evil" thing... there is too much evil for a god to exist. And I feel a real loss at that piece of... what... innocence, naiveté... that has been stolen from me. When each day the news is as it has been, with no checks on trumpy's evil deeds, I can't believe in anything but ourselves... and even that falters at times. I'm in the real heartbreak period. It's just one more unexpected disillusionment in this phase of my life. I despise trump and the magats for what they've done... ALL that they've done, tho some of it has never been mentioned, nor ever will be.
