Think about it. Jesus Christ was the Messiah but he was shunned as a heretic. Plato and philosophers at that time were thought as crazy, but there principles set the basis of a true commonwealth. He rightly realized that the federal government was corrupt, and had the courage to act on it. Though he did kill innocent people, he stood up to the government.

Probably not and I have to say, the comparison with Jesus Christ is a strange one.....But it did set me off thinking, I wonder how the world would take to Jesus these days, assuming the story unfolded in a similar way to that which we're taught in the Bible.
A bearded guy, born in a stable in Bethlehem, moves to Jerusalem, starts his own gang and begins campaigning for peace to all men? How long would he last this time around I wonder? Have we made any progress since then?

Tim McVeigh was a terrorist. He killed innocent children. There are no similarities between McVeigh, and Jesus who taught love or Plato who was logical and rational. McVeigh idolized a child molester who was responsible for the deaths of other children that he was holding as hostages. He didn't stand up to the government. He ran and hid like a coward after he did his disastrous and cowardly deed. My only regret is that McVeigh didn't live to see his act of terrorism outdone.

I heard McVeigh acted alone, then i saw a video of him getting out of the truck with someone else. I also heard they found bombs in the building and that a truck filled with explosives could not do the damage that it did. I also heard that the explosion shot out toward the truck. i also heard that McVeigh was in the military longer than what the government said and a video surfaced of him on youtube. I aslo heard.....

Ok, let me get this straight, Jesus, Plato, were thinkers who worked and spoke for peace.
McVeigh. Hmmmmmmm.....
In an attempt to "Stand up to the GOV." as you call it, Murders some folks who are at work putting in their 8 hours, feeding their families, and you compare him to Jesus and Plato?
He hit a Federal Building because he's a nut, and it would get on the news.
By your reasoning Jeffrey Dahmer will be Sainted.

He wasn't a hero to the people in that building, but most Americans have forgotten that he was a decorated war hero from Desert Sheild/Desert Storm. He was a U.S. Army Veteran who served honorably.

Sure, if the world is ever taken over by radicals, he could be.
Maybe even you will be, being such a deep thinker of BS. Comparing little Timmy with Jesus? At this time I think you are crazy, so you have a shot.

I somehow doubt it here in the united states. He did not stand up to the government. Not a damn thing changed expect for the people and their families that were affected by this creep on that awful awful day. He was a loser and will always remain a loser and is deep in the bowels of hell for eternity now.

What was the cumulative total of children that Jesus and Plato blew up with bomb in the back of a van?

Have you forgotten the images of the burned and dying babies? Comparing Jesus and Timothy McVeigh show your complete ignorance.

Of course not.
He's a mass murderer.
Almost everyone knows there is corruption in our government. We don't go around killing innocent people.
He had "courage" to act on it??? Oh pleazzzzzzzzz you've got to be kidding. Killing innocent people doesn't take courage.
