what is this guy talking about? what might have happened to him for him to feel this way? do you judge him?
"Like Cho, Eric Harris, Ricky Rodriguez and others, I'm going out to make a stand for the weak and the defenseless this is for all those young people still caught in the Nightmare of Christianity for all those people who've been abused and mistreated and taken advantage of by this evil sick religion Christian America this is YOUR Columbine,"

matthew murray felt that he had been abused by christians (even though he had put himself in the way of such 'abuse').
he had been trained as a missionary, so naturally he chose a mission.

I have but a few words to say on this!
First the taking of life is wrong, unless every and I mean every other possibility has been ruled out.
The problem that has arisen over the last few years in the USA is Fundamentalistic thinking, when one states a strong opione and refuses to except anything less others are forced to to the same and thus sides are drawn.
The support of Killings and Terrorist act in the name of god in the pro life debate by some Christians, who quote the bible as a justification. has brought about fear and paranoia.
I appeal to you all on both sides of the divide, to return to the middle ground and to sanity.
A push here a shove there and before you know why brother is killing brother.
Peace and Love

He was raised in a very devout Christian household, homeschooled and all. That must have drove him over the edge.

If he had a more positive outlet for his pent up frustrations, this would never have happened.
