Like tens of thousands of his peers, Matthew Murray went
out one evening and slaughtered many more-or-less innocent victims.
There were some differences between Matthew and his murderous
peers. Firstly, Matthew's victims were in Colorado while his
peers were slaughtering innocent women and children in Iraq.
Second, Matthew's victims were Christian crazies. His peers were
shooting down mostly Moslems and occasionally one another.
Another difference was that Matthew was white and middle class. His peers doing the killing in Iraq are mostly minorities, primarily poor Hispanics. They are mostly members of violent street gangs duped into governmental murder by Republican bosses. In both cases, the object is the same. We (by that I mean the conservative obsessions in our society) have created a society of murder, harm and pain. We've become the very worst evils in the human psyche, the Glenn Beck and FOX "News" and Rupert Murdoch of evil. And decent persons everywhere shutter. Matthew Murray (sometimes I've seen it as "Mathew") was wild with rage and madness. He himself was the victim of the crazy Christian philosophy of hypocrisy, evil and exploitation. No one can justify Matthew's murder spree anymore than they can justify the officially sanctioned murders by his peers in Iraq. But Matthew said one thing that is certainly true, Christians "are to blame for most of the problems in the world." Unquestionably they are a dangerous bunch of people who should be carefully monitored as we might monitor a virulent virus. They wish to harm everybody from aliens and pregnant women to queers and the poor. They are the Inquisition on a gigantic scale. The Christian aim is to hurt others...to hurt YOU! Places like the New Life Church, a huge corporation of religious exploitation and evil, are the money machines and training grounds for Christian propaganda and evil. They put me in mind of the insidious German American Bund before the Second World War. The so-called "mega-churches" are up to no good virulent viruses! But murderous Matthew and his militarized and foolish peers in Iraq are certainly not the only story. There's Jeanne Assam. She's one of the most dangerous kinds of Christian hypocrites. She had a gun! Most Christian bigots are content to get other suckers to do their killing for them. They don't have the the guts to do the killing themselves. They want poor, underprivileged Hispanics to do the killing for them. Then the Christian hypocrites can feel "patriotic" and "clean." They can pretend to be "good." Brother, of all the things the Christians are "good" isn't one of them! Jeanne Assam shot down the young man. She said that some ghoulish spook, she called her fantasy, the Holy Spirit, (I don't know what's "holy" about killing, but Christians understand such bunk) guided her to gun down her victim. Well, the Christian spook mustn't have very good aim. The good Christian gunman, Jeanne Assam, barely wounded Matthew. Before she could get up the spooky nerve to get closer and kill off the boy, Matthew killed himself. I'm of a generous nature. Generously, I'll presume that the Christian lady was deluded and mislead. I know one thing, she had the Christian tenet of killing in her heart. Beware of Christians and Republicans and all those preaching fear and intolerance. We are in some slight danger from foreign sources. We are in very great danger from the virulent virus fermenting in the mega-church.
