Don't know if I can stomach all the 9/11 tributes

Looks like we've come to a consensus here...This 911 crap is ridiculous

Chickaree, Often on talks shows this goes unchallenged, even by conservatives. Sometimes conservatives even spread this lie themselves, but at the least, it needs to be countered and stopped whenever it is mentioned. There is plenty of evidence out there to counter this myth that McVeigh was a Christian. Wikipedia has plenty of information about this; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_McVeigh here’s some more.

I don’t want this to turn into a theological discussion, but let’s make this simple, you become a Christian by making a statement that you believe in Jesus Christ and accept him as your Savior. You then try to live a life consistent with that statement. It’s pretty simple. McVeigh did neither of those things. He told anybody who would listen that he was agnostic. You cannot be a Christian while saying you are agnostic.

The consensus is VL is ghey zombie kak.

From the Wikipedia article you listed:

McVeigh was a registered Republican when he lived in Buffalo, New York in the 1980s, and had a membership in the National Rifle Association while in the military.[84]

McVeigh was raised Roman Catholic.[85] During his childhood, he and his father attended Mass regularly.[86] McVeigh was confirmed at the Good Shepherd Church in Pendleton, New York, in 1985.[87] In a 1996 interview, McVeigh professed belief in "a God", although he said he had "sort of lost touch with" Catholicism and "I never really picked it up, however I do maintain core beliefs."[85] In the 2001 book American Terrorist, McVeigh stated that he did not believe in Hell and that science is his religion.[88][89] In June, 2001, a day before the execution, McVeigh wrote a letter to the Buffalo News identifying as agnostic.[90] Before his execution, McVeigh took the Catholic sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.[91]

Sounds like he was all over the place in the months leading up to his execution, but at the very end, returned to Catholicism.

An attempt to save his everlasting soul.

Which would make him a Christian.

so Kate you would agree he was not a Christian, until prior to his execution, after his terrorist acts...Ok, I can go along with that!

VL, watch this clip, this is why we will not forget...we will all move on, but maybe you don't know how to..

I don't know what goes on in another persons mind, and I would bet that neither do you.

We know he was raised Catholic, went into the military, committed the bombing, then said he was agnostic and then recanted on his deathbed. He's all over the place. The point here is that we do not know if he was agnostic or christian when he committed the terrorist act, yet we do know that he was a Christian when he was young and he was a Christian right before he died. It's a little weird saying he was not a Christian, though.

If you have other evidence, please do post it.
