Bill O'Reilly has done his bit to contribute to the Tsunami of stupidity coming from right-wing commentators in the wake of the Norway shootings by declaring that it's "Impossible" that Breivik could have been a Christian, because...Breivik was bad-not good, like O'Reilly. So not a Christian, get it?

If you accept that Christians are capable of these sorts of acts, then Christianity loses its inherent moral superiority over Islam. Duh. One of these things, doesn't belong here, come on, can you tell which one?

One of these things, doesn't belong here, come on, can you tell which one? Well, it could be the third one.... ...because it's the only one not showing any kind of tartan-patterned clothing. It could also be the fourth one... ...because, with that stormtrooper helmet, it's impossible to have even the slightest idea how old that person is. (Of course, you also could be going with the easy, cop-out answer of "it's the fifth one, because only Sir Connery is awesome". )

According to someone on Christian Forums, he's not a Christian, but an atheist/agnostic.

I agree with Billo on one thing, Breivik was a loser.

What goddamnmotherfucking difference does it make? Breivik is a killer, belief is irrelevant.
Breivik, meet Justice! Justice, meet Breivik!

It makes a difference because right wing Christian assertions that Christians are inherently good and Muslims are inherently bad effect a lot of people's beliefs and behavior, and influence politics.

"Impossible!" I don't think that word means what you think it means.
Also, I don't understand the Scots joke but I'm sure I should be offended.

Also, I don't understand the Scots joke but I'm sure I should be offended. It's a reference to a very common logical fallacy that we're seeing in action here.
