atheists constantly claim that christianity needs to be destroyed for society to progress forwards

are you ready to put the blame of recent church shootings on to the atheist community?

If you could find me a shooter that shot up a church because they wanted to dismantle the institution of christianity I'm happy to consider the ramifications of such rhetoric. I think you know there's a much more direct line between people that shoot muslims and the fear mongering that occurs about them than atheists saying that the institutions of religion should be destroyed and people shooting church goers. If you can make that connection though I'm happy to consider it. 

This isn't about blame, it's about trying to get to the root cause of a problem rather than letting things end with "wow what a crazy bastard, guess we can't do anything about it". Whether that's gun control, mental health, or trying to curb the overly fearful rhetoric around the group that he shot up.

He seemed like a normal dude that apeared to have changed after one of his travels,that is an acceptable timeframe for the rootcause to be situated in but it is so vague that more information in the coming days/weeks/months would be very welcome and there is also a chance that it had to do with nothing of influence outside of his own mind as people that suffer a lot of stress and have mental breakdowns can have episodes of acting shizophrenic and plainly as an whole other person for years and years and if no one notices the first signs, that in a lot of cases can be hard to notice and can turn out badly.

I had a fucked up childhood myself,so fucked up that my personallity at a time ceased to be shown on the outside and that another took over as a sort of escapism for survival so i can mildly understand what stress and our mind are capable of and that there are just so many ways to do fucked up shit without the neccesarity of rhetoric to drive us that far.

I can not stop thinking about the guy that welcomed him to the mosque only to get shot,that is courage and showing of a kind/great heart and it would be good that people did unite over his sacrifice instead of using the incident for their agenda like all sides are to blame of currently.
