Who is the mainstream American Right?
People commit suicide everyday, each is tragic in its own right......the person who kills themselves is not inherently special they are disturbed.
Why would nay media cover the act? (Yes, I read the article)
BFL
Respectfully this article is a bunch of bologna meant to make the author sound enlightened. The beauty of Notre Dame cathedral rests not in its design but in its intent to glorify God.
It appears this unfortunate soul had a messiah complex and felt himself somehow an improvement upon the sacrifice of the holy mass. God himself is offered as the perfect sacrifice upon which this man showed no humility or respect for the son of man. This was an evil act... that mocks the true sacrifice made on cavalry.
Awesome article. The West Had better wake up before we loose our civilization to these animals.
He sure can’t change his mind now...
John McCain...
I don’t see anything in Scripture that authorizes us to kill ourselves because of the sinful world around us. We are instead instructed to pray, do what we can about the situation to the extent it is proper for believers to do so (e.g., publicly assert God’s position on the matter), but ultimately leave it to God.
Suicide is ALWAYS a SELFISH ACT!! God will deal with him.
We leave things to God; the Moslems take it upon themselves to do what they believe to be the will of Allah.
Sounds like something is wrong with the reasoning faculty of this man.
Cavalry.... lol.. no, really, I actually laughed out loud.
Good grief,,I wanted to puke by the second paragraph! What sanctimonius horse puckey!
It’s all about him dontchya know
It is the core of the disturbance that must be examined. Christ, it must be acknowledged, acceded to his own death. He was murdered by the state. He died that others might live and live eternally. From a completely secular standpoint, Venner’s death is no different. He died that the culture he loved might survive.
If he wore the robes of a Buddhist monk and somehow involved fire in this, maybe it would be iconic, rather than ignored.
This is what gets me about Free Republic. An obviously intelligent man commits an act of extreme sacrifice to draw attention to a problem, and we have people arguing over everything but the point of the story. Why? Why did he take his own life? This is the point to ponder. Some of the people on Free Republic could have been at the celebration where Jesus turned the water into wine, and they would have complained about the vintage and given everyone a dissertation on their knowledge of how the weather affects wine.
The best way to die is to parachute into the Middle East and start preaching The Gospel.
