Norway terrorist Anders Breivik not a religious Christian
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | 24 July 2011 | Unknown

Posted on 07/24/2011 8:48:16 PM PDT by Ryft

Breivik writes in his manifesto that he is not religious, has doubts about God's existence, does not pray, but does assert the primacy of Europe's "Christian culture" as well as his own pagan Nordic culture. ... [He also] affirms: "As for the Church and science, it is essential that science takes an undisputed precedence over biblical teachings. ... Regarding my personal relationship with God, I guess I'm not an excessively religious man. I am first and foremost a man of logic. However, I am a supporter of a monocultural Christian Europe."

"As this is a cultural war, our definition of being a Christian does not necessarily constitute that you are required to have a personal relationship with God or Jesus," he writes. "Being a Christian can mean many things; That you believe in and want to protect Europe's Christian cultural heritage. ... It is not required that you have a personal relationship with God or Jesus in order to fight for our Christian cultural heritage and the European way. ... It is enough that you are a Christian-agnostic or a Christian atheist (an atheist who wants to preserve at least the basics of the European Christian cultural legacy (Christian holidays, Christmas and Easter)). The PCCTS, Knights Templar is therefore not a religious organisation [sic] but rather a Christian 'culturalist' military order."

Over and over again, Breivik goes out of his way to make clear to readers of his manifesto that he is not motivated by Christian faith. "I'm not going to pretend I'm a very religious person, as that would be a lie," he says. "I've always been very pragmatic and influenced by my secular surroundings and environment.

So by the media repeatedly proclaiming Breivik to be a "right-wing Christian extremist," they were once again caught with their pants down. The media's incapacity for shame or embarrassment is certainly remarkable.

We knew instantly that this whole “I am a Christian” was a total lie.

I had to disabuse some folks at Church of this notion.

That may be because many of them are required to walk around with their pants down, while at work.

“Norway terrorist Anders Breivik not a religious Christian”

I think that was revealed when he blew up the buildings and went on a shooting rampage

Too late — the lie has been imprinted in the minds of the sheep, and WND publishing the truth won’t make a difference. Libs will play the “Christians have their terrorists too, like McVeigh and Breivik” card until doomsday.

I don’t think the media will pull this one off.

The Ascendancy of the Scientific Dictatorship by Phillip and Paul Collins. Make your tax dollars do something positive for change, ask your local library to get you a copy.

It could save folks years or months of confusion.

I’m waiting to see how the MSM handles this story... If it had been Muslims, Janet would be out there telling everyone not to judge all Muslims by the act of one crazy person. I suspect she’s NOT going to do that about a possible ‘Christian’ killer...

Let’s face it. The state owned media is chomping at the bit to tie the Right with these Lefty homicidal maniacs. It is a person without God in his heart that slips in the muck of demonic behavior.

““We are not sure whether he was alone or had help,” a police official, Roger Andresen, said at a televised news conference.”

“He added, “What we know is that he is right-wing and a Christian fundamentalist.”

I agree with you, as do they, which is why this “police official” made that comment at the first news conference. He knew nothing about the man yet stated categorically that it was a right-wing Christian Fundamentalist. It’s now embedded into the psyche of a world-wide audience.

He sounds like an old Nazi. That philosophy existed before Hitler and will be around a lot longer.

He is using the word “Christian” the way it is used by neo-Nazi groups, meaning to refer to Northern Europeans of neither Jewish nor other blood who can therefore use the term as a marker of ethnic identity. Hitler despised Christianity from a philosophical point of view, but he too attempted to use the Christian churches as a method of sorting out people of “pure” blood, and he was simultaneously into Germanic paganism and mythology, just like this guy, and in fact was working on creating his own “racially pure” religion.

I don’t see why people are so puzzled by Breivik. He’s just another neo-Nazi, perhaps a little more intelligent than most of them, and perhaps even a little crazier, if that’s possible, than most of them. Also, I hope everyone is aware that he copied huge amounts (nearly half, IIRC) of “his” manifesto directly from Ted Kaczynski’s massive Unabomber screed.

Definitely left-wing philosophy.

It is enough that you are a Christian-agnostic or a Christian atheist ...

So, not a Christian by his own words.

"For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Romans 8:6-9
