COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (CNN) -- Matthew Murray wrote on an Internet message board of how he hated Christians between attacks on a mission center and church on Sunday, according to Denver-area media reports.
"You Christians brought this on yourselves," Murray wrote at 11:03 a.m. on Sunday, CNN affiliate KUSA reported on its Web site.
"I'm coming for EVERYONE soon and I WILL be armed to the @#%$ teeth and I WILL shoot to kill. ...God, I can't wait till I can kill you people. Feel no remorse, no sense of shame, I don't care if I live or die in the shoot-out. All I want to do is kill and injure as many of you ... as I can especially Christians who are to blame for most of the problems in the world," the KUSA report quoted from the final posting.

Werner said five days before Murray was told in 2002 he could not make the Bosnia trip, Murray performed a pair of dark rock songs at a concert at the mission that made fellow workers "pretty scared."
The performance -- which included a song by rock band Linkin Park and another that had been recorded by controversial rocker Marilyn Manson -- followed months of strange behavior, Werner said.
Werner, of Balneario Camborius, Brazil, said he had a bunk near Murray's and that Murray would roll around in bed and make noises.
"He would say, 'Don't worry, I'm just talking to the voices,' " Werner said. "He'd say, 'Don't worry, Richard. You're a nice guy. The voices like you.' "

Forget his name, and do not post his picture.

I wonder if it was Rosie’s voice he heard?
Whine, whine, whine. Thank God there was an armed security guard there.
It's like V-Tech all over again.
This raises an interesting pastoral question - where does a church's ministry obligations to a hurting kid end, and their responsibility to protect the rest of the congregation begin? I'm not sure a kid like this should be allowed to participate in programs like YWAM.
I think Richard should be very worried. Lick of sense and that boy would run to his nearest church and pray . . .
I just knew what I had to do. It seemed like it was me, the gunman, and God.
I knew that I could not let this man harm any more people. I said, 'God, this is you.' I asked Him to be with me and He never left my side.
I want to do His will and not my will. Where I was weak, God made me strong. He filled me, He guided me, He protected me, and many other people.
issue resolved...he’s dead.
This guy is a loon, and a violent loon at that, fortunately there was a an armed and ready (CCW holder?) that ended the lad’s pain for him.....
So he wanted to go to Bosnia??
Hmmm....
No, it’s not......he killed other people.
Prage is now calling pacifism immoral on his show.....
...he’s also talking about hero Jeanne Assam.
Prager = Prage
Pacifism cannot be termed immoral in any sense of the word. You may think it is naive, but it cannot be immoral.
I'll post the link, not to glorify this sick f--k, but to try to better prevent this from happening again.
So, I guess this will shut up those who claim this guy wasn’t anti-Christian.
“I don’t care if I live or die”
He does now.
Dozens would be dead if not for an armed citizen with a carry permit. That’s the only difference between this incident and the Virginia Tech shooting — this church ALLOWED people to carry weapons, Virginia Tech didn’t.
