Inside the mind of a killer (Finnish high school mass murderer sounds like Richard Dawkins!)

Inside the mind of a killer

The Finnish high school tragedy once again shows that ideas have consequences

--snip--

* 'I am a cynical existentialist, antihuman humanist, antisocial social darwinist, realistic idealist and godlike atheist.’

* ‘Life is just a coincidence … result of long process of evolution and many several factors, causes and effects.’

* ‘There are no other universal laws than the laws of nature and the laws of physics.’

* ‘Evolution is both a theory and a fact, creationism is neither one.’

* ‘Religious people, your gods are nothing and exists only in your heads. Your slave morals means nothing to me. I’m the god & devil of my own life.’

* ‘What is the best thing in life? It ends. Well I guess there are some other great things, worth living for, but sometimes you lose them or don’t get them.’

* ‘Trust no one … and rely on your instincts.’

* ‘I’m the dictator of my own life.’

* ‘HUMANITY IS OVERRATED!’

* ‘Human life is not sacred. Humans are just a species among other animals and world does not exist only for humans. Death is not a tragedy, it happens in nature all the time between all species. Not all human lives are important or worth saving. Sometimes I feel like no one is really worth [sic] of life at all.’

* ‘Today the process of natural selection is totally misguided. Modern human race has not only betrayed its ancestors, but the future generations too.’...

Sounds like a real hard core liberal. They are miserable and need to make other miserable. And they can't stand anyone who is not miserable.

What an empty life. Think how different it could have been if one person had witnessed to him.

Oh, and the point of “Human life is not sacred” - yeah, come try to break into my house or meet me on the street with bad intentions...

At least he is an honest Athiest, denying morality on the basis of his Athiesm. Dawkins wants his Athiesm, and morality too. Sorry, Richard but they are mutually exclusive.

As anyone familiar with philosophy can tell you, remove a belief in God and the next thing you know, the non-believer starts thinking of himself as god and other men as subhuman. Nietsche, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Trotsky, all atheists.

You can’t have the Holocaust, or the Ukrainian starvation purges of Stalin and the Bolshevik Revolution and Abortion without atheism. Serial killers too.

Well, thanks for sharing your opinion, but this statement is not an absolute truth. It can't be. Under your belief, there is no such thing as absolute truth. . .right?

As an avid fan of the Occult, Hitler clearly believed in the supernatural and tried to harness it to further his “cause.” One very much CAN commit genocide and believe in God, it just that its done in opposition to God rather than submitting to His Will.

I recommend that everyone read a remarkable book by Richard Wurmbrand called Marx and Satan. He makes a case that Marx (originally an enthusiastic Christian) first became converted to Satanism, and only later to socialism. Much of the killer's language could have come straight out of Marx's writings, and those of other Satanists.

(Wurmbrand was a pastor who was imprisoned for 17 yr. by the Rumanian Communists, then founded the Voice of the Martyrs.)

I read that book many moons ago. If memory serves, Marx wrote many odes to his father below.

Wurmbrand shows that Marx’s rhetorical style was similar to that of known Satanists, that he was an arrogant, self-worshiping person (not unlike later communists like Stalin, Kim Jong Il, and Barack 0bama), and that he shows little idealism about really improving the lot of the poor; instead, his writings are full of nihilistic ideas, glorification of destruction and violence, etc. Anyone reading Marx could have predicted that the movement he founded would eventually cause the deaths of millions.

Someone shot people somewhere? Obviously it was because of something taught in most classrooms throughout the world for over a century now.

To quote Chris Rock “Whatever happened to crazy?”
