Just like Jesus...

...turned away at the door.....given no love.....given no shelter from the cold.

Yet many will cheer the bullet hole in his head.

UPDATE: Wow, some anonymous commenters can sure infer a lot from that 24 word post you can see above. I don't usually explain myself, but for anonymous, I will....

"turned away at the door":

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — The gunman believed to have killed four people at a megachurch and a missionary training school had been thrown out of the school about three years ago and had been sending the place hate mail, police said in court papers Monday.

The gunman was identified as Matthew Murray, 24, who was home-schooled by his family and raised in what a friend said was a deeply religious Christian household. Murray's father is a neurologist and a leading multiple-sclerosis researcher.

And:

[T]he training center said health problems kept Murray from finishing the program. It did not elaborate. Murray did not complete the lecture phase or a field assignment as part of a 12-week program, Youth With A Mission said.

"The program directors felt that issues with his health made it inappropriate for him to" finish, it said.

Sounds like a very noisy cry for help. No one helped. Maybe some love, understanding and empathy from one of these leaders could have changed the outcome of this sad boy's life.

"It was obvious that he was in some sort of pain and going through a lot," Gibbs told NBC's Today show. "I just prayed God would bring him peace."

Someone saw the life in there somewhere.......

Have I ever written one word of hate towards Christians? No, never. I have written to urge those who claim to follow Christ's word to do it in deed - and not just on Sunday.

And to those disgusting souls who would be glad this boy was killed? I guess this could be interpreted differently, but the sentiment of our neighbors never surprises me:

Sad.

And who's trying to politicize this terrible tragedy? Tony Perkins of Family Research Council:

In its Action Update today, the Family Research Council (FRC) partially cast blame for the tragic shooting at a megachurch in Colorado yesterday on “the secular media.” In the e-mail, which was sent under the name of FRC Action President Tony Perkins, the group says it’s “hard not to draw a line between” the shooting and “hostility” by “some in the secular media toward Christians”:

It is hard not to draw a line between the hostility that is being fomented in our culture from some in the secular media toward Christians and evangelicals in particular and the acts of violence that took place in Colorado yesterday. But I will say no more for now other than that our friends at New Life Church and YWAM are in our thoughts and prayers.

How is it possible that Christians can feel persecuted in a state where church life and churches are thriving?

And is Zappatero a spokesman for the El Paso County Democratic Party? No, and if they offered me the non-paying job for the minority party I'd turn it down.

Go to bed anonymous, and think about the true meaning of Jesus. Would he build a 15,000 seat temple? Would he reject an aching soul from his community? Would he cheer the death of a young man with so much to live for, yet so little to look forward to?

I doubt it.
