from the article:
Not so, though, when it's Christians who are killed for their faith.
Is it any surprise, then, that hours after the eyewitness accounts had been released and well after conservative news outlets were reporting the alleged targeting of Christians, liberal news outlets had not said a word about the alleged anti-Christian connection?
It could well be that the Oregon shooter suffered from a mental illness, which suggests that we can't read too much into his actions. But why, then, did we read so much into the Charleston shooter's actions, since he reportedly suffered from a mental illness as well?
The Oregon attack is also one isolated incident, which suggest that we can't extrapolate too much from it in terms of national sentiments toward Christianity. But why, then, did we extrapolate so much from the Charleston shooting in terms of race issues?
When it comes to the Oregon massacre, we still don't know all the facts and, at this point, only God knows the motivation of the murderer. But we do know there is a growing national climate of extreme hostility toward Christianity, and from professional news media to popular social media, it is open season on committed followers of Jesus. _________________ SI Moderator - Greg Gordon
