All of these &#8220;rules&#8221; have apparently been cast aside as the two papers, and countless other commentators, try to make Breivik into a conservative Christian.<\/p>\n<p>I can assure you that Anders Breivik was not a follower of Jesus Christ. I can say that with confidence because neither he nor anyone else can cite one word from the teachings of Christ that would justify his evil actions. His murderous rampage is a repudiation of the whole body of Christ&#8217;s teachings. The same cannot be said about the teachings of Muhammad, which contain many statements that can be used to justify murder.<\/p>\n<p>No one can find one Christian theologian, reputable pastor, denominational leader, Christian author or philosopher who will attempt to defend Breivik&#8217;s actions. Unfortunately, many imams, Muslim leaders and mosques will defend Islamists who intentionally kill civilians, including children.<\/p>\n<p>In Breivik&#8217;s 1,500 page &#8220;manifesto,&#8221; it is clear that he hates Islam and wants\u00a0Europe\u00a0to rediscover its Christian culture. Breivik likes violent video games. His favorite TV show is Dexter, a series that glorifies a serial killer. One also finds in his ramblings that he is a follower of Charles Darwin, seldom if ever prays, says it is possible to be a &#8220;Christian atheist,&#8221; and adds, &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to pretend I&#8217;m a very religious person.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Breivik doesn&#8217;t have to pretend he is a religious man &#8212; the\u00a0<em>Washington Post<\/em>\u00a0and the\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em>\u00a0will pretend for him.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in receiving Mr. Bauer\u2019s daily report by e-mail, please call\u00a0703-671-9700, visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ouramericanvalues.org\/eod_request.php\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">SIGN UP FOR GARY BAUER\u2019S &#8220;END OF DAY REPORT&#8221;<\/a>\u00a0or simply send a reply e-mail titled &#8220;Subscribe&#8221; and include your name and address.<\/p>\n<p>Excerpt from:<\/p>\n<p><em>American Values<\/em><br \/>\n2800 Shirlington Road<br \/>\nSuite 950<br \/>\nArlington, VA 22206<\/p>\n<p>Phone: 703-671-9700<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ouramericanvalues.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">VISIT\u00a0<em>AMERICAN VALUES<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Gary Bauer Both the\u00a0Washington Post\u00a0and the\u00a0New York Times\u00a0have run headlines labeling Anders Breivik, the Norwegian mass murderer, a &#8220;right-wing Christian.&#8221; These are the same two newspapers that go to great lengths to avoid using the word &#8220;Muslim&#8221; to describe Islamist murderers.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
