Dan,
I think that Larry Ashbrook was just a very sick man and had no motive of hate but of paranoia. This link has some letters he sent to the papers before that horrible night. I see a very confused person with a lot of fear.

There are some things he had in common with the man that shot at us. They both could not keep a job and always blame someone for this problem. There is a sense of fear that someone or something is going to get them. Clearly they both need a relationship with Jesus to find the peace they are seeking.

Dan,

<<There are spiritual paths that have nothing to do with right, also. And many follow these out of lust and selfishness, and the "church of what's happening now " mentality>>

It is unfair to try and paint entire groups of people with such a broad brush stroke. There are many people in non-traditional spiritual pursuits who are just as earnest in their beliefs as anyone from a Judeo-Christian background is.

There are many people from a Judeo-Chrsitian background who use their religion for their own selfish means to an end. There are many who use it to create hatred and divisiveness.

Would it then be fair to paint all who come from this background as selfish and mean spirited?

Mark
