American terrorists are Christians. No matter what evangelicals and other say. They'll tell you about the terrorist, "he wasn't a REAL Christian" but he was. Instead of fixing the cancer in their religion, Christians will brush away every bad person as "not real" so they can keep ignoring the problem.
The shooters are commiting the same sins that their church leaders commit. Pride, greed, wrath.
I've heard "good Christians" hand wave their responsibility for bad behavior by saying things like "we're all sinners" or "I'll have to confess later!"
I guess that latter one is Catholic, but it's all the same.
Religion was a necessary framework for transmitting moral knowledge in a time when people didn't have a stable foundation. Centuries ago. It's absurdly flawed and grows communities that are extremely vulnerable to corruption and radicalization.
It's time to move past religion.
Catholicism's rule is as long as you confess your sins you're all good. You can be the worst human alive, but perfectly good in the Catholic god's eyes so long as you confess
It really is a religion designed to allow bad behaviour by anyone who knows the rules
