No, he is not the end result of such teaching for 2 reasons.

(1) Was he really a christian at all? A fundamentalist christian would not break the 6th Commandment forbidding murder, let alone obeying Christ when He said not even to hate someone because that was the same as wanting them dead. Breivik was not obeying the tenets of being a christian, and just because he himself or others called him a christian findamentalist doesn't make him one.

(2) This argument that:

"Breivik killed 77 people. He is a fundamentalist christian. Therefore all fundamentalist christians are terrorists" is the same as saying:

"Hitler killed millions. He was a Catholic. Therefore all Catholics are mass murderers."

However, it IS accurate to say that Islamic terrorism is the end result of fundamentalist Islamic teaching, but there's nothing said in the media aboout that!

A:

Whether Anders Bering Breivik is or is not a Christian is not the question being asked here.

The question is whether or not 'he' is the end result of 'fundamentalist Christian teaching.'

Therefore what must be examined here is whether or not fundamentalist christian teaching promotes such violent and psychopathic action.

And that The Bible does so can not be denied. And to deny this fact is to deny what is written in the Bible.

Mass murder, genocide and ethnic cleansing are all promoted in the Bible. The eradication of the original inhabitants of the 'Land Flowing with Milk and Honey' was encouraged. (1Sam15:2,3 Num31:7 Deut20:16 Josh6:21), and David, before becoming King David, committed acts on a grander scale similar in nature to Anders Breivik (1Sam27:1-12) and yet he was considered a hero.

The double standard here should be obvious to all . . . and something that should be of extreme concern to all.

To deny this is to refuse to learn from the event.
