McVeigh was NOT, repeat NOT a practising Christian (Catholic or otherwise). This is the usual lib***l lie.

In the their book American Terrorist: Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing (ReganBooks, 2001) written by Lou Michel and Dan Herbeck, staff reporters for the Buffalo News in New York. In this book, Michel and Herbeck tell how McVeigh committed adultery, was a thief and used illegal drugs-acts that are, to put it mildly, not fruits of the Christian Spirit. Ditto, his mass murders, incidentally.

He Believed in 'Science'

Michel and Herbeck also tell how during the Gulf War McVeigh lied about attending church: "On Sunday mornings, the recruits were required to either attend church services or spend an hour cleaning the barracks. McVeigh, an agnostic, chose to clean the barracks until he found out that nobody took attendance at church. One Sunday, he signed up for church and just slipped away from the rest of his platoon. He found a field of tall grass and lay there, a little worried about snakes, but enjoying the opportunity to relax in solitude. The following Sunday, McVeigh signed up for church again. This time, he sneaked into an old abandoned barracks to kill time."

Another story. Michel and Herbeck tell how McVeigh once "paid a visit to the local Seventh Day Adventist Church, but he found that service bored him ... McVeigh had never been inclined to criticize people for their religious views, but he concluded that organized religion wasn't really for him. He believed that the universe was guided by natural law, energized by some universal higher power that showed each person right from wrong if they paid attention to what was going on inside of them."

But the smoking gun is a quote by McVeigh himself regarding what he believed. Michel and Herbeck say that McVeigh would tell friends, "Science is my religion." To worship at the altar of science is, of course, idolatry and not Christianity.

Finally, in an interview, Lou Michel told me: No, Tim McVeigh was not a Christian-"though he acknowledged the possibility of a higher power. But, he didn't accept Jesus Christ as his personal Savior, so far as I know."

Michel notes that, at the end, McVeigh did pray with a chaplain and receive the anointing of the sick, known as the last rites in the Roman Catholic Church. "But," says Michel, "I think he was just covering his bases." He didn't ask for the last rites until they were offered to him.

Whether McVeigh really repented and had a true conversion no one can know. But either way, the event happened long after he had committed-as a non-Christian-his act of terror in Oklahoma City.

With science as his religion, the terrorist Timothy McVeigh was much closer to being a Nazi than a Christian. When a Dr. Nyiszli asked the Nazi butcher Joseph Mengele, in Auschwitz: "When will all this extermination cease?", Mengele answered, "My friend! It will go on, and on, and on."

To be sure, many times the Nazi analogy is too quickly invoked or misapplied. But, when it comes to those, like McVeigh, who claim their cause justifies mass murder, the comparison is accurate and deserved.

Please show me the documented "evidence" that McVeigh was a "registered Republican.

The debate is over: so-called "manmade global warming" is a crock.
