Christian cop says he kills for Christ

This is one of the most messed up stories I've ever seen. If you don't believe that religion brainwashes people, or that religious people are easily lead or mislead then you need to read this. This is also evidence of why we need a serious anti-gun violence education movement in this country, though it's probably too late to stop us degenerating into Bosnia. The Bosnian Serbs also used Jesus to justify killing people remorselessly, I see the same thing coming here.

Texas Cop Claims He’s Killing For Christ

a reply to: CB328

This article from a site called Americans Against the Tea Party???

A little bit about this organization might put into perspective this unbelievable hit piece geared towards not only Christianity but also gun control........

Here's how it works: What appears like a local groundswell is in fact the creation of two men -- Craig Varoga and George Rakis, Democratic Party strategists who have set up a number of so-called 527 groups, the non-profit election organizations that hammer on contentious issues (think Swift Boats, for example).

Varoga and Rakis keep a central mailing address in Washington, pulling in soft money contributions from unions and other well-padded sources to engage in what amounts to a legal laundering system. The money -- tens of millions of dollars -- gets circulated around to different states by the 527s, which pay for TV ads, Internet campaigns and lobbyist salaries, all while keeping the hands of the unions clean -- for the most part.

Not to say the guy that wrote this book isn't a nut case, but because of what one guy writes you go into hysterics on the gun control agenda????

Give me a break!

Sounds to me like certain political groups are not only just as crazy, but dangerous as well!

Nice try!

Sounds like someone's watched frailty one too many times...

Regardless of the source, if the quotes are accurate, the man is clearly insane. Apparently he got the idea after watching Rambo IV...

From OP's link:

"He didn’t want to, but finally did. Their boat got taken over by river pirates. He had to kill them to save everybody,” Eipper recalls. “When Rambo was dropping the missionaries off at their destination, the lead missionary was stepping off the boat and turned to Rambo. ‘I know you think what you did is right,’ the missionary said, ‘but it’s never right to take a life.’” Eipper cringed. “I thought, ‘What if there’s a young believer in Christ watching this? What if it’s somebody who is in the Marine Corps? Or an officer? They’re going to be so confused. They’ll think, ‘Surely this guy is speaking on authority of Scripture.’”

Gun control isn't the issue here. Obviously we should go about vetting our police officers with a bit more scrutiny. This guy is no better than a jihadist justifying killing for Allah.

I need a drink...

Ok, but does that mean that the article is incorrect???

If the article is correct in what it says about the cop then all you're doing is attacking the messenger. The website may in fact be a bunch of biased Left Wing Radicals, or maybe not, but that doesn't mean the article itself has anything to do with them or the message contained within.

Apparently the cop wrote all this stuff down in his own self published book which obviously makes him bat sh*t crazy and dangerous too. If that's the case, who cares what site it's posted at as long as they don't alter it or twist it into lies.

Just like the your source which claims that the site is run by Liberal Activists. That info comes from Fox News who I consider a bunch of Right Wing BS artists. However, if what they say is true, then it's true and it doesn't matter what I think of them. Even though in this case, even if they are correct still doesn't change anything if the article itself is true.

So a cop is giving a reason for killing and violence...God!

Seems like I've heard this before. Yup the bible. And we all know how that works out.

Peace

Better idea .. how about a program for religous control to protect society from the brainwashed zealots..

Far to many murdered in the world because of damn religous fanatics.

Lol, this "source" is about as credible as beforeitsnews and the like. Give me a break! Might as well get some motherjones articles to corroborate this story while your at it.

I wasn't aware there was a Rambo 4. Thanks crazy person with a badge. I'll go look it up on Netflix. Please don't shoot my dog with an exploding arrow.

Used to be...Praise the lord and pass the ammunition.

Now it's...Killing for Christ

I think I'd be less disturbed if this guy was identifying with
any of the archangels instead of Christ...

That's like clubbing baby kittens for PETA

Oh wow, there is a blast from the past..... We actually sang that one in chorus in third grade, seems so messed up now lol. Was during gulf war part 1.

a reply to: skunkape23
The movie you need to look for is Maniac Cop 1, 2, 3, and maybe there's a 4th? There's a lot of Satanic back story in Maniac Cop, but I suppose you could call this guy a maniac cop for killing for Jesus and for Rambo 4 to tell him it's ok.

Didn't we just go over this???

The source is the book that the cop himself wrote. The site bringing it to our attention is the source of the article. Attacking the article means nothing if what they say about the cop and his book are true. If you can prove that what the article says is BS, fine, prove it. Otherwise you have no case.

Either this cop wrote a book illustrating what a crazy ass he is or he didn't. If he did, then who cares about how you found out about it???

Regardless of whether he wrote a book, the fact is, he is confused about the teachings of Christ... Yes, Jesus will return and lead an army. But, it is our duty as Christians, to live as Christ did and clearly commanded us to... Not to preempt His final battle.

As for the OP's statement:

If you don't believe that religion brainwashes people, or that religious people are easily lead or mislead then you need to read this.

Religious people are no more easily misled than any other group of individuals who affiliate with someone or something. And it is NOT religion that would be guilty of "brainwashing" anyone. It could only be a person or group using religion, who could perpetrate such a ruse.
There are many charlitans who operate under the guise of righteousness...

My last chapter is Jesus, the Man of War

Well I for one will be more than willing to give to this guy's kickstarter if he starts one. Let's make this happen! Here's how I think Jesus, the Man of War, might appear in the movie adaptation.



(don't worry, I was probably going to hell before I shopped this anyway)

a reply to: theantediluvian

Lol oh man that is the perfect rendition of jesus, man of war!
Or maybe get a bible or a cross in there some how.

I have to agree about everyone focusing on the source, unless they helped, or published the book then we should focus on the book.

Don't think this calls for ramped up gun laws tho. More about what the mentality of our LEO's can be.

a reply to: CB328

Love thy enemies, easier said than done, turn the other cheek, another hard one, though shall not kill.
I can not judge this man but his christianity is not the one I hold up and revere, he will have to stand before the lord and explain exactly how killing exept to save a life is doing god's work, christ may forgive him but he will have to mend his way's, still christ is his and indeed our judge.
Something worse than taking a life is to destroy a soul or ruin a life and taking one life no matter how unworthy it may seem to be can cause all this to there extended family many of whom may be good christians and people themselves, also it rob's them of the chance to repent and be saved.

So once again it is a religious bashing thread....

So looking at the actual article from a very anti-religion/anti-conservative site he said..

SWAT officer Charlie Eipper says that he is sure that Jesus–a man of peace–supported the use of deadly force in the line of duty and explains his positions in his book.

Does this really mean "Christian cop says he kills for Christ", or does it mean that he feels that if he does kill it is not against his religious beliefs in why it is necessary to do it?

What gets me is I'm not even religious and I see a lot wrong with the spin on all this. I guess to kill innocent people for greed is ok, but to kill people that really should be killed due to their evil acts is worth a post. How about if I kill because that is my job description, no religious about it, but its a pay check, is that ok? I'm sure there are a lot of cops that feel like this.....

Maybe Im a lil rusty on the scriptures but did Jesus said go ye forth and kill for me??

a reply to: CB328

Then he is not a Christian. Regardless of what he believes.
