I am not an outsider! I am us! I grew up as a baptist. Fundamentalist Protestant, apocalyptic exclusionary, judgemental (but they tempered it with "We are ALL sinners! We ALL screw up all the time. We all need to repent and seek forgiveness&quot .

I have never shot up, nor wanted to shoot up, any group of people.

If the problem is that he went to our schools and watched our TV, and that is what turned him into a monster, why isn't everybody in America who was born and raised here a monster?
