I think anyone who has very deeply held religious beliefs certainly has the capacity to be convinced to do atrocious things in the name of those beliefs.

Certainly those zealous enough to consider themselves (and only them) to be god's chosen people are capable of being dangerous. Probably moreso than those content to be god's special warriors on the internet anyway.

Oh, it's far more than an assumption. rug Jun 2012 #12
You didn't answer any of my questions. darkstar3 Jun 2012 #14

That's right, it's not my OP rug Jun 2012 #26

Here you go. rug Jun 2012 #39
Thanks. - n/t. Jim__ Jun 2012 #40
I was glad to see the judge ruled that whether or not it was a true threat was a matter for a jury. Jim__ Jun 2012 #42
I agree. I think that's why she's doubling down on the First Amendment claim. rug Jun 2012 #43
