The devil in D.C.

[AnnMercy2]

Well, I believe that if he does repent of his sins and accept Jesus as his savior then, yes he will be in heaven. But I sure wouldn't wait to the last second, becuase most people don't know when they are going to die, some see it coming and have that last second and some don't, nobody knows. I sure wouldn't want to wait on the slim chance that I might have a last second to repent. I personally don't think it happens all that much that people realize at the last second that they are going to go to to hell if they don't repent. They just well.... go. Anyways that's my 0.02

In Christ,
Anna

The biggest difference is the fact that he could truly repent of his sins and ask Christ into his heart. The devil can't.

Muslim Extremists dont strike me as the type to use a sniper gun picking off people one by one, and they dont target random people off the street. Im thinking its one deranged bloodthirsty lunatic, looking to cause disruption in our daily lives and get people scared, I think soon the shootings are going to stop, hes going to let it sink in and then strike again.

A blood thirsty lunatic wouldn't do it every day like this. There seems to be some orginazation to it. I can't think of any crazed killer that did this every single day almost.

Muslim Extremists or terrorist would do something like this to strike terror in a nation. Also this isn't as random as you think, after all its D.C. the nations capitol. I imagine they stretch out to other citys because of security being pumped all over the place. An eyewitness saw 2 people in a white van. I don't know how reliable they are.

I have been told by Christians on this board that all humans are naturally depraved, that everyone is born that way. If you believe this, I don't know why you would think a depraved person like the sniper MUST be a devil. He's obviously a natural-born evil sin-filled human! I would think the Christian view is that he just needs to be saved and all his sins will be forgiven. You guys can enjoy his company in heaven. All he has to do is repent at the last second, right?

I basically agree with that. For me personally, It does not suprise for anyone to have the capacity to do this, given the right circumstances. Anyone who says they would never have done that in any circumstance has never realized their potential of harm to others.

For the most part, people don't realize who they are. They even mask their ownselves to themselves. That is one of the reasons why people who are not Christians probably don't agree with it. That is one of many reasons. Not the reason.

I hope he does repent, but I suspect if he went this far, he doesnt care or even believe in God.

Why doesn't (s)he believe in your God? Just because (s)he's killing people? What about theistic soldiers? Just because (s)he killed someone, does that make him/her an atheist? What about, oh let's say, Gunny?

Ok, so how can the cops NOT catch him now?

WASHINGTON — The Beltway Sniper left behind more than shell casings at the scenes of his two latest attacks -- there were several solid eyewitnesses who got good looks at his face and his license plate.

I'm not sure a muslim terrorist would act like this. It is not the way they proceed in general.

This guy is a terrorist of one form or another, maybe not with muslims but with something.

How would the muslims do things in america, they just can't go buy stuff to make bombs. Sure they could do a little here and there, but this sniper way would fit them due to the limited resources in america.
They could do alot more damage sending waves of killers one at a time till each one was caught, one at a time.
There goals are to create terror, the method doesn't matter.
They go on buses with suicide bombers, killing women and children as well as men, so this would fit them as well.

But who really knows, I am just saying that this doesn't seem like a crazy person.
Have you ever heard of a crazy person who killed every other day?

Its hard to make any decisions on that article, but alot of people have seen "olive" colored skin. One witness saw two people, one guy saw someone up close and said they were middle eastern.
The shootings are at night, and I imagine very quickly so its not rock solid evidence or anything. Not to mention the coicidences of any white van that goes by.

Thats not completely true. Israel, palestinian terrorist have used snipers to kill people. And there is videos of people in bin-ladins campes training with sniper rifles.

The descriptions so far have been olive-skinned men, likely two of them in the van. One spotter, one sniper, which is common with professional sniper teams. This possible fact, along with the lack of a pattern in the killing, makes me think terrorists, not serial killer, since serial killers like to kill the same "type" of people over and over.
