    Religion, home schooling, social isolation, conservative values and an enquiring mind? Was Mark Anthony Conditt suffering from a severe case of cognitive dissonance? Could public school education, beer, girls and atheism have SAVED him?

      Another of those somewhat pointless, "what if's" that only serves to cement an existing mindset and can never actually be answered...
      The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

          “Cassia Schultz, 21, told BuzzFeed News that she ran in the same conservative survivalist circles as Conditt in high school.

          Schultz said they were both involved in a group called Righteous Invasion of Truth (RIOT), a Bible study and outdoors group for homeschooled kids, created and named by the kids and their families, that included monthly activities such as archery, gun skills, and water balloon fights. Conditt and his younger sister would usually attend the activities along with 15 to 20 other kids, according to Schultz.”

          What is known about RIOT?

          Anything to do with Carman song of same title 1996?

            I've been actively involved in homeschool groups for over 40 years and never heard of it.

            We DID have, however, a group called TnT - Tuesday Night Thing - perhaps we were terrorists and I never knew?
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              I'm confused. What point or argument is the comic trying to make?

                What godless say when they want to pray, but can't.

                Sad!

                  What does "Thoughts go out to Austin" mean beyond warm fuzzies?
                  Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

                    I'm guessing that he blew himself up and will soon be forgotten.
