In the man who guns down his family I see a temper out of control. How often have I myself done violence or entertained violent thoughts? Put a gun in my hand at just the right moment and there’s no telling what I might do.

Wow, time to go to the funny farm, Anna Diehl! Don't worry, they got trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes!

*smirk* Then, why haven't you "made yourself famous" already? We here at FSTDT have been "graced" with your quotes for quite some time now, but there has yet to be any breaking news of you doing anything anti-social. You're all talk and no action. If you actually got anywhere near a loaded firearm, the only question of "what you might do" is whether the resulting stain in your undies would be yellow, brown, or a mixture of both.
For the record: I've had plenty of violent thoughts, too. I've had (by First World standards) a fairly lousy childhood, too. I've also been around firearms all my life.
Despite all that, not once has it ever occurred to me to grab a nearby bang-bang and go mow down a bunch of innocent people. It's not the fault of some fictional characters named Adam and Eve that you're inherently broken, Anna. It's just you .

"Wow, time to go to the funny farm, Anna Diehl!"
Are there any decent cartoonists here among our FSTDT regulars? I wouldn't mind seeing a cartoon depicting dear Anna wearing one of those nice "I love me" jackets. It would fit her in more ways than one.
You've also said that in the man who guns down his family you see an instrument of God.
This is the type of person that pontificates on how much more moral they are than I am. I admit there are times I wonder what I would become in the dark where none would ever know what I've done and it scares the living shit out of me.
These people? They're proud of themselves as long as it stays between them and the insatiable impulse in their head they've come to call God.
It's stuff like this that makes me glad guns are expensive as shit. Even the cheapest thing I've found was two hundred dollars (not to mention not being suitable for a first-time shooter), and let me tell you, someone like Anna who obviously doesn't work couldn't afford even that.
I may hate that Heckler & Koch charges double the price of anyone else just for the tiny HK logo on the grip (triple or more if it's colored red), but if it keeps them out of the hands of people who are so far gone they're fucking proud of themselves for needing the guidance of an invisible sky-fairy to keep themselves from murdering everyone they ever meet, then it's fine with me.
It takes more than a loss of temper to become a killer Anna. It takes either furious hot rage and the will to act, or cold pre-meditation and the will to carry it out.
Do have it Anna? Do you have the will? Do you have the will to take a life?
Can you live with the soul tearing agony that comes with the knowledge you took a life? Can you live with a piece of yourself missing?
Can you?

Ah...
I know how that feels.
The difference between people like you and I, and these cretins is that we've agonized over the possibility of becoming a monster and doing horrible things. We've faced the fact of becoming something twisted and ugly
We survived and neither of us have become what feared.
People like Anna do embrace it, and wear that badge proudly.
So I wonder... Who's more moral? The ones who acknowledge their capacity for darkness and resist it or the ones who condemn it in public and revel in it in private?

Naah, I think this is Anna's favourite top...

"Put a gun in my hand at just the right moment and there’s no telling what I might do."
More reason why guns were banned here in the UK, post-Dunblane atrocity.
In the above paradox, I see a fundie out of options. There's no telling how long you'd stamp your feet in frustration, Annie. And not just because you lot have no control over people anymore.
> Can you live with the soul tearing agony that comes with the knowledge you took a life? Can you live with a piece of yourself missing?
If Anna Dielh truly believes what she says, that the world she lives in is not real, that anything good you do is not your credit but God's, and that everything bad you do is also preordained and it's still punishable, then her soul can't be in good shape now. Murder-levels of soul-tearing?
... Probably not, but to the admittedly untrained eye it seems kind of unhealthy.
I messed up big-time. There are a bunch of quotes I forgot to approve. I'll try to fix this. But this one was so messed-up I had to auto-approve it.
Oookay, problem. I tried to do the refresh in hopes the pubadmin would cycle. It didn't
I'm kinda new to this whole being a site owner thing. I'm still learning.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is from the mind of someone who counsels others about their problems.
Just let that sink in for a moment.
says psycho bitch.
Am I remotely surprised? No.
On her best day she's still out Randing Rand with a Christian bend, Like, oddly, Ironically stage right eveeen, most Ayn Rand fans.
@Da Rat Bastid:
Like Whatever said, Anna is a crazed ultra-Calvinist, she loathes everybody and everything, herself included, and she considers herself scum (Saved scum, but scum nonetheless)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
