Contrary to original press speculation, the killers were not anti-religion (Harris was Catholic, Klebold was a practicing Lutheran), or antisocial; nor did they seek out as victims [[Christianity|Christians]] and popular athletes. As evidenced by the propane bombs used in the attacks (capable of killing all 500 people in the cafeteria) the massacre was only for body count: the guns were only a grisly supplement for taking out stragglers. According to eyewitnesses and injured parties, Harris and Klebold shot indiscriminately, often not even looking to who they were shooting.  The killers were [[Darwinists]]; they admired [[Charles Darwin]]'s theory of [[natural selection]]. The killers planned their attack beforehand and investigators later found descriptions in their notes about their intentions to kill. One of the murders wore a T-shirt displaying the text "NATURAL SELECTION" on the day of the massacre. However, it is also worth noting that Harris wrote many essays describing his ideal world where ALL humans are extinct: he had a great disdain for humanity as a whole.<ref>http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/salon.htm</ref><ref>Columbine (Dave Cullen)</ref>

Klebold and Harris were said to have been have been inspired by [[Nazi]] ideology: they appeared to have intentionally performed the shooting on [[Hitler]]'s birthday, April 20. However, in reality, the attack was planned for April 19, the anniversary of the [[Oklahoma City Bombing]], which Harris based his attack plan on. Harris' unintentional conspirator, Mark Manes, his ammunition supplier, did not deliver Harris' ammunition until the evening of the 19th, rather than the morning of the 18th as planned, forcing the date to be moved to the 20th. Harris also announced his hatred for racists and Nazis in his journal.<ref>http://acolumbinesite.com/eric/writing/journal/jindex.html</ref>
