Recent increases in tragic mass-murders perpetrated by young individuals have prompted questions about their rationale for doing so. Below is collected evidence that their motives have been overwhelmingly atheistic or driven by hatred of God.
| Year | Name(s) | Education | Killed | Wounded | Beliefs | Liberal response |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 | Tim Kretschmer | Germany public school | 15 before he was killed | several others | wore all black, indicative of anti-Christianity | denial of significance of all-black clothing by a teenager, and Europe calls for more gun control; silence by American liberals who fear losing reelection if they push gun control |
| 2008 | Stephen Kazmierczak | Northern Illinois University | 5 + himself | 16 | Fan of Nietzsche's "The Antichrist," obsessed with self-injury, was a "cutter" in public high school, wore all black to carry out his massacre, and was still a public school student at age 27 | Feigned shock at the fact that the gunman didn't "fit" the typical mold of a killer, when in fact the gunman wore all black and was taught at a public school. |
| 2007 | Robert Hawkins | Papillion-La Vista public high school | 8 + himself | 5 | Targeted Christmas shoppers; wore black; "I can't take this meaningless existence anymore"[1] Told a therapist that "he is not sure if there is a God or life after death and that when he dies, he'll probably go to hell." Told social workers he was satanic and acknowledged that he often acted before thinking of the consequences. [2] | Avoided suggesting gun control lest Democrats lose West Virginia and Wisconsin in 2008 presidential election |
| 2007 | Pekka-Eric Auvinen | Jokela High School public high school (Finland) | 8 + himself | About 12 | Atheist, "I, as a natural selector, will eliminate all who I see unfit." | Finland already had gun control |
| 2007 | Seung-Hui Cho | Westfield public high school (VA), then Virgina Tech public university | 32 + himself | 25 | "Ismail Ax" suggested Muslim beliefs, felt "Jesus was crucifying me." | Poem comparing it to environmental harm[3] |
| 2007 | Asa Coon | SuccessTech public school Academy (Cleveland) | Himself | 4 | Said he didn't believe in God and didn't respect God, killed after classmate disagreed; wore black[4] | Under-publicized because of his anti-God statements |
| 2006 | Kimveer Gill | Rosemere High School (Quebec) | 1 + himself | 20 | "I hate God" and "I hate religious zealots" | Canada already had gun control |
| 2002 | Robert Steinhäuser | Erfurt public school (Germany) | 16 + himself | Wore black entirely, literally from head to toe; stopped only when a teacher pulled off his black mask | German gun control already strict, demands for limitations on computer games | |
| 1999 | Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold | Columbine public high school (CO) | 13 + themselves | 23 | Atheistic, singled out a victim who believed in God. | Demand gun control, causing Al Gore to lose West Virginia, Tennessee and Arkansas in 2000 presidential election |
| 1998 | Mitchell Johnson and Andrew Golden | Westside Middle School | 5 | 10 | Mitchell Johnson, the older of the two, was obsessed with rap lyrics like "coming to school and killing all the kids."[5] | Liberals blame the guns rather than the killer's obsession with rap music. Johnson is released at age 21 but is later arrested for new crimes. |
| 1997 | Michael Carneal | Heath public high school (KY) | 3 | 5 | Murdered girls as they prayed in a prayer group | Under-publicized due to anti-Christian nature |
| 1989 | Marc Lépine | École Polytechnique de Montréal | 14 + himself | 10 | Hated feminism for reasons unknown. His religious views were unpublicized but he was raised in a home with an immigrant Muslim father who was allegedly highly critical of the feminist view of women's role in society; Marc's mother was an ex-nun; and his sister had allegedly committed suicide[6] | Ignore the background of the killer and instead use the massacre to push for stricter gun control and more laws concerning violence against women, and establish in Canada a National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. |
