It will be someone who can write a nice No True Scotsman script accounting for the fact that the shooter was a churchgoing Christian. So my bet is on KF.
ETA: I feel deeply sorry for the victims and their friends and families. |
KF:
| Quote | | “He wasn’t an extrovert at all. If there was any conversation, it would be because I initiated it, not because he did,” said Jerald Borgie, senior pastor of Penasquitos Lutheran Church. Borgie said he never saw the suspect mingle with others his age at church. |
Italics by KF
| Quote | | If you have a bright, somewhat shy academically inclined kid of a family in your church, who is pursuing university studies for an advanced degree, it would be reasonable that a pastor would try to keep in touch. That suggests that the lack of interaction basically since Holmes went off to college was probably because the young man drifted from church involvement, which was already inadequate |
| Quote | | He also probably had very little social and counselling support, in a context where a solid line to a good pastor, priest or Rabbi would be worth its weight in gold. |
| Quote | | Multiply that by the evolutionary materialistic scientism milieu of neuroscience and the top candidate explanation is that this young man was moving to the sort of worldview that dominates this field and similar fields. |
Told you so. ;-)

KF: | Quote | | I would normally recommend a Master’s programme for at least a year, then an upgrade to a PhD if there is some showing of the ability. |
You can recommend all you like KF but you don't have the qualifications, training or work experience for your recommendations about academic training to actually mean anything.
| Quote | | Multiply that by the evolutionary materialistic scientism milieu of neuroscience and the top candidate explanation is that this young man was moving to the sort of worldview that dominates this field and similar fields. Which is the expected ideology. And indeed, the bright kid from church not prepared for the issues and rhetoric of the college campus going off to college with the Bible on the top of his clothes in his suitcase and coming back home with it under the bottom — or outright dumping it across his first year — is a stock story. |
So is that based on your years of experience in academic life KF, or are you just making it up again?
