“Devout Christian.”
That’s how the Daily Mail described Austin bomber Mark Anthony Conditt after it was revealed he was the man behind the nearly two weeks of terror inflicted upon the Texas capital.

After what we’ve learned about Conditt, it could very well be the case that he was once a faithful Christian. His mother, under whom he was home-schooled, announced that upon high school graduation, Conditt was “taking some time to figure out what he wants to do … maybe a mission trip.”
That’s one of the few clues we have as to Conditt’s Christianity. There are a handful of blog posts he supposedly wrote against gay marriage and abortion, but those two issues aren’t exclusively Christian. Orthodox Jewish and Muslim individuals usually disagree with the liberal stance on both those topics.
But even if we grant that Conditt was a Christian (a perverted one, certainly), liberals are now using his religion to bash the followers of Christ, mocking conservatives for refusing to say anything disparaging about Christianity.
Take a look at this disgusting anti-Christian bigotry:
BREAKING: Austin terrorist identified as Mark Conditt.
Conditt was home schooled, a devout Christian, & contemplated a Mission trip.
My questions:
•Is this suicide bomber a “Radical Christian terrorist?”
•Why is WH silent?

Gonna solve this one with conservative logic.
A. We should have had more bombs at FedEx shops to scare him away.
B. We should have banned white Christian men from being in the country.https://t.co/VptHkLqeI6— Nerf the Earth #BoycottNRA (@nerfburglar) March 21, 2018
White privilege is Never being labeled a terrorist No matter How many lives youTake & Christian privilege is when your religion never be labeled as violent no matter how many atrocities it followers do.#AustinBombings

This is so absurd, it almost reads like a parody. Only a few of these leftists are actually criticizing Conditt for killing two people. They’re using this as an opportunity to malign Christians.
There’s no excuse for Conditt’s actions. But let’s be serious for a second: if he was a devout Christian, Conditt was an anomaly. Nearly all terrorists who profess a religion are an anomaly from their purported creed.
Liberals shouldn’t be using this to tear down Christianity. Doing so betrays America’s best values. It’s shameful. Period.
