Christian and just crazy

Maverick Dean Bryan, a Christian activist who seems crazy, is sitting in jail after threatening to hang seven mayors unless they replaced Common Core books with the bible. He seems crazy, but may just be on the left tail of IQ bell curve.

People like Bryan set self-defeating traps by sending traceable letters and posting ads in local newspapers. They are not smart enough to hide their intentions. Acting out loud is an effective way to grab a moment in the news and become important. Did Bryan really think he could pull this off? He is dim and coupled with his delusional Christian lunacy, becomes the subject of jest.

What happens when the next Maverick Dean Bryan appears and instead of spouting insanity, he acts on it? What if the next guy is smart? What if he is organized and understands technology? What if he hangs mayors, gays or atheists? This kind of scenario keeps me up at night. What if the next guy is the equivalent of Islamic terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. What if he embraces terrorism?

I'm never sure whether it is a matter of them not being smart enough or whether they are just so full of the "holy spirit" that they are not concerned with our laws. I have to think, for example, that when Christians murder physicians who perform medical procedures of which they disapprove they know what they are doing is illegal and that they will likely be punished. I suspect that they do it anyway because...Jesus.

I think they tend to be dumb or at least below average. Actions like murdering a physician seem heroic to them, but they fail to see the consequences of their actions. I’ve always linked that to an being unable to reason. As I follow those cases, it sure appears to hold true.
