Jared Lee Loughner

A couple of weeks ago, I posted the following on the group blog Talk To Action, about suspected mass murderer Jared Lee Loughner, who is believed to have shot Arizona Congress Representative Gabrielle Giffords:

• Jared Lee Loughner and the "sovereign citizen" movement - Tue Jan 11, 2011


• More about Jared Loughner's politics, plus some conspiracy debunking resources - Tue Jan 18, 2011


• Religious right wingers blame Jared Loughner's actions on atheism and occultism - Tue Jan 18, 2011

In the first two posts I discuss what is known about Jared Loughner's political beliefs by people who are actually knowledgeable about various fringe political beliefs -- solid information which did NOT get much attention in the mass media, being drowned out by ill-informed debate over whether he was a leftist or a follower of the likes of Sarah Palin and Glen Beck.

In the third post, I discuss the background of the claim, by many right wingers, that Loughner is/was a Satanist or Pagan.

Business Insider - favorable references to Satan - wow!

On the Business Insider website, the blog post Is Satan a Good Investor by James Altucher, Jan. 28, 2011, contains numerous favorable interpretations of Satan as portrayed in the Bible.

I wonder what kind of a reaction this will provoke, if any, from the more conservative and/or fanatical believers in the Abrahamic religions.
