Is Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik a Christian?
By RICHARD SWIER
I am not a psychologist nor do I have any special insights into what makes Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik tick. However, I do have common sense and I am a Christian. For me the answer to the headline question is simple. If he was ever a Christian, he stopped being one the moment he began contemplating the murders of his fellow citizens.
At that moment he not only violated the law of man, he violated the supreme law of God.
As Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6–21 states: “You shall not murder.” It may be a good idea for all citizens of Norway to begin reading the Bible in earnest. Going back to their Christian roots will help Norway heal and help prevent future events such as this.
There are, however, other indicators that Breivik stopped being a Christian. It has to do with his embracing of “reprogenetics”. In paragraph 3.93 on page 1196 of his Manifesto Breivik states:
3.93 Reprogenetics and the future. Reprogenetics is a term referring to the merging of reproductive and genetic technologies expected to happen in the near future as techniques like germinal choice technology become more available and more powerful. The term was coined by Lee M. Silver, a professor of molecular biology at Princeton University, in his 1997 book Remaking Eden.
Reprogenetics is a hybrid form of eugenics. Eugenics was the ideology embraced by Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, H.G. Wells, American author and put into practical application by Adolf Hitler, the creator of the “Final Solution.”
Breivik states, “According to Silver, the main differences between reprogenetics and eugenics, the ‘science’ of improving the gene pool which in the first half of the 20th century became infamous for the brutal policies it inspired, is that most eugenics programs were compulsory programs imposed upon citizens by governments trying to enact an ultimate goal. Reprogenetics, by contrast, would be pursued by individual parents, who would be trying to improve their children with the same motivations that compel them to purchase expensive courses in preparation for standardised testing (e.g. the SAT).”
According to Breivik, “Creating a World Bank of Genotypes would be an anti-racist solidarity project which would contribute to prevent conflict and war.” So, in Breivik’s view this is a kinder and gentler form of racial purity.
David Klinghoffer, a Senior Fellow at Discovery Institute notes, “Breivik likes that in contrast to the old pseudoscience of eugenics, which resulted in forced sterilizations, the new pseudoscience of reprogenetics proposed by Silver relies on voluntary methods — though it’s hardly less chilling in its way, envisioning a race of near god-men, which Silver calls “cognition-enhance GenRich.” Breivik, however, also drew on earlier influential eugenicists like Madison Grant (cited, again, by name) in theorizing about the superior virtues of the “Nordic” race, being lost through “race-mixing.”
Reprogenetics is certainly anti-Christian.
Finally, Breivik embraces what he, and others, call “National Darwinism.” According to Klinghoffer, “This dark vision is not his invention. It’s a spin-off of what he aptly calls ‘National Darwinism,’ which got its start in the writing of Charles Darwin. While a gentle soul in person and wishing no harm to anyone, Darwin envisioned a picture of the world that equates “extermination” (a favorite word of Darwin’s) with biological advancement. I’ve written elsewhere about the historical, moral consequences of Darwinism, quite apart from any explanatory value of natural selection in biology.”
National Darwinism is anti-Christian.
So, my simple common sense analysis of Anders Breivik is that if he ever was lead by the teaching of Jesus Christ he was embraced by the devil and became evil incarnate. He fell from grace and will be punished by man but more importantly punished by God for time immemorial.

“If you’re a Christian and you see this Norway murderer, you say, I have these teachings and I haven’t murdered anyone, so the teachings can’t be the problem, So what is the problem? does it say for a Christian to murder? my bible says this
“M’t:5:43: Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
M’t:5:44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
M’t:5:45: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
M’t:5:46: For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
M’t:5:47: And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
M’t:5:48: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
so what can be said?
Is Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik a Christian?
If you read His manifesto you will come up to see that He was An Anti Christian, and looks like he was a follower of the nazis teachings of Hiter and Darwin.
“Leading Nazis, and early 1900 influential German biologists, revealed in their writings that Darwin’s theory and publications had a major influence upon Nazi race policies. Hitler believed that the human gene pool could be improved by using selective breeding similar to how farmers breed superior cattle strains. In the formulation of their racial policies, Hitler’s government relied heavily upon Darwinism, especially the elaborations by Spencer and Haeckel. As a result, a central policy of Hitler’s administration was the development and implementation of policies designed to protect the ‘superior race’. This required at the very least preventing the ‘inferior races’ from mixing with those judged superior, in order to reduce contamination of the latter’s gene pool. The ‘superior race’ belief was based on the theory of group inequality within each species, a major presumption and requirement of Darwin’s original ‘survival of the fittest’ theory. This philosophy culminated in the ‘final solution’, the extermination of approximately six million Jews and four million other people who belonged to what German scientists judged as ‘inferior races’.
RICHARD SWIER, who gave the right to judge this man’s beliefs? Did G-d retire and give you that right? Were his actions that of a Christian, Muslim, or a Jew? The answer is no. It is my opinion that you have no right to judge his beliefs, only his actions.
I want to thank the author for his insight. It’s interesting to me that this story has been in the focus of the news for days now yet the attempt to kill innocent civilians in the Ft. Hood area (again) has gone almost completely ignored in national media.
Granted, NOBODY DIED. But I wonder: why does it take death for the media to react with horror?
