Charles Manson claimed he was a Christian. He also claimed to be the second coming. However, trying to start a race war by killing the Tate's clearly puts him in the non-christian category regardless what he said or believed.
There are plenty of similar acts perpetrated by non-Christians but we don't bash atheism or claim it wouldn't have happened if they were Christian. By saying this happened because this person was a Christian puts you in the same boat as fervent religions that say if your bad your going to burn in hell.
Being a Christian is not about what you say but what you do. And no I'm neither Christian nor non-Christian.

wow sensitive much? Let me see where that part is where I said they were crazy because they were Christians.....hmmm not there. So were those people that burned "witches" not Christians? Were the people that persecuted the gnostic Christians not christian? Were the people that had slaves not Christians? As I'm sure you were going to respond they have nothing to do with the fact that this bitch was crazy and the bible doesn't predict the rapture. Buuut if you really want to know how I feel about it.
Anyone who can study of the history of the bible and think its some sacred holy doctrine would imo be a crazy christian, I mean of the hundreds of scriptures at the time a group of guys decided which ones they wanted in "their" Bible, also those that don't use the old brain to see that most of the things in the book are symbolic and not supposed to be taken literally which is 99% of them, also those that pray and pray and pray ASKING for shit but never listen to the "god"(meditate) and think they are "good-Christians" just for going to a church. Where did Cains wife come from again? The people that knew how to properly translate the Bible were persecuted and so formed secret societies that just ended up staying secret. I liked when the dead sea scrolls came out a lot of lols

26) The Savior said There is no sin, but it is you who make sin when you do the things that are like the nature of adultery, which is called sin.
27) That is why the Good came into your midst, to the essence of every nature in order to restore it to its root.
28) Then He continued and said, That is why you become sick and die, for you are deprived of the one who can heal you.
29) He who has a mind to understand, let him understand.
30) Matter gave birth to a passion that has no equal, which proceeded from something contrary to nature. Then there arises a disturbance in its whole body.

39) When He said this He departed.
