With the NZ shootings, it is clear that christian terrorism is growing yet the govt does nothing to address it. Should trump do more to stop christian extremists?

I don't know let's get creative. We can have a war with two christian countries like we did with two muslin countries in iraq and afghanistan.

Obviously the only reasonable answer is to outlaw Christianity.

What's his religion got to do with it? Did he claim to do it for Christianity? What's his motive?
From what I've read, he is a white supremacist.

White supremacists are christian. In fact, atheists, jews, hindus, muslims are groups they hate.

Not all White supremacists are Christian, but many are. For example , the Wotansvolk are white supremacists that are Neo-pagan.
 
No, they aren't. They might pretend to be, but like Jesus said, they're wolves in sheep's clothing.

No true scotsman fallacy. It's like muslims that claim islamic terrorists are not true muslims.

Jesus is the founder of the faith, and his description of wolves dressed up in sheep's clothing fits White supremacists to a T.

Warning signs of terror attack in New Zealand have been apparent, experts say | Stuff.co.nz
CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM

University of Auckland Professor Douglas Pratt is an international expert in religious terrorism and the author of Religion and Extremism: Rejecting Diversity.

He said the language, phrases and world-view of the suspected Dean Ave gunman's manifesto pointed to this being a form of Christian terrorism.

"This is not simply political, it is a deeply-engrained religious extremism.

"These people act on the premise that Muslims are the people to be feared because they are seen to be extreme, and this would be considered a pre-emptive strike."

Pratt, who has been tracking this type of terrorism since the London bombings, said there had always been an underground thread of this in New Zealand. It entwined with far-right white supremacist beliefs.

"As we become more secular religion goes more underground, including extreme forms of it. I was expecting at some stage it would manifest in a violent act."

I don't believe that I have read anywhere that the shooter was Christen, he wrote “The nation with the closest political and social values to my own is the People’s Republic of China.” That would be Communist China. The Chinese government is cracking down on religion while advancing atheism.
 
They are not Christian...

They are christians in the sense that that is what they want to call themselves. They are not very good christians. And there christianity is nothing more than creating a fake belief to endorse their own hateful agenda.

The real trick here is to understand that they are not what christianity is supposed to be about.
 
The terrorist was a Red China communist sympathizer. The "expert" apparently missed that part of the equation. On a related note, Islamophobia is in no way exclusive to Christian ideals; not in the least. So I guess I go straight back to my original question.

I have also heard that the terrorist in nz was an atheist.

But you have misunderstood the article. It is not a claim that christian = terrorism. It is a claim about religious terrorism, ie. That terrorists try to to influence hate between groups such as christian and muslim. His actions were not based on political ideals but instead upon fermenting hate between religions.

If successful in creating that hate the result is that we now have fanatics who believe their religion is under attack and that fighting back and killing people of other religions is the way to go. Christian terrorism is not a comment on main stream christianity. It is about a minority of fanatics.
