On a dating web site, Mercer described himself as “Not Religious, Not Religious, but Spiritual.”

Source: Oregon community college shooter was bitter

Although I have seen several articles stating that the Oregon shooter was targeting Christians, this is the first article that gives a source for that information as well as quotations of what the shooter was asking. The statements do not make clear whether the shooter was targeting Christians or whether he was expressing some twisted belief that he was sending them home to the Lord. Very sad. According to a sister-in-law, there were Christians in the shooter’s family.
