The adjectives used by atheists (and sane people in general) to describe OBL “hunter” Gary Brooks Faulkner have not been flattering. Mostly “crazy” and “delusional” have been bandied about.
For those who are unawares, Gary Faulkner was recently captured by the Pakistani police wandering about in Pakistan looking for Osama Bin Laden. So he could kill him. By himself. Without knowing the language. Without proper weaponry or combat skills. Without having any intelligence support or network in place.
Yeah.
In describing this jerk-off, I’d like to throw in ”arrogant” as well. I can think of no better word to describe this self-styled Christian ninja than arrogant. The haughty impudence and “surely we Christians know better than the experts” attitude exuded by sibling Scott Faulkner in this video clip from CNN was enough to have me screaming obscenities at my computer monitor.
I’m embarrassed to say that I hail from the same country as these men. These dickheads have got to be Teabaggers. With ignorant arrogance like this…they can’t be anything else. Except perhaps Nazis.

There’s a thin line between commitment and getting committed.

I’m going to have to disagree with you on this one. I think all Christian extremists in the U.S. who are truly serious about their religion and believe that some sort of god is on their side should be encouraged to go to the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region without any weapons, equipment, or training, and fight the Muslim extremists. Maybe they can use their magic Jesus powers to find IEDs so that our soldiers don’t have to keep needlessly dying.
If their god really is on their side, they will do us all a favor by eliminating the Muslim extremists and letting our military come home. And if not, well, at least the U.S. would be better for their absence.

Not clear on what you are disagreeing with.
Are you at odds with my statement that these Christians are arrogant?

In fairness, if one of my siblings did something this crazy I think I’d have trouble saying on national TV “yeah, that was batshit insane colossal fucktardery.” I suspect that there’s some actual mental illness at work here.

There has to be some kind of mental illness going on. I’m known for being blunt, so if one of my siblings did something that nuts, I’d just not let myself be interviewed. Period.
