Time to give up the ghost man.
David Koresh, was MOST CERTAINLY, a self proclaimed Christian.
No one ever said he was a Catholic...i doth belive it is you that is mixing that up.

Again, it wasn't Koresh himself that motivated McVeigh's action, it was the federal government's response at Waco and Ruby Ridge. In McVeigh's mind, by using tanks against their own citizens, the US government had crossed the line into tyranny and therefore as a patriot he had to defend Americans. That was his motivation. He wasn't a follower of Koresh, and his religion played no role in the bombings.
