And he POSTED about it on the internet.
I actually called the non-emercengy Livermore PD number, but they're already all over this.
I'm surprised that not even Livermore's newspaper site doesn't have anything on this.
Also : killing yourself to protest something is stupid. Setting yourself on fire in front of the worst place to have a fire is not only stupid, it's selfish and inconsiderate of the safety of innocent people getting $4-a-gallon gas.

Reread this paragraph:
On May 3rd, 2007, at 3:07 PM PST in front of a busy gas station in Livermore, CA, I am going to kill myself for peace to prove the futility of fighting a War for Peace. Shortly afterwards, I will read a statement regarding my sacrifice. It will basically say, "Chris died for peace."
And see if you can spot the joke.

Isn't he concerned about his contribution to global warming?

How can the slaughter at VT be the responsibility of the current administration?

I'm really not seeing it - maybe I'm missing something?
I saw the part about how after he's dead he's going to read some message, but I figured he's just a douche who can't write and miswrote the sentence.
If it is a joke, that guy's going to end up in some serious trouble with the Livermore police.

That's the joke: how can he read a message afer he's dead? That, and the fact the he says "Chris died for peace" makes it pretty clear he's doing religious and political satire.

Or maybe not. That's why he'll be on fire. Does he say he'll use some igniting device?

There's nothing mad about it. It's the ultimate form of protest.

He's protesting against the oppression of Buddhism by demonstrating the value of yoga. His remarkable control over his own body and mind is shaming the regime by proving the superiority of his system even as he dies.

To be a RELIGIOUS NUT™, you have to be a Christian.
Hindu - Freak out if someone steps on a worm. Nuts? Nope.
Muslim - Riots in the streets over a cartoon of a prophet. Nuts? Nah.
Christian - Practice abstinence. YOU'RE FREAKIN' CRAZY!!!

Believe that every animal was put on a giant boat? That the Earth was created in 7 days?
Sorry, Christians have their share of nutty beliefs too.

Six days. On the seventh day He rested and caused an apple to fall from the tree in the garden of eden onto Newton's head, then Newton invented gravity. Up until that point everything God created had been floating around. God subcontracts sometimes.

Awesome analysis there BlueSky! You da man!
Maybe Newton was actually Jesus? Think about it, how are all of those people supposed to delivery a baby in a manger if everything was just floating around?
P.S. what is frankensence and murr?

Believing existence and everything around us was purely a "Mistake" or "coincidence" or "slight of chance" is pretty far fetched too. But hey, that's just MHO.

Do they still exist?
What a lovely Sunday this is! I'm enjoying munching on some Jesus flesh and drinking some jesus blood... mmmm......
Where do churches get the little Jesus flesh tablet communion wafer thingies? What are they, little pieces of bread? I've never done the communion thing, so I honestly don't know what this scene is about. What would happen if you bought a ton of these and scarfed them all down?
Cannibalism does seem a litte nutty though, I gotta admit.
The point here is let's refrain from the silly church on church action, most religions seem nutty to outsiders.

You do know that your white text is factually incorrect, right? Unless you think this would apply to Google? Just checking...

Your argument only touches Christian fundamentalists/literalists. There are creationists that don't believe the world was created in 6 days (meaning six solar days). That's strict creationism.

And there are Muslims that did not feel upset enough about the cartoons to riot (and likely some that weren't upset at all).

I don't believe existence is a mistake, coincidence, or "slight of chance" (whatever that is). Moreover, I don't know any scientist who does.
