Testimony: Profiles in Faith - David Berkowitz - 1 of 4

[dumbtrooper]

common we all done shit we all fell anger never judge if you dont want to be judge if hes true to himself he know he did wrong

[megamenvlad]

why dont you buy your peace in someplace else you sac of shit murder low life screw up killer.why dont you repair being slave in africa or some hell or shitty hole in timbatu! f ku! murder! burn in hell!

[l33tpwnzord]

@megamenvlad

Isn't it amazing that Jesus forgives him?

[Rachella38]

No matter what you've done God will forgive you and wipe your slate clean, if you'll only ask him.

Berkowitz was demon possessed. If you're going to blame anybody, blame the devil.

[louisgdehaut]

He was evil, if the devil ever exist: fu ck him if he's against us. I know for sure the Creator exist, but the devil, I hope that's not true. But I can see the devil when I see someone get killed for no reason, or not a good enough reason to kill, like auto-defence or somethinmg like that.

[DogMeatJesus]

where would christrians and god be without a devil to point their fingers. see god needs satan to exist. things wont ever be perfect so a devil is needed to explain what people call evil.there is nothing bad about being human and doing what humans do.its the church who want us to rob us of our human nature.and you dont have any proff of a creator so no you cant say you know for sure he is real.if he is may he strike me dead right now!!!!

[DogMeatJesus]

The only demons that exist lives in us.

[Rachella38]

Demons can't inhabit a Christian because the Holy Spirit is living in them. Light overcomes evil, so they can't dwell together.

[DogMeatJesus]

satan is a scapegoat used by christians. the son of sam is satan and the son of hope is god and they are in the same body. so the deamons do dwell close.god is said to have created evil but he also crated good it all comes from the same place.

[Rachella38]

well dogmeat, sounds like you have sympathy for satan. And you shouldn't. He's the enemy of our souls.

Yes God created evil to give us a choice. He doesn't want robots or puppets, but people who really love Him.

Demons are always around us, trying to tempt us to sin, and creating chaos in the world, but they can't possess a Christian because the Holy Spirit lives in us.

[DogMeatJesus]

Where would you christians be without satan to take the blame? god created choas not the demons. this asshole went around killing people by himself and as crazy as it sounds,he thinks it makes him look better if he saids that satan made him do it. which is kinda sad but true that people do believe this crap.

[Canlander7]

I don't blame Satan. I blame my carnal self.

And we feel sorry for people like this murderer or you. We shouldn't be shouting you or anyone else down. We are equally guilty. And since we as believers have been forgiven, we should pray for you and beg you to turn to Christ before you take that blind leap into death. We forgive this murderer and we should forgive you as God has forgiven us. I hope that you will read the Bible and try to understand it rather than make your own interpretation.

[DharmaDeathFolks]

Lucifer and Jesus was the same guy... they are only one entity...

[Rachella38]

What makes you think that?

Jesus Christ is love. He died for all of our sins.

Lucifer hates us all, does nothing, but lie, steal, kill and destroys.

Two totally different beings.

[warriorspikes51]

"My people of destroyed for lack of knowledge" Jesus Christ is the Son of God.....Satan is the ultimate evil and the enemy of God

[InertiaFilms]

What is a "bad" person, Ken? What makes a "bad" person? What is bad?

We address the victims' families and how sorry DB is for the murders. But the entire video is not about the victims. It is mostly about God's grace for ALL. I feel horrible of victim's families & so does DB.

I told u I sold (9) DB DVDs in 2009. Nine! I have given away hundreds. You keep telling me how wrong/bad i am, yet you refuse to tell me what "right" is. You don't want "truth" or facts. You want to be angry .

[InertiaFilms]

Ken, let's leave God out of the equation for a second. How do YOU know for certain what is right & wrong? You keep telling me that my views are wrong, and yet you refuse to tell me what you base your moral compass on.

I have told you where I get mine. You disagree but at least I have an answer to the question. At least I have a LCD to base my worldview on. Disagree but at least respect that I have a reasonable defense to submit to you.

[laurierken]

I've read/reread your comments. Referring to Berkowitz as DB qualifies you (to me) as a Berkowitz fan/freak. It's just that simple. And you keep going on about not knowing what is right or wrong, thus your moral compass is broken. Everything past "why are you so angry" is nonsense gobbeldygook. Were you drunk when you wrote it? Stolen items cannot be reapired. Those kids lives were stolen. And cannot be repaired. I'm right, your wrong, end of story.

[InertiaFilms]

You're "right" & I'm "wrong"---according to who or what?

You can't tell me on what your "right" & "wrong" is based. My moral compass follows the teaching of Christ/God/the Bible. You disagree, but at least I can give you a reasonable basis for my beliefs and worldview. Your "right" & "wrong" are based on how you feel/your emotions. But that is subjective.

You can't tell me I'm "wrong" when u can't tell what "right" is or is based on. "Crime beyond repair" doesn't hold up to examination

[laurierken]

Ask the parents of the kids that were killed. Shot. Had their lives ended by Berkowitz's actions. I CAN tell you about right and wrong. And the more I truly consider your words and their meaning, the more I think you are truly a bad person. Behind your thin christ/god/bible shield, your twisted.  No, seriously.

[InertiaFilms]

We all agree that DB's actions were wrong, esp Berkowitz himself. We agree on that.

But, I am "truly a bad person" according to what universal standard? why are you "right" ---& why am i "wrong"? you can't answer the question. Give me a reasonable, logical, understandable rationale for where you get your sense of right & wrong.

Why am I "wrong" to say that Christ can forgive anyone of anything if he/she repents and believes? Why? What do you base your belief system on?

[InertiaFilms]

why are you so angry?

surely you must realize that your reasoning spins in circles. you have no foundation for what is right and wrong. i have no idea what "crime beyond repair" means. does it have to actually have to be a crime? and who says what is "beyond repair"? is lying beyond repair? sometimes lying is a crime and sometimes not. is self defense killing okay b/c it can't be repaired? and who's definition is this? stolen items can be repaired. does that count? it's nonsense.

[laurierken]

Your lack of regard for the families of the slain, the lack of concern for those people. Your lack of empathy. That angers me. I'd truly break your nose upon meeting you. I do have foundation for right/wrong. I've been complimented on my common sense so my reasoning is intact, yours suspect. You are an opportunist. You've profited from the sale of this tripe, you know it, so do I. Your questions are an attempt at diversion. Killing a man's daughter or son is a 'crime beyond repair.

[InertiaFilms]

You miss the entire point of the video. DB (using initials saves characters) has been saying since 1987 how awful his crimes were. In this video he says that repeatedly, calling himself the most undeserving person of forgivenness. He is sorry but yet still must pay the price for his crimes--life in prison.

The central theme is that anyone can be forgiven by God regardless of what you have done in life. Anyone.

Profit? In 2008 I sold DB (9) DVDs. We give away for FREE most of this DVDs.

[laurierken]

Hey, tell me something. Why are you so reluctant or hesitant to acknowlege the raw agony and sorrow that monster you glorify caused? Virtually nothing aside from mentioning that he had a relationship (oh goody!) with one of the families. I may not be able to carry on like this much more as your abject and blatant disregard for THOSE people *really* irks me. I'd genuinely love to kick your face in.

[InertiaFilms]

Reluctant? I was assuming you had watched the program: perhaps not. We tell the story of the awful chaos, and pain, and agony that Berkowitz caused during the SOS killings. DB says he was the most worthless human being. We are not glorifying DB at all. Watch the program.

We are saying that there is hope in life for EVERYONE, even the worst among us. We give glory to Christ, the forgiver of sins large & small. It's about God's grace, forgiveness, hope and mercy---not glory to DB.

[laurierken]

"David is a completely different man that the horrible man from the 1970's." "may i ask: how do you know it's an act? what evidence would you present that points to Berkowitz's conversion being an act?" "he has been a model prisoner for 20 years." "David doesn't want out. " (First name basis referral) Troy, you are a Berkowitz fan. Plain and simple. Your comments fawn all over him and you downplay the cold-blooded murders with soft words. "Wicked" "Bad things he did". Your a fan...

[InertiaFilms]

Ken, I am a fan of Jesus Christ & the forgiveness He offers. Even DB is not a fan of DB.

Downplay the murders? "The Son of Sam. One of the most infamous serial killers in US history" & "his satanic killing spree created an atmoshere of panic, fear and hysteria."

Oh, are you ever going to answer my question about where you get your sense of "right" & "wrong"? It should be a very simple answer to a very simple question.

and, I usually call people that I know by their first name.

[CthulhuIsTheAnswer]

Sorry to interject- but there are very well-supported evolutionary reasons for why humans have a sense of morality.

Oh, wait, you fundies don't believe in evolution. Sorry, my mistake.

[InertiaFilms]

Sounds like you have FAITH in evolution. So when did evolution begin? and with what materials?

[CthulhuIsTheAnswer]

Actually, I'm a biology major, and it makes perfect sense to me. So the "You accept evolution on faith" argument doesnt hold up for me, like it might with less educated atheists. Try again.

[InertiaFilms]

okay, i'll take you at your word that no faith is required on your part. so exactly how and when did life begin?

[CthulhuIsTheAnswer]

That is an entirely separate field of science, called abiogenesis, that has nothing to do with modern evolutionary theory.

It has no bearing on my argument that there are evolutionary reasons for why we have morality.

[InertiaFilms]

well then, let's discuss both:

1. let me be specific: when and how did human, macro evolution begin?

2. where do you derive your evolutionary sense of right & wrong?

[CthulhuIsTheAnswer]

Science does not distinguish between "micro" and "macro" evolution. Only creationists do.

As for your second point, I would be happy to go into detail about this via email. Youtube comments are no way to conduct a proper debate.

pandariffic at gmail com

[InertiaFilms]

i am just looking a for a specific date as to when the human race began. i have read many, many various dates for the origin of human life from evolutionist sources.

[laurierken]

Hey, tell me something. Why are you so reluctant or hesitant to acknowlege the raw agony and sorrow that monster you glorify caused? Virtually nothing aside from mentioning that he had a relationship (oh goody!) with one of the families. Would you be capable of that same kind of forgiveness Troy if someone were to cause you that kind of sorrow? Mmm. I wonder...

[InertiaFilms]

Ken, I am not capable, humanly speaking, of forgiving someone of murdering my loved one. I am not. It is only by the grace of God that I am able to forgive anyone of anything. I am not able in my own strength to forgive such an awful crime.

However, "i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me", if I may quote the Apostle Paul.

I know it sounds odd that a serial killer can find forgiveness, but that is what I claim that Christ proposes to us. Is it really possible? Can it be?

[laurierken]

Troy Thomas, you are quite liberal smearing that forgiveness around. QUITE liberal. Would that same forgiveness extend to someone like, ah, say Hitler for the sake of an arguement. 6 million plus would have issues with your forgiveness. This is the same, just a smaller scope..  Hey how IS life on Ezzard Street SE these days? I think this video should be removed. Really, I do, don't you?

[InertiaFilms]

Hey, we're scuba diving shipwrecks over here on Ezzard St.

To answer your question: ANYONE can be forgiven if he/she repents & believes. Perhaps you are not aware that the Apostle Paul was a serial killer of Christians no less. Yet God used him to write most of the books of the NT.

But you bring up a great point: why is what Hitler did "wrong"???? Hitler broke no German laws in killer 6M Jews, yet you admit it was "wrong". Why was it "wrong", Ken? Why is murder/stealing wrong?

[laurierken]

LOL, and you aren't smart enough to dive a wreck.......

[InertiaFilms]

let me ask this: You have stated that I am a "bad person." Ken, are you a good person?

[laurierken]

Yeah, I am.

[InertiaFilms]

Please explain why.

[InertiaFilms]

I'm going to sleep. Thank you for the lively discussion tonight. I wish you the best, Ken.

[laurierken]

I hope someone kicks your face in.

[laurierken]

Again, you are deft at steering off course. And adept at twisting things to suit your needs. I did not 'admit' anything. Admitting implies I said it was otherwise. It's wrong in SEVERAL religions (of which I subscribe to none). And it is wrong according to common sense.

[InertiaFilms]

So, are you saying Hitler killing 6M Jews was "right"? Tell me plainly then: Was Hitler killing 6M people right or wrong? Those are the only two options.

But, wait, you still haven't told me what right & wrong is! I have asked you about (8) times for your moral compass---and you accuse me of "steering off course"?

[laurierken]

A) The feelings of the victims families aren't taken into consideration with this piece of garbage video.

B) You got rid of my comments of a year ago accusing you of being a profiteer ( No doubt about it, you are)

C) You foist your religion and it's tenets onto everyone. The bible does not 'teach' the bible states. It's up to a reader to either accept or reject it's 'teachings'. You remove that freedom of acceptance. Arrogant. You are a profiteer and an opportunist.

[InertiaFilms]

A. Did you know that Berkowitz has contacted all the families of the victims? did you know he has/had a relationship with one? the point of the video is forgiveness, which we all need. DB feels horrible for the families.

B. I get rid of all comments that include profanity which many of yours include. Is calling me a vulgar name a "crime beyond repair"?

C. Did u know that in scripture Jesus is called "Rabbi, Rabbi" by even unbelievers. "Rabbi, Rabbi" means "teacher, teacher."

[laurierken]

I am calling you a profiteer, which is a statement of fact. Not a vulgarity. And my comments last year contained no profanity, which makes you a liar. Don't lump me into your "all" whom need forgiving. You are truly close-minded and blind to the pain you cause.

[streetswell]

Berkowitz is still manipulating the system; he's sm,art enough to know he'll never be paroled, but he can still get attention and sympathy (not to mention jailhouse perks) by playing the redeemed sinner. It's just sad that so many well-intentioned Christians fall for this kind of crap.

[Presidentjh]

He doesn't have perks. He actually is serious about it.

What's so wrong with a man turning away from really what was pure evil, even if it's something that you think doesn't exist?

[damerz0405]

Oh wow....he found God!

As if the killings weren't bad enough now the religious fools are using him to further their cause.

[MPguy1959]

Who is worse serial killers or the executives of corporations and our government officials who stand behind "special interests", I vote for "serial killer", however I feel our government officials are as disillusioned as those sick serial killers.

[InertiaFilms]

Hmmm. David takes responsiblity for his wicked actions. He frees admits that. So, he is not "blaming" the devil.

Free will? The Bible teaches everyone since Adam & Eve are born with a "bound will" not free will. For Ex: We are all "born in sin", the "heart is wicked beyond compare", "none are righteous", "there is no one who seeks God", we are "dead in trespasses and sins." It is called being born with a sin nature/influenced by sin/incapable of not sinning.

Where do u get free will?

[kapemsgirl]

He's responsible for his own actions not the 'devil'. Whoever made this film obviously wasn't paying attention in sunday school. Christians believe we are born with free will. God and the devil can't force u to do anything. You choose to be a murder or you chose not to be.. its that simple.

[junkradio]

You aint getting out Dave forget about it!

[InertiaFilms]

David doesn't want out. That's why he wrote a letter to NY Gov. Pataki saying he didn't deserve parole and deserved to stay in prison for life.

[elburrodiablo]

You know its a sad day for Christianity, when they have to resort to using people like Berkowitz to recruit for them.

RELIGION IS IGNORANCE!

[InertiaFilms]

So, where do you get your sense of what is "right" or "wrong", "smart" or "ignorant"?

[elburrodiablo]

Lets see...family, friends, community, schools, law enforcement, etc.

Since when does religion teach you whats wrong and whats right??? Seems like they have been wrong all along..

[InertiaFilms]

Family, friends, community & law.....then I can only conclude that you agree with Adolph Hitler's Nazi Germany. (Hitler just changed the laws to rob, steal and kill people he hated).

So, your view is that might makes right. Pol Pot, Joseph Stalin and Saddam Hussein did the same. Your view is called relativism and has been responsible for millions of murders.

Are you serious? Religion doesn't teach right/wrong??? How about 10 commandments. You shall not murder/steal/lie... Moral absolutes.

[InertiaFilms]

Applying your standard regarding right and wrong, I consulted with my family, my friends, members of my community and school, and broke no laws doing so.

Everyone I spoke with agreed that Christianity is the only way to heaven. Therefore I must be right.

But what if I found people that disagreed that Christianity is the only way to heaven? Would they then be right as well? Obviously Christ can't be the only way to heaven AND not the only way to heaven. We can't both be "right."

[firstpeter18]

Great point. There can be only one "right". Jesus claimed to be the only way and that's one reason why people have a problem with Him. He also said that we are all dead in our sins and need a spiritual birth. People don't really like that either. If He is not the real deal then He is nothing at all but a fraud.

[elburrodiablo]

If you want to devote your entire life to the false hope based on a myth, than be my guest. All religions turn into mythology with time. I'm sure the Greeks and Romans were as adoment as you are...yet no one is praying to Jove or Zeus these days, or longing for an afterlife on Mt. Olympia.

Same thing will happen to Christianity, Islam, etc.

[InertiaFilms]

I noticed you didn't respond to "moral absolutes" answer.

You see, logically either you must believe in moral absolutes (morality that is true for all people, for all places, for all time); or you do not believe in moral absolutes.

If you do not believe in universal moral absolutes, then please stop telling me I am morally "wrong" about anything.

Again, either Jesus is the only way to heaven or he is not. But it can't be both.

[hiroyukil33t]

believe me christianity isn't the only way to heaven...

[firstpeter18]

This isn't recruiting. It's telling a story. There have always been some who believe and some who don't. Even after Jesus performed miracles people chose not to believe. He predicted that, too. It's okay to believe other things. But don't criticize others in doing it, and know that if Jesus is who He claimed to be, there will be hell to pay. If He's not who He claimed to be, then why are we so concerned about Him? Something significant happened in Berkowitz life. It would be hard to fake that.

[elburrodiablo]

Berkowitz obviously conquered some "inner demons" and if he and you believe it was a miracle, then so be it.

Unfortunately, "miracles" have scientific explanations behind them.

[firstpeter18]

Many scientists and educators, and the science community in general, decide to eliminate the possibility that God is actively at work, or that He exists at all. Then, having formed a world which excludes God, they set about to try and explain things using a set of only "natural" paradigms.

[wahlpage]

i realy dont like these christian promo flicks

[bigbill1991]

Did Berkowitz think about that when he killed?

[Sizz06]

You're just as "tainted" as the victims you subjugate. You villify people who believe something different.

[Sizz06]

You contradict yourself. You say you're all amoral, yet you dont harm children because they arent "tainted" by christianity. This claim of amorality is absolutely hilarious.. if you were amoral you wouldnt understand moral principle.. but you proceed to say that burning down churches is fun that you know will come with a punishment. You and your band of delusional satanists are immoral ("not adhering to ethical or moral principles") and just as brainwashed as the christians that you hate.

[alastornine]

Not harming children has nothing to do with morals. Go waste more of your life watching football, drinking beer or whatever you do while we lurk in the shadows manipulating the human sheep to our own ends.

[alastornine]

I have no problem with Berkowitz, Hitler, Stalin and countless others. Evil, hate, and the like is needed to balance out the universe. There is no light without darkness, no god without Satan.

[InertiaFilms]

Thanks again for your honesty.

I can't say I've ever meet anyone that openly admits that he/she has no problem with Hitler, Stalin, murderers, rape, stealing, etc.

Did you by chance see the part of the Berkowitz interview where he formerly had similar beliefs about good/evil "balance"?

One other question: do you ever thing about life after death?

[mharvill8674]

how dare you be of neutral alignment! ;-)

[alastornine]

Of course I practice these amoral teachings. I also teach others, I have been the High Priest/Grand Master of a couple satanic organizations and am presently one of two chief officers of a non internet based underground Order. We do not harm children because they are still pure and untainted by christiany.

[InertiaFilms]

Oddly enough, I thank you for your honesty, if indeed these things you say are truthful. Of course, ironically, truth and honesty are Christian values that are despied by Lucifer.

[alastornine]

We also practice "The seven deadly sins" since they are nothing more than our true human nature. They were set up as sins so the church could make money off of them...make human nature a sin and you are going to have a lot of steady customers looking to be absolved of those sins for a price..The founders of your jehova based religions weren't entirely fools.

[InertiaFilms]

Sounds like you are perhaps referring to the Catholic religion, with references to the selling of indulgences.

Please understand that the Catholic religion is NOT part of orthodox Christianity. It is a works-based religion whereas Christianity is grace-based. So, Catholic "doctrine" (Pope, Holy Mary, Purgatory, indulgences, prayer to saints) is not Christianity.

I do agree, however, that the Bible teaches that man's nature is evil.

[alastornine]

Satanists are amoral (though there are many who CLAIM to be satanic yet still live by xtian morality. The only thing most satanists consider taboo is harming a child. We break the ten commandments daily when possible.

[InertiaFilms]

We agree that satanists are amoral. Although I wonder if you truly follow these amoral teachings. (Although I also wonder why you allow for the one "harming a child" exception).

If you truly follow these teaching, and practice them daily, you should not be upset that others might practice them as well.

Thus you would have to approve of the actions of Hitler, those that might rob you and, yes, the David Berkowitz of the 1970's.

But why the child/harm exception?

[alastornine]

Right and wrong depends on one's personal perception of those terms. I was always a reserved polite child with a high degree of self discipline. Common sense told me that committing crimes like burning down churches etc would lead me no where but in prison, not many Satanists choose to give up their freedom for a little fun.

[InertiaFilms]

If I understand you correctly, right & wrong depends on one's own "personal perception"?

So if I follow your line of thought, I am guessing that you have no problem with the actions of Hitler, Stalin, white collar crime, lying, stealing, etc.

Sometimes it is illegal & sometime not. It can all be "justified" to some degree. I can only reason that you do not believe in moral absolutes whatsoever.

[alastornine]

LOL..So how would you know if I am a danger to both people and animals? I need to be in prison huh? Why is that may I ask? We have freedom of speech and religion in this country. Sorry I didn't conform to the religion of my parents like 99% of xtians do just because it was forced on me or is the only thing one knows.

[alastornine]

First of all I don't hide among anyone. I live an openly Satanic life in the southern U.S. surrounded by hypocritical xtians. I see you haven't even done enough research into your own religion to know that xtians use to sacrifice a human or animal by burying them under foundations of their churches, or walling them up inside to appease the land gods so their fragile structures wouldn't fall down. I could go on and on but why bother. Again please do so research into YOUR own supposed religion.

[alastornine]

Any rational person can tell the bible was written by a bunch of misogenists who must have been doing some pretty good drugs in the desert. There were many religions before xtianity and there will be many more after it crumbles into nothingness. It will become a joke to those in the future that humans use to think a dead human animal hanging on a tree would absolve them of their sins (Human nature). It already is a joke to many of us.

[InertiaFilms]

I was hoping to appeal to your intellect by asking: where you get your sense of "right" & "wrong" in the world?

[rollingstone33]

this satanist " alastornine" is a danger to both people and animals.He's one of the minions of Devil hiding among us.He has to be in prison.

[alastornine]

Well it makes sense that if they believe the bible they will believe any other lie they are told. Goes to show you how stupid most humans really are.

[InertiaFilms]

So, may I ask where you get your sense of what is "right" and "wrong?" I mean, how do you determine whether the Bible is a lie, or truth?

[ConE500]

Jesus Christ, next they're going to be forgiving Hitler or Jefferey Dahmer!

[InertiaFilms]

Neither Jeffrey Dahmer or Adolf Hitler ever claimed to be a born-again Christian. David Berkowitz did, and according to even those in prison that don't like him, he has been a model prisoner for 20 years. The point being that Christ forgives those that humble themselves and ask for forgiveness.

[sancti78]

yeah! he shut JESUS out in his early life.but still i agree that there is a time for everything & most of all SINCERE REPENTANCE is what matters most to HIM.

[rollingstone33]

David's been cleansed in the fire of his penance.I can see the God's mercy in David's eyes.Now David can bring other stray sheep back into the flock.

[waldenehn]

dear rollingstone33; it is the devil's nature to rant, so let him rant on. When the Holy Blood of Jesus poured from His veins, it became the cleanser of our sins and our impenetrable shield from the devil's darts and stones. The Light of Jesus

fills the soul with the peace and joy of Redemption and everlasting life. What do you care if some maniac from Hell gets mad about it? It's your soul. Give it to Jesus. He'll keep you safe from all harm.

[rollingstone33]

Absolutely true.David's life is a great lesson and it brings hope to all penitent sinners.

[sancti78]

if only he realized how GOD loves him from the very beginning of his life.

[rollingstone33]

There is a time for everything.

[alastornine]

I think the defeated ones are they who fall to their knees crying to a god that doesn't give a crap about them. Your god is the true god of evil. He afflicts his faithful followers with plague, famine, war, etc because he is too jealous to let them have free will. Don't you realize you are nothing to god but a mindless slave? Just another sucker feeding him your energy.

[alastornine]

Born again?...does that mean you couldn't control your sinful (human nature) the first time? Talking about someone getting stabbed doesn't seem too christ like to me...well I guess it does if you look at your religions violent history. I feel sorry for you people that follow a religion that was invented to keep the slaves in line. A death loving brainwashing cult...real peaceful.

[alastornine]

Not any more huh? Did god make a new proclamation or dictate a new bible I'm not aware of? We all know most of the original bible stories, jesus myth and holidays are all stolen from ancient pagan cultures. Do you people even research your own religion?

[waldenehn]

not any more. if you have been a satanist as long as you say, you know the rules. Don't hassle a born again, spirit filled Christian. We have the protection of the Holy Blood, and it will prevail against you. Your curses will come back and stab you. Strut and brag all you want. The Holy Blood

of Jesus our Lord and Redeemer has defeated you. And you know it.

[alastornine]

Hmmm...Doesn't your book state that Satan is the Lord of this World, the Lord of the Earth? My powers will always stay strong and those things I set in motion by my rituals always come to fruition. A worthless weakling hanging on a cross has no power over Satan or over me. All for the greater glory of Satan!

[waldenehn]

satan will be brought down to the pit at the appointed time. If you love the Dark that much, embrace it forever. Until then, may your powers fail you, and every curse you send out come back on your own life double. May each step you take cause you to trip and fall into confusion and failure. Live in the Dark if you want to. But from now on live there all alone with your satanic powers rendered useless by the poser of the Lord in Jesus' Name. Amen.

[alastornine]

I have been a Satanist for over twenty five years now and do not plan on changing. I do not use the term Satan's Chosen lightly, He has come to some of us. Some Kill, Some start Satanic covens like the late Herbert Sloane (Our Lady of Endor Coven of the Ophite Cultus Satanas in Ohio in 1948) who met Satan in the woods when he was only three years old..My own meeting was in the mountains where I lived in upstate N.Y. at the age of twelve, actually not very far from where Mr. Berkowitz is now.

Luke 10:19 Jesus said, behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

David Berkowitz knows the everlasting joy of sins forgiven. Unless you repent of that evil prayer, alastornine, the darkness of it will come back on your head double and you will be the receiver of its malicious words.

[alastornine]

You may have to toss a few bucks in David's commissary for him to be able to write back. I forget if New York state supplies free postage to prisioners or not.

[alastornine]

To Satan's chosen Hell is not the lake of fire as portrayed in your book of propaganda which is the bible.

[alastornine]

I am totally serious. YOUR god means nothing to me.

[InertiaFilms]

Let's think about this:

1. You are right & live anyway you see fit, and MY God is false. However, I have lost NOTHING by living a moral life & believing in God.

2. I am right and God demands that sin be punished. You reject God/Christ & suffer eternally in a place you don't believe exists.

Either way I am "safe." However you take a HUGE risk of unspeakable danger.

[alastornine]

If he did really convert it will be a sad ending to an anti-hero that was a model and inspiration to many. David, may you be re-embraced by our Lord Satan. Reject the falsehoods of christianity!!!! All for the greater glory of SATAN!!!

[InertiaFilms]

I know your response is not serious. However, our sin before a Holy and Righteous God is a very serious matter that should be considered with great sobriety.

Pitiful brainwashed naive christians

[kevinhjoy]

It's all an act!

[InertiaFilms]

may i ask: how do you know it's an act? what evidence would you present that points to Berkowitz's conversion being an act?

[miyomeasuka]

this isnt an act, he's just crazy

[caksmomn]

God touched his heart, and soul, and life. David Berkowitz is a changed man, and a 'healer' now. He is a beautiful spirit, and a fine example of the miraculous nature of the Almighty.

~Peace

[miyomeasuka]

Are you trying to Defend a Crazy Murderer? He's no Healer, he's a crazed man that killed for a demon called Sam, Are you trying to tell me you are trying to Defend a Murderer. Oh Your God, You Christians are Crazy.

[InertiaFilms]

The real issue is not am I "trying to defend a murderer." David admits that he was wicked. So, no one "defends" his actions, not even Berkowitz himself. The real issue is: is it possible to be forgiven for "wrong" no matter what you have done in life?

[miyomeasuka]

It's never been right to forgive someone who committed a crime beyond repair. This man used an excuse "My Neighbor's Dog told me to." to commit murder on People. Charles Manson says he's sorry for everyday he rots in Prison. You want to forgive him. Son of Sam still lives in his Murderous Mind.

[InertiaFilms]

I was wondering what is a "crime beyond repair", and who determines what really is a "crime beyond repair"?

Also, what is "right"? (in reference to "it's never been right").

[miyomeasuka]

A judge explained what I used, A crime beyond repair means something that can't be forgiven. Misdemeanors are repairable crimes, forgivable but Murder, Assault, Rape are all unrepairable. Society determines what it is. This man killed 6 people and maybe more, People we're talking about here. This isn't right, By Law if you commit murder that means YOU COMMITTED MURDER, and I live in Texas, where we don't take murder lightly.

[InertiaFilms]

Not that I am advocating taking murder lightly, but where did this judge get his/her idea of "a crime beyond repair"?

[laurierken]

This comment is asinine.

[crosschecking]

Three words: Karla Faye Tucker (who was executed under then-Texas governor George W. Bush.)

Murder is wrong, but so is rejecting the authenticity of the conversion of a condemned murderer.

You might want to talk to "Chaplain Ray" about prisoners surrendering to Christ.

[laurierken]

Wow. No, seriously, you are nuttier than a Christmas fruitcake. Lemme gat a .44 and blast your mother. I'm pretty sure the definition of "crime beyond repair" will come into razor-sharp focus. And as for what is "right"? Not killing someone is "right" , arsehole. Honestly, were we to sit at a table together, I'd make a large effort at breaking your nose.

[laurierken]

Easy to tell it's an act. At :25 seconds on, he is saying he wishes he could tell everyone how much god loves them and all that crap. But.... what is his head doing? Shaking side to side, the classic negative. I am nothing, if not an astute observer of human body language. He does *not* believe what he is saying. "Conversion" my ass.

[InertiaFilms]

"Easy to tell it's an act"? You seem to know him.

Ken, how many times have you talked to Berkowitz on the phone?

How many times have you sat across the room from him and looked into his eyes? How many prison guards have you interviewed that know him?

How much research have you done on him?

How many letters do you have from him? How many tough questions have you asked him in person?

How many people have u talked to that once doubted him and now believe?

I'll wait for your answers.

[laurierken]

Ill have to bow out of this soon. Your abject ignorance to the victims families produces within me a dark rage unlike any Ive ever experienced. Dark enough to have gone to both your website and mapquest. We are a mere 11 hours apart. And rather than committing an unrepairable crime, Ill let this alone. But let me say this.

[laurierken]

You miserable cocksucker. You are blind. Look at Berkowitzs hands. Those very hands held a gun, squeezed a trigger, ended kids lives. Blam. Phones rang in the middle of the night. Parents, fathers had the hear-rending experience of seeing children they bathed, loved, taught to ride bicycles, helped with homework lying on a slab under fluorescent lights, your heros bullets torn flesh away, holes blown into heads and lives.

[laurierken]

. Had the heartbreaking experience of burying their children because that asshole slaughtered them. They cant enjoy the simple pleasure of eating an orange, your fucking hero continues to live, able to enjoy at least sun on his face. I could, easily wrap my hands around his throat and strangle the life from Berkowitz and grin peacefully while looking into his evil fucking eyes.

[laurierken]

Yes. I am right. Those people, those victims families are still with us, still able to see your rotten miserable film. Your sunshine-y see? There is hope and redemption for all of us, gods love knows no boundaries and includes even the once bad, now transformed by the light and love of christ David Berkowitz! theme produces the same rage in them as it does me, you miserable hateful cocksucker.

[laurierken]

My wife would say that she wouldnt wish that experience on you. Im not her. I do wish this on you. Mind your next words, you evil prick. You mind your next words well.

[laurierken]

You consider your next words like you would consider your way through a minefield, Thomas, because make no doubt about it, you are in one now. Ever careful.

[InertiaFilms]

Ken, my hope is that one day you will experience the love, grace and forgiveness that Christ offers to all who repent & believe. It is the key to a peaceful life.

Also, I have said repeatedly that I am sympathic to the victims' families. The murders disgust me. Berkowitz is NOT a hero! But, this story is not about him. It is about the love, hope & grace of Jesus Christ.

That said, I think we have reached the end of our discussions. I wish you only the best in this life & beyond.

[doksekko]

@InertiaFilms That's funny, because every society that has come into contact with Christianity has had their culture systematically, and irreversibly destroyed. It's amazing just how unchristian you christians can get when somebody is questioning your deity. I have absolutely no respect for you, or anybody who even lends an ear to a monster like David Burkowitz. The man is a monster, and should not be exploited in a PR campaign to spread the word of a faux-god.

[Rachella38]

laurierken, hatred will only eat us up and cause us to die an early death. I had a close childhood friend who was murdered in cold blood 3 yrs ago, and I hated the people who did it, but I never had peace, till I learned to forgive.

No one will ever enter heaven with hate in their heart. We must forgive in order to be forgiven.

[nevill101]

Great vid i admire this guy in so many ways.

[InertiaFilms]

Thanks for the comment. David is a completely different man that the horrible man from the 1970's. However, i look at David just like I look at myself, a wicked sinner saved by the grace of God.

[nterp1965]

ok they said that he was adopted and lived in new-york ive noticed the photos of him being arrested he strongly resembles Andrew Dice Clay maybe they are related and i do mean that genetically I know that were all children of God but thats NOT what i mean

[raggaspord]

Thanks for this !

[InertiaFilms]

You are more than welcome. Thanks for your encouragement.
