I do believe in a God, yes. But that’s as far as I want to discuss. If I get too detailed on some things that are personal like that, it gives people an easier way to alienate themselves from me and that’s all they are looking for now.

I wish to use the words of Justice Brandeis dissenting in Olmstead to speak for me. He wrote, ‘Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or ill, it teaches the whole people by its example.’

It might have changed my whole plan of operation if I’d read that one first.

But that’s the nature of the beast. It’s understood going in what the human toll will be.

You can’t handle the truth. Because the truth is, I blew up the Murrah building and isn’t it kind of scary that one man could reap this kind of hell?

Do we have to shed blood to reform the current system? I hope it doesn’t come to that! But it might.

If there is a hell, then I’ll be in good company with a lot of fighter pilots who also had to bomb innocents to win the war.

I believe we are slowly turning into a socialist government. The government is continually growing bigger and more powerful and the people need to prepare to defend themselves against government control.

I have great respect for human life. My decision to take human life at the Murrah Building – I did not do it for personal gain. I ease my mind in that...I did it for the larger good.

If there is a hell, then I'll be in good company with a lot of fighter pilots who also had to bomb innocents to win the war.
