Goes to show that it doesn't matter what you believe in - Christianity isn't harmless by any form of imagination, but extremism is always a terrible thing and a very dangerous way of thinking. You can even believe strongly in a good cause such as animal rights or feminism and end up taking it waaay too far, then end up damaging your own cause. It's why I hate PETA so much.
About him and his games though: He's 32 and an adult - Not a child. You can't blame his actions on being influenced by computer games because he should be responsible and know better - Especially since he's been an adult since modern gaming became mainstream (and also it's stupid to see games as a way of training for RL considering they're nothing like each other, no matter how realistic).
I hope people won't be stupid and try to use it as an excuse to censor computer games though, rather than link up his actions to his extremist right-wing political alignment. If what that documentary said was true about the far-right gaining more power in the Nordic countries, I really hope that this will be the thing that will stop them gaining more power.
