What the hell.
This saddens me greatly.
=(
Wow! I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about this. It’s such a shame that some people try to use the bible/religion as a logical excuse or explanation for doing horrible things to others.
Wow . . . . I’m not even sure what to say about this.
Once again the media runs off with an incomplete story because it is a chance to bash Christians… Now, several days later the more accurate truths come out… http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42218182 Killed for money, not being gay. Dead mans brother states…
@MC_Shann - The guy who killed him said it was because the bible says to and that the man made sexual advances toward him. This is a local story in my area. I hear it on the new and in the paper etc
@Kristenmomof3 - It’s local to me too. Check out the link I posted.
most awful. =/
@MC_Shann - I did read the link you posted. The brother is saying it was done for money. The killer is saying it was done because that is what the bible says to do to homosexuals. The media is not making this into an antichristian thing like you are claiming. They just reported why the killer said that he did it. Homosexual advances are why the killer said.
@MC_Shann - Whether or not he did it for the money, he is still trying to JUSTIFY it by using the Bible. You’re probably right, and it’s just a shoddy cover up. But the fact is, someone MIGHT just use the Bible to justify something like this, and that wouldn’t be totally surprising.
Wacky people
