Man kills atheist because he doesn’t believe in God
The suspect said the victim had told him there was nothing he could say that would convince the 62-year-old to believe in God.
Following this discussion, the suspect said, he went into another room and removed his shirt. Then he shaved his face.
He tried once more to convince the victim to believe in God, but this time, he had the shotgun.
“How long would it take you to believe in God?” the suspect said he asked the victim.
“Not until I hear Gabriel blow his horn,” the victim allegedly replied, while tipping his hat.
That’s when the suspect shot him.
“I did it because he is evil; he was not a believer,” the suspect told police.
A lot of people made a big deal out of Christians at Columbine High School. I wonder what they will say about this.
My guess is that there will be no broad comment except’n by us unbelievers. After all, the perp was a Scout.
Nothing in Scouting suggests any justification for murder. Nothing in Scouting suggests such action.
The murderer is not identified in the story – I hope some reporter will follow up to determine whether the claim that the murderer is an Eagle Scout is an accurate one.
But even so, being an Eagle is no protection against mental disease.
