And then there is Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot.
Hostility to religion makes people genocidal on a colossal scale.

Boy did you get that backwards.

It is the lack of religion, specifically a real born-again relationship with Jesus Christ that truly raises the probability of someone acting out on the worst components of human nature, including murder.

A deacon at Grace Lutheran Church on Harrowgate Road in Chester confirmed Gattis was a full-time youth pastor there. He said he was in disbelief about the allegations and called the suspect an "excellent man."

Excellent man but a lousy father.

My guess is that the root of these murders is that the father allowed the daughter’s boyfriend to live in the house with his daughter.

The father wishing to be the Godly man he thought himself to be could not allow the situation to continue as it was and a heated family argument ensued.

Not really, youth pastor pretty much explains everything.

Maybe organized religion is just a cash for prayer fraud based on an unexplainable faith in a God that no one has ever seen...............

Ever wonder what the personal income is of the top ten pastors in their mega churches are in the U.S.? Ever viewed their humble abodes?

I don't need to be a member of the congregation of the Cornerstone Baptist Church where the Corvette driving pastor tells me I need to increase my Sunday tithing's since the church's funds are running low...............

Youth Pastor?

These come in all shapes, sizes, experience and ability. I would like to know more about this “youth pastor.” Certainly makes for a catchy headline. Different than “young welder,” or “literature tutor.” Yet, you seldom see the suspect’s job listed in the headline, unless you are somehow connected with Christianity (no matter how tenuously), a teacher or a Republican.

I True, but “religion”, or the meeting together to worship God and seek his will for our lives, coupled with listening to someone deliver the Gospel are both commanded by God himself.

Furthermore, the Bible is clear about “trying the spirit of men to know who they are of.”

The Bible is also clear about the “workman being worthy of his hire.”

Please do not live your life by broad negative generalities, especially where your walk with God is concerned. You will miss out on many of the blessings that God desires to give you.
