NORTH HAMPTON, Ohio — A self-described militant atheist with a criminal past faces multiple charges after an attack on a pastor who, after his sermon, had asked the man's girlfriend if she felt safe.
James Maxie, 28, of Springfield, Ohio, is charged with second-degree felonious assault and misdemeanor resisting arrest after an incident Sunday at The Bridge Community Church in North Hampton.
Police Chief Jarrod Campbell said in his 11 years with the department, he's rarely dealt with "an incident this brutal."
The Rev. Norman Hayes, 57, said he feared for his life and begged for the attack to stop. Hayes suffered a broken nose, bruises and three long cuts that required stitches across his face.
"I questioned his girlfriend in his presence if she felt safe," Hayes said. "He was very, very upset that I'd even suggest that he would hurt her. Then he turned around and hurt me very badly."

serial killer eyes.
Brilliant move on the perp’s part.
He didn’t like the pastor introducing the idea the woman might want to consider her safety.
He reacts by beating up the pastor.
The woman must feel VERY safe now.
This idiot just proved the pastor’s point.
Let this be a lesson for “militant atheists”, You can enter a church without bursting into flames.

She’ll stay with him no matter how many people he beats or if he beats her.
If only the people who believed that a human life is nothing but a randomly assembled bag of chemicals actually behaved like that’s all they were. But no, they acting like they are important and want to be noticed and heeded. They want to have it both ways.
Yuck inside and out!
I think most folks would agree that atheism is certainly largely of the left. That being agreed upon it does seem that liberalism IS a mental disorder.
My CA raised daughter graduated from college in OH. What an eye opening experience that was. Poverty, meth and real white trash she saw first hand-not her Silicon Valley faux world.
