I'd check whether the rev increased his insurance lately.

The Missouri church where Michael Brown's father was baptized over the weekend was torched Monday night — but the pastor does not think the arson was part of the fiery violence that erupted elsewhere in the community.
The Rev. Carlton Lee told NBC News that he believes Flood Christian Church was targeted because he has repeatedly called for the arrest of Officer Darren Wilson, who fatally shot the unarmed teen but was not indicted by a grand jury.
"I'm very vocal in regards to the Michael Brown case," said Lee, who has participated in rallies and press conferences with Michael Brown Sr.
The church went up in flames around the same time about a dozen other buildings were set ablaze in Ferguson by protesters angered by the grand jury's decision, but it's on a remote section of West Florissant Avenue where other structures were unscathed.
"The police called me and told me the church was on fire," Lee said. "I was in complete disbelief. I didn't think anyone would set a church on fire.
"I feel like one of my children has died. I put my blood, my sweat, my tears into this church, getting this church built from the ground up. To see that it was taken down in a few minutes is really heartbreaking."
He said he told Michael Brown Sr. about the extensive damage on Tuesday afternoon. "He was just devastated again," he said.
The pastor said he doubted the same people who were raging on the other end of West Florissant had burned his church. Instead, he said, he suspected white supremacists who wanted to punish him for his support of the Brown family, who had just been baptized there.
"Sunday, we do the baptism, Monday, the church is one fire. It just doesn't add up,"

Burned it down to collect on insurance??? Maybe?? Then build a larger church with the proceeds

Yeah, right.... ‘cause so many Officer Wilson supporters were out burning things, in Ferguson, last night.

Can you believe this guy is in total denial that blacks torched his church?
Why preach about fire and brimstone when it can be better demonstrated.
You got it. Insurance.
Divine intervention?
give this man a cigar....
Self inflicted.
The Preacher supported an unjust cause and this is what you get, the Devil.
Burns like hell doesn't it, Pastor?
Oh yeah, another black on black crime, and the black reverend pastor blames it on the white guys. LOL. You just can’t make this stuff up.
I think it was an act of God. No insurance covers that, I don’t think.
It was either those rioters or a bolt of lightning from Heaven nailed it!
