I think violence is the best way to solve religious disagreements.

Religion needs to be banned. It is not safe.
For the children, we must ban it immediately.

Is this Godley behavior?

Guns, alcohol, and religion means fun at any party!

Whew! I certainly am glad they weren't engaged in a Calvinist vs. Arminian argument!

Stoker said he would settle the argument and went into a house and returned with a shotgun, which he loaded and placed in his mouth, Alford said the witness reported.

Well how would this settle the argument? He still don't know if the dead guy went to heaven.

Godley Texas huh?

Well, I guess one of them already knows a bit more about who's going to heaven or hell and, given the Texas execution laws, the other one will find out in a year or two.

Here is the real reason the killing occured! This is what the press won't make a 'big deal' over!

The two had spent Saturday night bar hopping with two other men in Fort Worth, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) northeast of Godley.

No! Alcohol had nothing to do with this! It was the bible that caused this murder. Therefore, the bible should be supplied with trigger locks, er bible locks. There should be a 3 day waiting period before you can buy a bible and you should be over 21.

Amen! And don't forget the gun that was involved, certainly we need to control that also!

LOL!

I don't know if these guys said much about heaven or hell, but they did make a damn good argument for evolution.
