A lifetime of guilt from a horrible habit of repeated sin just might do that to someone.

Yes, it is too bad he didn't find forgiveness of his sin through the atonement of Jesus Christ. He might have felt like he could never be perfect enough to earn God's love. Such a tragedy!

It’s called agency. Some people do, some people don’t.

Look, for example, at Glenn Beck’s story. He certainly embraced the Atonement and changed his life around.

Apparently that particuliar Mormon church didn’t “love this guy all the more, until he returned to that group”...

It is really a shame these 6 kids will not have their father...heartbreaking for them. How do you possibly explain this to children? Very sad ordeal.

Hello. The murderer was mentally ill so anything you speculate about him is rather useless. It's a sad day for the Bishop's family and friends. I know the LDS Community - and other Christians - are rallying around the family right this very minute.

I remember the talk by President Faust that he gave after the horrible Amish murders. He talked about how we Mormons would do well to follow the example of the Amish in the aftermath of their great tragedy. I have been thinking a lot about his talk today. I miss President Faust but his words still ring in my heart.
