I would remain open minded until the bed and home are checked for DNA evidence,by reading the article I assume the step father beat him....but I guess that is my right to be the exact opposite of your quick conviction.

An 11-year-old boy who read the wrong Bible verse at church was severely beaten with a tree branch by a Baptist pastor and the pastor's brother, the boy's family said.

I'll wait for evidence to pass final judgement in this church blaming media atmosphere.

I'll wait for evidence to pass final judgement in this church blaming media atmosphere.

Because you are neither judge nor jury with any power at all to affect the lives or future of the alleged assailants, you ought to feel free to "judge" all you want.

Oh wait, you are judging. You're accusing the step-father. Well enough.

Good call. You win the prize for that ever-so-rare ability to analyze a situation and recognize the absence of sufficient evidence to justify a conclusion.

Now let's kick back and watch the war of the creeds which is about to unfold.

"but I guess that is my right to be the exact opposite of your quick conviction."

Given the information we have any reasonable person would believe the pastor and his brother did it. For you to imply that we should jump to the conclusion (as you did) that the step father did it is absurd. If you have information other than what is in the article, perhaps you would care to share it?
