Yeah, we need to be watching this one. You know there will be Christians who will assume the killer is an atheist or some other execrable wretch. And, of course, there may, in fact, be a demented atheist or two out there. Only, when they do something like this it's because they don't have the Holy Spirit, don't you know.

Now I'm reading he was bitten by a tick and that left him nuts. A tick!?

The fact that him and the pastor exchanged words tells me something went on. Might have been molested or something when he was a kid.. Never know... The guys dead now so hopefully the true reason will come out of the kid who shot him.

Motive? Of course it was God doing His will through one of his children

I love the part where his Bible stopped the first bullet. Unfortunately, there was the not so small matter of three others....

Yeah, Lugosi. I imagine any book of comparable mass would have done the same--some better.
