He went to church and everything

Okay, so Brian Gore is not a pastor, but he went to church so that makes him a Christian of sorts. Brian and Shannon Gore were arrested for child abuse, attempted murder and murder, after authorities found a caged 6-year-old girl in the Gore’s doublewide and the body of another child buried near a shed. The young girl was in horrible condition and attempting to eat herself. 

A young girl was found caged and attempting to eat herself in a mobile home in Virginia, and cops say her parents are responsible.

The malnourished girl, believed to be either 5 or 6, was discovered in a crib that was converted into a makeshift cage after police arrived at the home in Gloucester County to investigate a burglary last week.

The girl's parents, Brian and Shannon Gore, were arrested and charged with felony child abuse. The mother was also charged with attempted capital murder.

However, the gruesome twosome now faces first-degree murder charges after the remains of what authorities believe to be another child were found buried outside their mobile home.

"I've done this for 20 years, and I've never seen anything like this in my life," Gloucester Sheriff's Maj. Darrell Warren said.

Certain kinds of horrible people find a home at church. Many good and also regular people are comfortable in a church (for what reason, I don't know, but whatever). A similar case can be made that people who are attracted to police work are inherently violent bullies. Not a question that bullies veer that way--but it's slander to the rest. All these things are important to point out, but we must always take the time to look at individuals.
When I was a child, I was forced to attend church because it was supposed to be "good for your soul." I wonder if it was good for the souls of this couple too. I can't blame religion or church for this, but I can and will remind Christians who insist on equating Christianity with moral goodness of this sort of thing. And then I will predictably be greeted with claims that the evil doers were never "real Christians."
