Mega church pastor beaten to death with electric guitar by man who rammed car into church

30 October 2012

A North Texas congregation is reeling after an attacker rammed a car into a church wall, chased the pastor, and beat him to death with an electric guitar.

Police told reporters they didn't know why the unidentified suspect attacked Rev. Danny Kirk Sr., founding pastor of the Greater Sweethome MIssionary Baptist Church.

In a harrowing 911 call an unidentified church secretary said that some staff tried to fight him off but that Kirk was in desperate need of an ambulance.

A defective mind is most the susceptible to this silliness.

Can't be very smart either. All he'd have to do is stop the shooter before he got to the school. Duh!

Wouldn't He, She, Whatever this All-Powerful being identifies itself as rather have a moron in the fold in order to truly convert them? As opposed to trying to get the moron to come into the camp? Once converted, you are now one of His, hers, Whatever's chosen few!

As for the toon...If there is a God who is fully capable of simply stopping such horrific atrocities, since it wasn't the children who "kicked Him out of school" would He have been so cheap, so vengeful, so unloving to allow such a horrific slaughter to occur because His word being preached in the Home and Church just isn't good enough?

I'd like to think God would be a Belieber.

consensus among Hosts is that this cartoon about religion more so than guns. Please consider reposting in the Religion Group.
