re: #119 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

“We had to destroy it in order to save it”

According to the arrest warrant, he stood outside the house while it was burning in case his brother or mother escaped. He had a group of large rocks and intended to stone them to death.

His mother going out the back door is what saved her.

And that’s the thing. Already folks are claiming he’s “no true Christian,” but he is following the instructions of the Bible. How is following the Word of God (tm) written in black text un-Christian? Others are making an excuse he is mentally ill. That may be true, but who exploited that illness with religious teachings to turn him into a murderer? (The Bible is very clear what you’re supposed to do with unbelievers.) The Bible’s instructions are antithetical to a modern society.

The article at the El Paso television station doesn’t say whether his brother and mother are not believers, just he believed they were not living life according to the Bible’s laws.

Speculating irresponsibly and wildly, my guess is at a minimum they didn’t go to church as often as the alleged arsonist and murderer would like, or he knew they did not believe and he followed the Bible’s instructions for unbelievers.

There are millions of Christians in this country if that guy gets prison or the death penalty (being Texas) who will lionise him as a martyr to the faith.

The idea it’s only wingnut Christians who flout the law is also false. In my own area, the UU Church in Scottsbluff (arguably the most liberal of Christian churches, even moreso than the MCC), refused to close during Socttsbuff’s brief mask mandate (no church did). The argument from the UU Church wasn’t religious freedom though, it was because they rent their space to a Buddhist group and they needed the filthy lucre from the Buddhists.
