re: #227 Gus 802

Oh, that. Right, I see what you mean. You present a close approximation. Then you have to consider personality factors, environment, etc.

For sure. And I am not certain how one would suss this out. Although the murder itself is notorious, I don’t know offhand of any in-depth research on the particular guys who attended the church.

Personally, in general terms, I think just having a church of this sort to go to tacitly justifies these bigoted beliefs. People don’t go to such churches by mistake, or if they do, they don’t stay long, so I’m sure these guys were already bigoted, but the church gives them a way to claim they’re doing it for God - literally. That of course is what terrorists of all faiths do. That is part of why I think this is important.
