christian "love"

[Brakeman]

"Christian" Love does not exist. There is only normal human compassion if anything at all. Statistically, christian love has been shown to be undetectable in the marriage studies and in the prison population studies.

If christians did in fact have any contact whatsoever with an infinitely good god, then "SOME" of it would have to wear off on them! The effect should be strong as they would know that they are dealing with a "real" god.

Anecdotally, the worst human beings I've ever met in my life, the very most evil ones, were all men of strong christian faith. The worst child abusers that I've known were all three church pastors.

A Baptist preacher friend of my father's so angered and tortured his daughter over her lesbianism that her little brother ran out into the yard and set himself afire with gasoline to get them to stop arguing. He was 8 or 9 16 years old. The father felt so much remorse over the boy's death that he blew his brains out a year later. The mom went crazy. Why? Because GOD told the man to hate his beautiful young daughter who loved another girl.

Wow the news must have been all over that story, can you provide a link?

This event occurred about 1978 1982 or there abouts so no internet links that I'm aware of. I will ask my mom if she has any newpaper clippings. It did appear in the Maryville Daily Times. (TN) Their last name was Shumate.
I have several family pictures with the family and the little boy that burnt himself alive. I'll see if I can get a scan of those from my mom as well, because it really helps to put a face to the name and story. Then you can see what a beautiful, innocent child he was, and how precious his beloved gay sister was.

-update- I spoke with my Dad over the phone. He corrected a bit of detail on the story. I don't live in Tennessee anymore, so I'll have to wait on my mom to get home to try and get the article or the pictures..

Drich,

While I'm waiting, why don't you pray to jesus and ask him if Danny Shumate, the boy in the story, is in hell for loving his sister so much. I'd really really like to know what jesus has to say about his location right now.
