Does you father agree with the psychopath's actions and the psychopath's claim his religion allowed/encouraged him to burn another human being? If so, then your father is yet another nutter and you would have established a connection, instead of authoring a non-sequitur.
Chimp's point (he'll correct me if I'm wrong) is that he has had 40 years' experience with one of the more primitive forms of Christianity and even Pentecostals don't advocate setting people on fire, which makes the actions of the psychopath referred to non-Christian in the extreme.
Seems that it isn't so much a non sequitur (there's no hyphen in it, by the way) on chimp's part as it is a problem with reading comprehension on yours. It's pretty clear what chimp was driving at.

Was this a typo or deliberate? Did you realise that you were doing it?
I didn’t, thanks for the correction.
Edit: I'm curious if the name of the forum bothers you as well? "Atheist" here is singular, however a forum would indicate a plurality. Are we over our limit on atheists here?

So why is that not Christianity? Because they hate black people? But if they hate gay people then that is Christianity? And we have these news all the time,

So is hating gay people more understandable? Less bad? From what I see Christian groups are spreading hate every day.
I mean you had preacher dad but would he do this to you if you were gay?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
