Imagine being so hateful just because some people are different from you and are having a good time that you burn down an historical building AND endanger the lives of dozens of people…
How insufferable one need be for this to happen?
God doesn’t explicitly say anything about homosexuality, but he does have plenty to say about murder
Well, yeah.
Even the most oft quoted “anti gay” passage of the Bible is not actually anti gay - the original version in ancient Greek is actually against pederasty (the Greek ‘tradition’ of institutionalised gay pedophilia - using 12-16 year old young boys by older men for sexual pleasure under the guise of “tutoring” them), and the word usage is very specific about a MAN (adult male) laying with a BOY (young male) being the atrocity.
But, Greek pederasty died out, the reference was then mistranslated due to lack of social context, and bam, you got modern day Christians riling up against gay people. Ain’t it wonderful?
Yeah shits pretty wild. Also crazy to think you could be in the right for murdering a bunch of gay people over your questionable morals against homosexuality as justification.
I got downvoted quite a bit because I don’t think people are picking up that this is an obvious hate crime, and that 99% of the time they’re committed by religious extremists when it comes to sexual preference.
I’m not saying the Bible is correct. I’m saying that this very flawed logic is the likely catalyst for this attack.
Eyewitness Molly Firman said “out of nowhere” staff and security started screaming “you need to get out now”.
At least the firman were on the scene fast. This must be horrible for the local community, hope they catch the prick.
Sounds like they have caught him; 50s, male. They’re asking people not to speculate, so I won’t. But obvious thoughts are in my head.
Bloody hell, I stayed in a hotel across the road from there once. Didn’t go in, was far too tired, but was tempted. I did go to Bletchley Park though, which is not far away, and that was excellent
