Baptist Pastor Killed While Delivering Sermon.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article5872418.ece As some of you may know, I knew the notorious gunman, Matthew Murray, personally on-line. http://libertariansocialist.blogspot.com/2007/12/tragic-life-of-matthew.html So this really hits home for me. We do not know why the perpetrator chose to kill this particular pastor. Perhaps the shooter was deranged. Maybe he was also a satanist. Self described satanists, mostly ignorant teenagers, have burned down churches before. There are many possible motives for this senseless crime. But if the killer hoped to destroy Christianity, it would have been in vain. As Thomas Dewey once said, "you can't shoot an idea with a gun." We all must not use carnal means to advance ideas. Ideas will rise and fall according to it's merits. No force can stop it.
