Tom Propst Commits "Christian Honor Killing"

http://starbeacon.com/local/x803540583/Be-on-the-lookout-for-murder-suspect Many of you have no doubt heard of so called "honor killings" taking place amongst muslims, in the Middle East. Well, shocking as it might seem, these last past days, in the same county as I reside, a known Christian killed his wife. His wife, and also presumably his daughter, were also Christians. However, after his daughter, Hannah, turned 18 she demanded the freedom granted to adult Americans. However, her father, Mr. Propst, apparently adhered to the idea of Christian patriarchy http://www.alternet.org/reproductivejustice/149022/creepy_christian_patriarchy_movement_shackles_daughters_to_their_fathers_and_homes/?page=entire , and so felt that she should be subordinate to him, as a "stay at home daughter" http://bitchmagazine.org/article/house-proud . So he had been responding to her asserting her personal autonomy by beating her, and when her mother, Paulette, tried to intervene, he attacked her too. Eventually, Mrs. Propst got up enough gumption to file for divorce, shortly afterward she was killed. From what I was told, at the visitation, by Paulette's sister, I think that Mr. Propst seemed to possess an authoritarian personality , even before marriage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarian_personality At the very least, he's what my sister refers to as being a choleric. http://prepareforpsychologicaltest.com/choleric-personality-type/ Last I heard, from sources I consider credible, the gun he used to kill his wife with, was given back to him by a corrections officer, and he's currently traveling in a silver Buick, rather than his Toyota pick up truck. So I tend to feel that this is highly suggestive of a dominionist conspiracy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominionism I feel that this illustrates that the Christian extremists aren't any better in practice than there Islamic counterparts. Both seek to establish a repressive theonomy, and can become violent fanatics. I actually consider dominionists to be a greater threat to America's democratic freedom than Islamists.
