That's fucking sick. You have to admit though, it's fucking genius. He jus tacked all that primal disgust and pain onto "being christian".
Wonder what his rationale behind that dispicable statement is though. Is there a letter left by the shooter and this guy is trying to spin some apocalyptic zealots rampage?
