Tennessee man confesses to burning a black man alive because of his race — and cites the Bible as an influence

[phands]

Yet another true xtian claiming the bible made him murder another human being. Xtianity is evil....

[FONT=&quot]Tennessee man allegedly wrote a jailhouse letter to a white supremacist group admitting he burned a black man alive — and cited the Bible as one of his influences.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Nashville’s WTVF reported Monday that John Daniel Carothers, accused of murdering his black halfway house roommate Robert Miller in March, claimed the Bible is “for white people” and referenced the religious text in his alleged confession letter.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]“I believe the Bible is about white people and for white people,” Carothers’ jailhouse letter read. “I am in the Rutherford County Jail for burning a black man I set on fire with lighter fluid poured on his head.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]After the sheriff’s department found the suspect’s apparent confession letter in the outgoing mail, prosecutors are now considering upping the charges against him using a hate crime “enhancement.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]WTVF noted that Tennessee does not have a specific hate crime statute, but that the U.S. Department of Justice may intervene — a move that could result in federal hate crime charges.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The report did not specify which white supremacist group Carothers reportedly addressed the letter to.

The "curse of Ham" excuse actually originates in Muslim scholars cooking up excuses for Muslim slavery.

Apparently evil attracts evil.

Now seems to be a good time to point out that Christians are statistically more likely to be racist than atheists.

That's not to say that we don't have our own racist assholes in our community (check out the Politics forum if you doubt that), but a higher percentage of them are racist, and that statistic seems particularly relevant right now.

Is it a coincidence that the creator of that travesty in Kentucky is Ken Ham?? (hint: yes, it is.)
