So much for the Religion of Peace....
Creationist stabs, kills evolutionist. I guess arguing that you don't believe in mythology is a provocation to murder.
Religious fanatics are the most dangerous people in the world folks, no matter their religion.
"Scottish backpacker stabbed to death after creationism row"
From news.independent.co.uk: "A bizarre row about evolution versus creationism led to an English backpacker fatally stabbing a Scottish backpacker during a fruit-picking trip to earn money for their travels.
Alexander York, 33, from Essex, was sentenced to a maximum of five years in jail yesterday for the manslaughter of Rudi Boa, 28, a biomedical student from Inverness.
The incident happened in January last year at a caravan park in southern New South Wales, where York had become friendly with Mr Boa and his girlfriend, Gillian Brown. The Scottish couple had just arrived in Australia, and headed to Tumut, a picturesque town at the foothills of the Snowy Mountains, to pick fruit.[..]"
This is the stunning part:
"Mr York is eligible for release in January 2009."
A Christian nut-job kills someone in cold blood because they don't believe the way he does and he'll hardly do any jail time?
Is a life worth that little? He deliberately, intentionally stabbed someone to death ...how can it be only manslaughter?
Because the judge seems to think that York is basically a good little Christian.
Now if it had been the other way around, and the guy who believes in science and reality had killed the Christian ... well, creationists would be jumping all over it saying it “shows” how evolutionists are crazy and evil.
Justice Adams said, "The offender is a person of good character and the offense is a complete aberration."
So killing someone during an argument doesn't make you a bad person. The moral of the story is if you kill somebody in Australia it helps to be a religious nut.
My friend said it says more about drunk people than about religious people.
But I don't know....doesn't booze lower one's inhibitions, revealing the true self? In Vino Veritas?
