Would this religious person attak an Atheist? (America, church, priest)

[nick.leviman]

Priest Massaro had just finished hearing confessions in his Florida church when he was stabbed twice in the back by a woman who later told police Massaro is the Antichrist.

Don't you think that those kind of religious Moderator cut: edit people also attack non-believers? It's very dangerous to be an Atheist of Agnostic.

I just think that the person is simply mentally ill and a danger to anyone.

If that person assumed the atheist to be The antichrist, yeah.

Mental illness is epidemic in the USA. As many as one-third of all American adults exhibit symptoms of depression or anxiety and most are untreated. Eleven percent are being treated with medications. And we tell other people in the world how to live their lives, organize their cultures, and govern their countries.

It's not too easy to be a priest either. I may not believe what they do or support their church, but an anglican Vicar who was the recent victim of a ritualized murder (with apparent anti -religious aspects) did not deserve that and I feel very sorry about it.

perhaps the priest actually was the Antichrist?

did that ever occur to you, lol

Not for a minute. The attacker left some note about his hatred for Christianity rather than removing the Antichrist. However, it is one of those news events that seems to have slipped off the front page just recently, so I only have an outline.

Well yea, they believe in a god, of course they are

I agree with Janie.Cake....... I believe it probably has a lot to do with some kind of drug the woman was on, be it prescription or not.....Americans consume 80 percent of world's pain pills as prescription drug abuse epidemic explodes | Mail Online all this "prescription" drug use it's bound to happen...And jtur88, some people do need help, but haven't the money I guess, but I feel there are more addicts that do have the money, and don't even realize they've become addicts...some of the possible side effects of prescribed drugs are CRAZY, I'm talking suicidal thoughts, mood swings, etc
