This story is only one where hate has taken a life. I don't believe that Jesus would approve of such torture nor have a reason to torture. Many fundamentalist Christians feel they have a moral obligation to carry out such attacks. Their hate is the 'real sin'. Their lack of love is the real sin. Their murders are the real sin. We are all one in Christ Jesus!

Their hate is the 'real sin'. Their lack of love is the real sin.

Indeed! Scripture says: "By your LOVE shall all men know that you are my disciple". To love God, AND our neighbour AS ourselves is the first and greatest commandment.

        (Reuters) - A University of Wyoming student savagely
        beaten in an apparent hate crime because he was gay died
        early Monday, a Colorado hospital said.  Matthew was
        a member and also an acolyte in St. Mark's Episcopal
        Church. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://home.wanadoo.nl/inspiritus/Dangerous%20love.htm">
        Matthew had been lured from a campus bar shortly after
        midnight on October 7 by two men who told him they were
        gay. He was driven to a remote area near the Sherman
        Hills neighborhood east of Laramie, tied to a split-rail
        fence, tortured, beaten and pistol-whipped by his
        attackers, while he begged for his life; he was then left
        for dead in near freezing temperatures. A cyclist who
        found him on Snowy Mountain View Road at 6:22 pm, some 18
        hours after the attack, at first mistook him for a
        scarecrow. He was unconscious and suffering from
        hypothermia. His face was caked with blood, except where
        it had been partially washed clean by tears.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://home.wanadoo.nl/inspiritus/Dangerous%20love.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/home.wanadoo.nl/img/20671A07-4D1E-44B1-A91D-35F37D534AAB" alt="We will overcome hate and fear" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/457092D7-F4D8-42DB-A886-795A55B960ED/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
