Not siding on the dirtbags who did this horrible act but perhaps he got what he deserved?
I think well see a lot more come out as time goes by.
To denounce God by the acts of a few is just rediculous. Especially if your going by what the news says.
There is by far a lot more good than bad.

Not sure what the strip clubs have to do with it. As to being a bad car dealer, perhaps. As to the wife, well, guilty by association. Seems like they had some eccentric habits too.
I agree. However, I am not looking at just the few acts the media portrays. The entire religion groups (pretty much all of them) is just a superstition based thing to me. It serves little purpose except to divide people and be the point of friction between peoples. That said, mankind is such that they can find enough friction points to justify whatever they want to do. I see religion as a means to control people with the threat of some invisible guy that will give you some punishment if you don't follow the rules that was supposedly laid out. That combined with the lack of benefits makes me thing it is not worth the time. Religion is there because man needs answers. If they can get a right answer, great. If not, any one will do. That is where religion comes into play. It gives an answer. You are given an answer and you cannot question it because you will never understand it. Like I said, pretty convenient.
Not in the natural state of man. That is why we have all the laws and punishments, etc, etc. And with that, we come to the other part of religion. Control. In this life, we have only to outwit mankind's laws and we are home free. Kinda like Bernie Madoff. We will never get the full justice out of him since he probably will be soon dead. BUT WAIT!!! Now we have someone that will punish him in the other world. That means that he will be punished NO LESS THAN once.
