From the New York Daily News:
If he had known the Bible better, he would not have done what he did. He would have read the account of the woman caught in Adultery (also declared to be an abominable sin), and he would have seen that Jesus said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
Had he looked into the issue more deeply, he would have found there is no consensus, anywhere in the world (except Nigeria) for his interpretation of the Scriptures.
I have a feeling that that would not have stopped the young man, however. One gets the impression from the facts of the story (Thomas was the sole inheritor of Seidner's estate) that when he stoned the old man to death, he was really stoning himself.
If you catch my drift.

Christian Stones Gay Man To Death in Pennsylvania
From the New York Daily News:
A 28-year-old Pennsylvania man has been charged with murder after telling police he stoned to death a 70-year-old man after the senior citizen allegedly made unwanted sexual advances toward him, authorities said Friday.The New York Daily News does not make it clear whether the young man declares himself to be a Christian, or not. But, that's what it looks like to me. He seems to believe gays are terribly guilty of some grave offense. He got the idea from the Bible. He thought about it, prayed, and then decided to follow what he had read in the Bible.
John Joe Thomas of Upper Darby told police he beat Murray Seidman using a sock that was stuffed with rocks because he read in the Old Testament that homosexuals should be stoned to death.
The relationship between the two is not known, but police said Thomas was the sole beneficiary of Seidman's will.
When Seidman, a worker in the laundry department at an area hospital, allegedly hit on the young man Thomas said he received a message in his prayers that he must kill Seidman.
The elderly man was hit in the head about 10 times, police said.
Thomas left Seidman dead in his Lansdowne apartment but later returned days later, calling police on Jan. 12 to make it appear like he just found the body, authorities said.
Delaware County medical Examiner Fredric Hellman ruled that Seidman had been dead for five to 10 days before police found him.
Cops found Thomas crying in the hallway saying "I'm not going down there again, there is too much blood,' according to court documents.
If he had known the Bible better, he would not have done what he did. He would have read the account of the woman caught in Adultery (also declared to be an abominable sin), and he would have seen that Jesus said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
Had he looked into the issue more deeply, he would have found there is no consensus, anywhere in the world (except Nigeria) for his interpretation of the Scriptures.
