It was most likely caused by lightning

Thats what I heard reported also. Storms in the area at the time of fire. Guilty until proven innocent. Those white Christians caused this by praying for lightning to hit the church I know they did.

I would find it difficult to believe that a God fearing Christian would burn down a church. I would also find it hard to believe that a God fearing Christian would hate another man because of the color of his skin. A Christian person could absolutely lose their mind monetarily and do something stupid but to systematically and willfully do something like this just isn't possible.

 

You aren't serious about the bolded are you?

 

Timothy McVeigh was a Christian. Wackos come in all kinds.

How concentrated are the fires that were arson? Are they close enough that they suspect the same people?

All seven or just the most recent one?

They are all in the south. North and South Carolina and Tennesee are where some took place. Maybe Arkansas also.

Thanks, didn't know how close they were so these are obviously the work of different people with the same sick idea. Poor excuses for human beings.

Have at it. I'm just saying I know a pastor of a church that most, if not all, of the congregation is black. If you told him he pastored the black church he would correct you on the spot.

 

Right.. because a pastor correcting me about calling his church black negates a sick person attacking churches because they are associated with black people.

Says who? Your understanding of Christianity is much different than mine.

According to the news two of those were caused by storms and another by accident. Sometimes by using labels we bring on attention that was warrented. By all means bring as much attention to the race issue as possible, it certainly isn't done enough.

So they were all within 1000 miles of each other?

Says history?

You're right. Just by chance all 4 that were arson just happened to be black churches. Nope, not racially motivated at all.

Without looking at maps and doing calculations that sounds about right. It's about 600 miles from my house to Myrtle Beach so I'm guessing within 1000 miles works.
