"Christian" Cult Leader Murdered Boy He Thought Might Be Gay

The "love" exhibited by right wing Christians just never seems to cease demonstrating that under these people the main message of Christianity is hate and intolerance. Gays, of course receive an enhanced level of this hatred. Now, out of North Carolina come details of how Peter Lucas Moses (pictured at right), a self-styled Christian cult leader executed a four year old boy who he thought might be gay. How someone could do something to a child is horrible to contemplate, yet a literal reading of the Bible as applied by the Christianists and professional Christians makes such a horror justifiable in the minds of the unhinged. As I've wondered before, has Christianity destroyed more lives than it has aided? Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Moses who is also charged with murdering a woman. Here are highlights from the News Observer:
*
In a hearing Friday, prosecutors announced plans to seek the death penalty and revealed details of their case against Peter Lucas Moses Jr., accused of murdering a 4-year-old boy and a 28-year-old woman because of his beliefs and association with a radical religious sect. Moses, 27, faces two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Jadon Higganbothan, 4, and Antoinetta Yvonne McKoy, 28.

District Attorney Tracey Cline summarized bizarre scenarios that investigators had pieced together for what happened to Jadon and McKoy, who both lived at 2109 Pear Tree Lane, where the defendant had patched together a sordid family.
*
Moses subscribed to the tenets of the Black Hebrews, a radical sect that believes a race war is coming that will leave blacks dominant and supreme, according to court documents. Women who lived with the defendant and counted themselves as his wives or common-law wives - women who also face criminal charges in the case - referred to Moses as "Lord," prosecutors contend. Vania Higganbothan Sisk, Jadon's mother, who faces a murder charge in the case, was one of those women.

Sometime in October 2010, prosecutors told the judge, one of the women told the defendant that Jadon had hit another child's bottom, and Moses retaliated because he thought the boy might be homosexual - partially because the child's father had left his mother. Homosexuality, Cline contended, is frowned upon by the Black Hebrews, so the defendant asked the boy's mother to get rid of him.

Moses then ordered two of the other women to set up computers and speakers in the garage, prosecutors contend, then the defendant took the boy into the garage, where music and the Lord's Prayer in Hebrew blared, and a gunshot sounded. One of the women told investigators the boy was shot in the head. Some of the women cleaned up his bloodied body, prosecutors said, then put it in a suitcase in the master bedroom until Moses complained about the smell.

The story goes on to describe the murder of Antoinetta Yvonne McKoy, age 28. If this is what religion brings to the world, we'd obviously be better off without religion.
