Christian Love and Tolerance #3

Jared Polis is a Democrat and a member of the United States House of Representatives for Colorado's 2nd congressional district.

Polis is politically opposed by Gordon Klingenschmitt who sits in the Colorado House of Representatives, having won the seat for Republicans with 70% of all votes in the 2014 elections.

Klingenschmitt also runs a Christian website called "The Pray In Jesus Name Project" and constantly sends out begging letters, asking his followers to send him money so that he may continue in his efforts to save the world from the forces of evil.

In August, 2014, he sent out an e-mail, warning his gullible followers that Congressman Jared Polis was engaged in a campaign of persecution against good Christian folk, and was actually planning to have Christians murdered: 
The open persecution of Christians is underway. Democrats like Polis want to bankrupt Christians who refuse to worship and endorse his sodomy. Next he’ll join ISIS in beheading Christians, but not just in Syria, right here in America.

Another fine example of Christian love and tolerance - more honoured in the breach than the observance.

Christians around America hailed Klingenschmitt as their new messiah and sent him bucket-loads of money because that's the sort of news they love to hear. They don't care if it's true or not. They are in love with the idea that they are being currently persecuted and that one day they might be martyred for their faith. It makes them feel like "brave little soldiers in the army of the Lord", and they are prepared to pay money to any Christian preacher who will pander to that fantasy.

Interestingly enough, there was only one beheading in America during 2014. 

The killer was a sweet young Christian (maybe a follower of Klingenschmitt) who decided that his friend wasn't showing quite enough devotion to the teachings of Jesus - so he cut his head off !

STILLWATER, Okla. – A 21-year-old Stillwater man has been charged with first-degree murder in connection to the death of an area college student who, according to police, was nearly decapitated.

Isaiah Zoar Marin, 21,  is accused of using a “long knife or sword” to kill 19-year-old Jacob Andrew Crockett at an apartment in the 400 block of S. Oakdale in Stillwater.

[...]

Crockett’s brother, Jesse, told police Marin is a “heavy drug user” and “religious zealot,” according to the affidavit.

Marin’s brother, Samuel Marin, told police he and Isaiah were playing a card game and the victim was in the room with them.

The report says Samuel stated Isaiah had been watching YouTube videos related to his Christian beliefs.

During the card game, the affidavit claims Isaiah picked up a large black sword and began swinging it.

Samuel stated he heard a noise “described as the sound of someone getting stabbed. He stated he looked up and saw Jacob stand up and blood gushing from his chest.”

Samuel told police that Isaiah was still holding the knife.

At that point, the witness says he ran from the apartment.

He says Isaiah followed him, trying to calm him down and “would explain why he killed Jacob from letters he would write while he was in prison.”

Samuel told police Crockett and Isaiah had disagreements in the past.

He said Jacob Crockett and his brother, Jesse, “were practicing witchcraft and Isaiah had strong Christian beliefs.”
