This is really disturbing, y'all. Another crazy Christian uses the Bible and gay panic as reasons to kill another man.
John Joe tried to pass it off as someone else killed Murray. The policed learned that it was John Joe. He is being held with first degree murder charges.A 28-year-old Upper Darby man has been charged with murder after telling police that he stoned a 70-year-old man to death when the man made homosexual advances toward him, authorities say.
John Joe Thomas, 28, of Sunshine Road in Upper Darby, spent almost every day with 70-year-old Murray Seidman at Seidman’s Lansdowne home, police say. Days before Seidman’s body was found on Jan. 12, Thomas allegedly beat Seidman to death with a sock full of rocks.
Thomas told authorities that he read in the Old Testament that homosexuals should be stoned to death. When Seidman allegedly made homosexual advances toward him over a period of time, Thomas said he received a message in his prayers that he must end Seidman’s life, according to court documents.
Police say that Thomas struck Seidman in the head about 10 times with the sock of rocks. Thomas left Seidman dead in his apartment, and then threw his bloody clothing and the bloody sock in a dumpster, according to authorities.

Too bad this guy didn't read the part about "Thou shalt not kill."
What pisses me off is that this doesn't sound true to me, more like a convenient excuse cause the guy wanted to rob the old man. And I don't remember Jesus letting anyone be stoned to death. I do remember a bit about "Judge not, lest yee be judged", or something along those lines. I guess, since Joe Bob or whatever judged he thought the man should be killed, now it is his turn to be judged, but a jury. Gotta be fascinated by these Christians-by-excuse people.
As much as I would like to, I can't blame this one on religion. The victim was mentally impaired and grew up in halfway houses. He worked in the laundry room of a hospital. The victim made the mistake of befriending a patient in the psychiatric ward.
Wanted to let everybody know this guy may have have read this in the Old Testament but that was under Jewish law and is now no longer for those who believe in Jesus. I never write on these things but it disturbs me to see this man casting a shadow on my God.
Well, Jesus never did encourage or support violence of any kind. It's the Old Testament God that reportedly liked the stoning thing. Or was it just the people who worshiped the Old Testament God. Not sure...
..but anyway, the Old Testament also says that women who are not virgins when they get married should be stoned (if I remember my OT correctly), and I see very little of the Right Wingnut Bible Thumpers trying to stone women who aren't virgins!
But the gays. Now that's a stoning offense.
Crazy bigots. What is really hypocritical is that they are supposed to be Christian and as such belive what Jesus said. "I give you a new testament. Love one another as I have loved you." Easy.
Simple.
...and apparently...
Only a child can do it!
Something tells me that when John Joe gets to prison he's going to get all the "homosexual advances" he can handle. He'd better bring his little sock full of rocks with him...
I hope John Joe has access to his little sock full of rocks when he gets to prison, because I suspect he's going to get more "homosexual advances" than his delicate little psyche can handle.
Don't drop the soap, Johnny boy...
