Atheist Kills Wife – Stuffs Her Body In Feezer
Wait, did I say Atheist, I meant evangelical preacher.
Preacher killed wife, stuffed body in freezer, police say
An evangelical preacher killed his wife several years ago and stuffed her body in a freezer after she caught him abusing their daughter, according to police and court documents.
Anthony Hopkins, 37, was arrested Monday night at the Inspirational Tabernacle Church of God in Christ in Jackson, Alabama, just after he had delivered a sermon to a congregation that included his seven other children, officials said.
He faces charges including murder, rape, sodomy, sexual abuse and incest.
Hopkins was denied bail Thursday when he appeared before Mobile County District Judge George Hardesty. The case is set for arraignment next week, Hardesty’s clerk said.
The case began Monday, when the daughter, now 19, went to the Mobile Police Department’s Child Advocacy Center and reported that she had been sexually abused by Hopkins since she was 11 years old, according to an affidavit filed in support of a search warrant of the preacher’s home in Mobile.
The affidavit related the daughter’s story as follows:
Her mother, Arletha Hopkins, 36, caught her father abusing her in a bathroom in November 2004. Afterward, her parents argued, and her mother locked her father out of the house. The father came to the daughter’s window and asked her to let him in, and she did so.
The next morning, her father asked her to help him hide her mother’s body in the freezer in the laundry room of the home.
The girl said she moved out of the home about two weeks ago and was living with a neighbor. She told police that her mother’s body was still in the freezer.
When authorities went to the home, no one was there, as Hopkins and the other children were at the church. A body was found in the freezer, the affidavit says.
The point of article? Anyone that claims religious folk are on a higher moral ground than non-believers, are full of shit.

What does G-d have to do with man’s free will?

Man was made imperfect. Those without sin cast the first stone.

Governments committ genocide. How moral is that?
The point I am making is that noone is perfect. There is no justifying murder whether committed by a person that believes in G-d or one committed by an Atheist.
Here are more examples of idiotic senseless murders:
Armenian Masacre (Ottoman Empire, done by the gov’t and made to look like a Muslim/Christian war)
Germans massacred in Poland prior to WWII
Millions of Iraqis (Did not attack us nor invade us)
Nero killed thousands of Christians
Hugenot Massacre (Catholics slaughtered Protestants)
Read Foxe’s Book of Martyrs (Full of massacres)
Kurds killed by chemicals that USA sold to Hussein…
Etc., etc., etc…
Point being made is none of this is of G-d. It is a personal decision.
Peace, love, and everything good…

The scripture that comes to my mind is that if the righteous scarely make it in where will the sinner and the ungodly appear. This preacher was not saved, neither was he a sinner but certainly ungodly. Yes we all fall short and come short of the glory of God, but honestly there are some people like myself who is really striving to live GODLY. Therefore, don’t judge everyone according to others actions. Right now we need to pray for that preacher and the family that God will help them and most importantly heal those children. God bless everyone that read this.

Kay, I think you can do a lot better than strive to live Godly. God according to the bible was a murdering misogynist. Strive to live like a humanist.
Prayer is not going to help the preacher or his family. He has prayed lots in his capacity and where has it got him and his family? Has it made him a better person?
