70 Year-Old Pennsylvania Man Stoned to Death "Because the Old Testament Refers to Stoning Homosexuals"
Ugly story out of Pennsylvania:
Authorities in suburban Philadelphia say a 70-year-old man was stoned to death with a rock stuffed in a sock by a younger friend who alleged the victim made unwanted sexual advances.
According to the criminal complaint, 28-year-old John Thomas of Lansdowne has told police he killed 70-year-old Murray Seidman because the Old Testament refers to stoning homosexuals.
Delaware County authorities announced Friday that Thomas was arrested and charged with murder.
If the perpetrator were following the uglier dictates of another book of myths -- say the Koran -- then this would obviously reflect poorly on all his fellow adherents. As it stands ... well, just a lone nutter.
