So... why aren't parents being warned about those "evil Baptists?"
Could Baptist teachings have "caused" this otherwise wholesome and good man to burn down a store? Could the Christian God really have told this fine outstanding young man to do such a thing? Sheesh. Of course not. But if it had been a Wiccan burning down a Christian book shop, you can bet the coverage would be different.
WBIR.COM - Man says he torched porn store for religious reasons:
Fire investigators say a Powell man admitted dressing up like a ninja to burn down an adult business, all in the name of God. Benjamin Daniel Warren, age 20, faces an arson charge that could send him to prison for six years. Warren is out on $5,000 bond while his case goes before a grand jury. Arson investigators had no clue Warren was a suspect until he came in to confess.
Arson investigators say Warren admitted using a fake gun to get the clerk out of the Town and Country bookstore,7011 Clinton Highway, back on January 31. After ordering the employee to leave the store, Warren then pored six gallons of a flammable liquid inside the store and set it ablaze.
The fire did $900,000 worth of damage to the building, which remains closed.
At the time of the asron, Warren was enrolled as a student at Crown College, a Baptist institution in Powell.
Crown President Dr. Clarence Sexton says Warren dropped out of the school a few weeks after the arson. A few months later, someone came to Sexton with information that Warren might have confessed to the crime.
