█████ just sent me a chilling article from the Detroit Free Press about a fellow who called the police after shooting another man in the head because the man didn't believe in God:

"How long would it take you to believe in God?" the suspect said he asked the victim.

"Not until I hear Gabriel blow his horn," the victim allegedly replied, while tipping his hat.
That's when the suspect shot him.
"I did it because he is evil; he was not a believer," the suspect told police.
The suspect said the victim "has been locked up most of his life."
Michigan Department of Corrections records indicate the victim was on probation for a drug conviction.
At the police station, the suspect commented that he believed there is a God.
