There was a shooting at a Unitarian Universalist church in Knoxville on the weekend. Two people died. The suspected attacker was, apparently, frustrated by Christianity. He was normal fairly peaceful, but sometimes had religious disagreements with his neighbors, one of whom is a King James literalist. If his attack was inspired by his frustration with Fundamentalist Christianity, then he picked a really bad target. Not that any target would have been a good one.

Edit: Though, apparently he was mostly mad at those darn liberals...

Are we talking about this shooting, during a musical (http://news.aol.com/article/police-say-church-gunman-hated-liberals/102408)? Because the AOL article - and AOL's usually right-leaning in my experience - suggests that this guy got all hopped up on how Unitarians were evil left-wingers.

That's the one. His neighbours said, in another news article, that he used to rant about Christians. Hmm. Sounds like a really messed up guy all round.
