75. But, you see, there are thousands of other factors that contribute

to the hatred of gays - and most of them aren't "Christian" based. Most of them are fear-based.

To automatically assume this crime was committed as a result of some "Christian" dogma is as bigoted as these three men are against homosexuals.

It may, very well, turn out that these three men belonged to some religious organization that taught them this hate. But, more than likely, I'm guessing their hatred of gays was more based in fear (either of something unknown or that they, themselves, might BE gay) than because they listened to Dobson, Robertson or some other preacher.
