-Removed-beat it bozo, no one cares about your whinging, Proper knob managed to bring the thread back to where it should be. Take your hatred and bigotry elsewhere, this thread is about lynchings after church services on Sunday afternoons and what elements made it possible for an alleged Christian to sit listening to a sermon and then to invite his family, children and friends to witness a man being killed and mutilated in some kind of macabre festive spirit.

Southern Christianity largely rejected the Social Gospel that swept the north, choosing instead to focus on saving individual souls.
This is also of some interest but again no specific theological basis is provided to illustrate the idea, which is the real point of interest for us. I thankyou PK for the article and for bringing the thread back on track from whence it was derailed by lesser men.
