So the whole theory cheapens life.<br />And I started reading books that show how evolution is just a complete lie, because there’s no, there’s no basis in science to it to hold it, and I’ve since come to believe that, uh, that the Lord Jesus Christ is the True Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, it didn’t just happen, I have accepted Him as my Lord and Savior. And I believe that I, as well as everyone else, will be accountable to Him.”<br /><br /><br />Dahmer isn't a representative of those who accept evolution. The quote is misleading because it isn't complete. He was trying to explain his previous beliefs contrary to what he believed in the last few months before his execution. Sure, that's no "excuse" for the terrible things he did, and I'm definitely not protecting or defending him, but if you watch the interview, he takes full responsibility for his actions and is "angered" by those who attempt to blame his crimes on his upbringing, belief system, family, etc. <br /><br />Just a thought.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173613382942117111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19722540.post-59279566906219851732009-02-06T11:45:00.000-05:002009-02-06T11:45:00.000-05:00Please do.
