		<description>The problem with the church in many instances is that it is filled sinners, people who are human, and make mistakes. I&#039;m one of them!

In some cases people who go to church aren&#039;t even Christians and just use it as a way to look like a good upstanding member of the community.  Unfortunately people then judge the rest of the people in the church or faith based on the bad apples.  

Another case of someone who was in the church, was very involved, but also a bad guy?    The &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Rader&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;BTK Killer&lt;/a&gt;, the &quot;family man&quot; in Kansas who bound tortured and killed his victims, yet was still going home to his family who had no idea, and who attended church every week.  He was actually very involved at the church (he was a deacon) and was actually caught because of documents he had sent from the church computer to the police. 

Go figure, there&#039;s a lot of evil in this world, but there are also a lot of good people doing good things who just don&#039;t get into the news.

		<description>Yeah, I&#039;m glad to hear that he didn&#039;t kill anyone. An attempted robbery is something he can probably admit he was completely wrong about and live with. In time, it&#039;ll still be his dumbest mistake ever, but just that. I mean, it&#039;ll probably wreck his life what with jail and all, but at least he won&#039;t have to live knowing that he killed someone else over his own debt.

What particularly gets me about those familicides is that the parents kill their children too. The children aren&#039;t part of the debt. I&#039;ve been suicidal, I can understand wanting to end it all and escape (though I think once you have kids, you give up that options). But the children aren&#039;t in debt and they have a future. Their lives will be harder with foster care, etc, but they shouldn&#039;t be so bad that they&#039;re better off dead. It&#039;s very sad.
