Not surprising that the Atlanta shooter was a devout Christian trying to rid the world of sin and temptation.
Now the church he is a member of is trying to say their techings had nothing to do with his acts. When things like this are beat into your head every Sunday, it's not surprising people are going to act on them.

The church’s statement placed the blame fully on Mr. Long. “The women that he solicited for sexual acts are not responsible for his perverse sexual desires nor do they bear any blame in these murders,” the church said. “These actions are the result of a sinful heart and depraved mind for which Aaron is completely responsible.”
The police said that Mr. Long, 21, told them that he has a sexual addiction, and that the shootings were an attempt to eliminate temptation. Mr. Long has been charged with eight counts of murder in the attacks on three massage businesses.
