An Oakland man has been found guilty of first-degree murder for shooting and killing his friend during an alcohol and cocaine-fueled argument over the existence of God.

Yim became enraged and grabbed his gun after Phan asked Yim where God was when Yim’s father died of a stroke several years earlier.
Yim shot Phan at least six times. Park was also hit by a bullet.

The comments section has turned into the usual "Hitler was an atheist" and "atheists lack empathy" shit.

But seriously, I wish I could say I'm surprised this would lead to typical, tired demonization of non-believers. Nope.

Note to self:

If on the off chance I ever do drugs, do not talk about religion, politics, or ponies, or else I will get shot to death.

Really? I think I heard from someone that MLP is pretty good to watch when tripping balls, what with all the bright colors.

Well, sure.  Watching it is fine.

But talking about it while high is the issue.  Because, you know... bronies.  And anti-bronies.

Because articles like this tend to bring out the worst in humanity.

Ironbite-seriously the worst.

So do alcohol and drugs, as was proven in this case.

Seriously, especially in Finland it seems like most of our homicides and fights are caused by alcohol and/or drugs. Childhood friends stab each other to death over a silly argument after drinking too much.

Even in this case, the original argument was a dickish move, teasing a guy over the death of his father. Not an justification for shooting him, mind you, but still a dick move.

I'll bet that argument was conducted at a high level before the gun appeared.

From what I read, it didn't sound like he was teasing him about his dad dying, but using it as an example of the age-old "Where was your god when you needed him most?"  Might've been a dick move bringing it up, but it was a valid point.

Moral of the story....If you & a companion decide to have a theological argument, make sure you & the other party are not bombed out of your skulls with various mind-altering substances. Thank you.

This is why I refuse to drink if I'm not already in a good mood.

With Deep Thought, of course.

You too will come to meditate on the mystery of 42.
