Look at the Priests who molested children...they weren't in any sort of weird religion, they were Catholic, and very devout Catholics at that. Hell, they were priests! |
Of course they can.
Actually, just believing in God isn't enough to be a Christian. A Christian is somebody who believes that Jesus died on the cross to save him/her from his/her sins, rose again, and lives in Heaven now and that Jesus is God.
Actually, a Christian is supposed to act in the manner of Christ, at least as much as possible. They don't always, but that is because they are human too, hence they sin as well.
No, you don't have to be in a cult to kill someone but you DO have to have motive somewhere or else some sort of mental insanity, if there was no motive. That has nothing to do with Christianity and can happen with a person from any religion or no religion at all.
Also, funny you should say they were from no sort of "weird religion" because many Christians view Catholicism as corrupted and, actually, a weird religion! Not all, of course. Also, how is a priest more perfect than anyone else? A preist is worth no more and no less than any other person. A common man or woman or child could be holier than a priest--it is what is in the heart that counts, rather than what is on the outside.
