Christian Rocker: Yes, I Hired Hitman to Murder My Wife

He looks a little scary, but I mean... is divorce really that bad you'd want to kill your wife? I mean.... ****... why? just why? embarresed? ashamed? can't afford it? murder makes no sense and I don't know why people would do this

Yes. When your ex-wife bails and restricts your visits with your children, you do want to. I won't lie and say I didn't think about for a second. But that's about as long as I thought about it.

Wow... things got really real... Rocket I am so so sorry for everything thats happend to you, I cannot imagine the kind of pain and suffering you must of gone through. I'm so sorry I hope everything turns out okay for you, you're a great guy and I really enjoy your threads and posts
 
So why is it relevant that he is a "Christian" rocker, then? :shrug:

It's the title of the article he posted, which he then mentions is not his personal point.

He is no longer part of the church, so I wonder if he's really still part of that band or what. ie he may have disavowed his xianity before hiring a killer. It does mention a new album coming out, but that could have been recorded before he lost faith.

Prosecutors said Lambesis had sent his wife an email several months before she filed for divorce telling her that he no longer loved her or believed in God. She also discovered several of his extramarital affairs, she said.

So really the xian part of the title should be revised by all the media outlets using it.

Or replaced with the angry version: "xtian".

Nope not even that. Since he's lost his faith, he's neither. xian or xtian can be angry, in my case it's just disrespectful. Foolish people don't make me angry.

depends on the divorce. some divorces are really nasty and this looks to be like on of them. the stress of a divorce and everything else drives people to do irrational thinking.
 
Yeah, if only he had been a long time advocate of hiring hitmen to murder your wife he might not look like such a hypocrite now... :roll:

Actually that's a true statement, so I'm confused by the eyeroll at the end. Had he been a gangster rapper, or Ted Nugent, or ... it would be bad, but it wouldn't seem hypocritical.

The point is that the "Christian Rocker" doesn't somehow make him uniquely hypocritical for trying to off his wife. The vast majority of people of all beliefs and non-belief are opposed to murdering their spouse.

I mean if the headline was "Atheist Rocker tries to kill Wife" would you think "well, duh..."

Or maybe, you know, it was wrong to do that. Just a thought, I know it's from way out in left field.
 
Newsflash, not every one that claims to be a christian really is a christian. False prophet ring any bells?

Heck the catholic church claims they are christian as well they are not even close to a christian church.

another phony they are out there, look at the white house for another example!

Of course it is. It was no made no more wrong by the him being a Christian.

No, but if I heard gangster rapper.... I'd think "duh" and if it were Ted Nugent, I'd think "duh". Furthermore it isn't just the aspect of killing the wife, but more as it relates to the "family values" xians try to hold against others. So I get that by being obtuse you're trying to make a point, but we all see the hypocrisy of a xian rocker trying to off his wife... well except for the fact that he lost his faith before he tried to kill his wife.
 
Update: Upon further research, I learned that the person in question no longer has a deep Christian faith.

I also learned that his children were adopted. Which only makes me able to identify with him even more. Once you go through the process of an international adoption (as I did and as he did), giving up on those children is extremely difficult. I barely know his music, but as a musician and adoptive father going through a divorce in which my parental time has been extremely restricted, I feel like we are very similar. I'm glad that I never seriously thought about doing what he did (though I admit that the thought crossed my mind briefly).
 
And in trying to gather something about his music, I listened to about a minute of a song. Very much not my thing....
