Gotta love organized religion.

MULTAN, Pakistan -- An enraged mob stoned to death a middle-aged man for allegedly desecrating the Quran in a remote village in eastern Pakistan, police said Sunday.
The custodian of a local mosque said he saw the man burning the Muslim holy book inside the mosque Saturday evening and told others before informing police, according to police spokesman Chaudhry Imran. The violence took place in a village in the district of Khanewal in Punjab province.
Imran said police rushed to the scene, where a man was found surrounded by an angry crowd. Officer Mohammad Iqbal and two subordinates tried to take custody of the man but the group began throwing stones at them, seriously injuring Iqbal and slightly injuring the other two officers
“The ill-fated man has been mentally unstable for the last 15 years and according to his family often went missing from home for days begging and eating whatever he could find,” he said. He said the body was handed over to the family.

Except that it has been rotten for decades, and it will rule this country through SCOTUS for decades to come. We are in this place because a small sector of evangelicals seized power. They did it with the language of power. They did it by declaring contempt for what was once universally considered a core tenet of Christianity: an emphasis on love of neighbor. Now, Trumpists revile this Jesus as “feminized.” Anger is more intense and attention-getting than love.
