When theology turns deadly

From the ABC:


Drunk dispute over God leaves two dead


A dispute over the existence of God between four Russians, drunk on a litre of pure alcohol, resulted in two of them being killed, news agencies reported.


The disagreement began over the weekend when the female house owner, her son, a male roommate and undisclosed male relative drank the litre of pure alcohol, "which they downed with snow," a police investigator told RIA Novosti.


"Soon after the drinking session, the suspect [the son] and the two other men got into a fight about the existence of God," the police official in the western Siberia region of Tomsk reported.


The son ended up attacking both men with a knife, killing them both, the report said.


The suspect, who has a prior conviction record, faces life in prison if found guilty.
