Hypocrisy: Anti-Gay Minister Murders Roommate's Girl as Revenge (A Rant) via /r/atheism

Submitted September 05, 2021 at 09:08PM by Inevitable_Discount (Via reddit https://ift.tt/3DPKy1r) Hypocrisy: Anti-Gay Minister Murders Roommate's Girl as Revenge (A Rant)

Hello all.

I'm relatively new here, and I appreciate how kind and supportive everyone here is. It's much better than a church.

Speaking of churches, I stumbled on this case this morning while watching the ID channel while cleaning the house. This case had me spellbound and I actually stopped cleaning to watch it. I wanted to share it with you guys because of how strange it all is. It shows how a man of "god" completely lost his shit and eliminated an obstacle in his obsession, all the while being a huge hypocrite in the process. It will also show why I left Christianity in the dust.

Buckle up. This is a long one.

In January of 2008, 21 year old college student Latrese Curtis was found dead on the side of Interstate 540 in Raleigh, NC. She was stabbed 40 times in the head, neck, chest, and stomach. Detectives first zeroed in on her hubby, Darin Curtis as a possible suspect. Darin had reported his wife missing the morning her body was found.

It was later found out that Latrese was stepping out on her hubby with a former college basketball player, Steven Randolph. Steve ostensibly didn't have a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it out of, so he met up with Robert Lee Adams Reaves in 2007. The two would run into each other at the mall and chat it up.

Reaves, who was a minister at Cedar International Fellowship in Durham, NC, offered to allow Randolph to move in with him. Randolph accepted the deal for $300 a month. Reaves was wildly anti-gay and his congregation agreed on his stance about homosexuality being a bad thing (It's not. Murdering someone is). Randolph moved in to Reaves' house that he shared with his sister.

This is where things get weird. Reaves was asking Randolph if he was a "freak" sexually and even looked at his junk when Reaves brought up the fact that he can get him in the sexual escort business. He also told Randolph that he can live rent free if Reaves was able to perform oral sex on him.

See, Reaves had a history of "mentoring" young men and then making sexual advances towards them. In fact, Reaves had a record with charges of simple assault and third degree sex charges back in the 1980s. You would think some of this information would have leaked to his "holy" congregation.

Randolph got all freaked out (and rightfully so) and asked to borrow a gun from his cousin to keep in his bedroom in case Reaves was feeling even more randy. In the preceding months, Steve's tires were slashed, and Steve's, a bit of a ladies' man, girlfriends had their tires slashed. Steve was in fact also two-timing Latrese with some other woman. That other woman had her tires slashed, Latrese had her tires slashed, and there were weird phone calls from random young men threatening the two women.

On the evening of January 30th, 2008, Latrese met up with Randolph at the shared house for a sexual liaison. After they did the deed, Latrese left and Reaves followed her. He forced her off the road, then said some shit about "Oh, pray to Jesus with me" as he got into her car. That is where he chopped her up and left her body on the side of the expressway.

The insane thing behind it is that his congregation sort of defended him, saying "Well, you're innocent until proven guilty!" Yes, I believe in due process, but not when it's super obvious who the killer is. Reaves' DNA was found all over Latrese's car. He was there. Also, his record shows he has a propensity for murder. How brainwashed do you have to be to try to defend someone who is so obviously guilty? It boggles my mind.

Reaves was convicted of Latrese's death and ended up with a life sentence.

This is why I turned my back on the whole Christianity thing. It's insane the amount of fucking ministers, pastors, priests, etc. who sit around spouting all of this anti-gay rhetoric when they are closeted themselves. It reminds me of those Republicans who run around quelling gay rights but then get caught up in a scandal where they are trying to hook up with young men/boys. Sorry to get political, but those kind of actions need to stop. And the Bible teaches them how to hate, something that contradicts the very thing that Jesus preached. I don't get it.

Is the self hate really worth it? And if you hate yourself, how can you love both Jesus and "god"?

What's even crazier is that he was a minister in a church full of people too blind to see that something about him was "off". They can supposedly predict every event leading up to the end of the world and the hell-bound fate of "non-believers", but for some reason, they had no insight or foresight to what was happening right under their fucking noses. I'm sure this minister didn't just wake up one day and say "I'm going to chop someone up". No. There had to be signs that he was "off". There are always signs like that with someone who isn't "all there". Hell, he had a record for both violence and unwanted sexual acts. He has the propensity to commit this vile act. Since he was seen as a "man of god", I'm sure the congregation turned a blind eye to those possibilities. That's why so much foolishness is accepted in the church. It's the blind leading the blind. That's why I turned my back on it.

Furthermore, I feel the most bad for Latrese's family, especially her husband. In the wake of all of this, he found out his wife was stepping out on him with some bum; a guy who could have been job hunting instead of thinking with his dick. The husband also found out that Latrese may or may not have been pregnant by said bum, and the fact that he was suspect #1 for a little bit. Then he finds out that his wife has been chopped up and left on the side of the expressway like trash. It's just a sad thing, the whole situation. That poor girl.

Sorry for the huge rant, but I was disgusted and fascinated by this entire case.
