“When Jesus was dieing (sic) on the cross and the temple colapsed (sic) at his hands, all the EVIL guilty people inside were killed. Was Jesus or God monsters? Why were they angry?” Borutski printed in pencil on the lined piece of paper. “Was God angry or MAD like an animal? Or was he frustrated with evil.

“When Samson asked God to give him his strength back one last time and God did — Samson pulled the pillars out and everyone was killed, all the evil doers — slanderers — tho shalt not bare false witness against they neighbour.”

In the Old Testament story, Samson was given extraordinary strength by God but was repeatedly betrayed by women.

In one instance, Samson’s wife had shared the secret of how his long hair gave him strength and shaved it off as he slept, leading to his being captured, blinded and imprisoned by his enemies. Samson would later ask God to give him back his strength one last time so he could destroy a temple by pulling down the pillars, killing his enemies and himself in the process.

“Was Samson a monster — was God a monster?” Borutski asked in the letter.

“Monsters aren’t born … they are made by people like you — with the power to portray — manipulate and judge — based on NO FACTS.”

“Judge NOT LEST YE BE Judged,” he wrote.

“Nobody has walked the almighty MILE that I have — NOBODY KNOWS BUT ME. There’s a big difference between knowing and judging — judging is based on stories TRUE and FALSE — LIES. Knowing is based on knowledge FACT.”
