Well the preacher looked like a kiddy fiddler to me - those blokes in beards - always dodgy.

Nothing in Christianity teaches apostates must be killed if they leave.

Anyway I don't want to get into apologetics for minor Christian sects - it's still middle eastern monotheism and therefore no friend of mine.

Also, Amish are peace loving people, who are not concerned with other people’s business. At least they are following the peaceful side of their holly book that makes them live at peace with nature and other human beings; unlike others who follow the aggressive part of the same book and go on steeling lands and causing mayhem and sufferings to others
