Why Not Ban Christmas and Marriage

This is a Fox News report:

COVINA, Calif. — Stinging from an acrimonious divorce, a man plotting revenge against his ex-wife dressed up like Santa, went to his former in-laws' Christmas Eve party and slaughtered at least eight people before killing himself hours later.

Bruce Pardo's ex-wife and her parents were believed to be among the dead. Investigators planned to return to the scene Friday and sift through the ashes of the home, which Pardo set ablaze using a bizarre homemade device that sprayed flammable liquid.

A car that Pardo apparently parked near his brother's home, where Pardo was found dead, exploded Thursday evening and more ammunition was found in it, Los Angeles police Sgt. Francisco Wheeling said. She had no immediate details on what set off the explosion. No one was hurt.

Investigators seeking further information about Pardo's motives have begun searching his home in the suburban Los Angeles community of Montrose.

Pardo, 45, had no criminal record and no history of violence, according to police, but he was angry following last week's settlement of his divorce after a marriage that lasted barely a year.

"It was not an amicable divorce," police Lt. Pat Buchanan said.

I am just rondering here. The marriage didn't even last that long. Pardo(n) my cynicism, but how could he have killed someone he hadn't owned more than a year?

My big question is, if this had been a story about a gay man dressed as a woman who did this because of a relationship breakup, wouldn't we be hearing preachers(Rick Warren, John Hagee, etc...) calling for a ban on gay marriage and homosexuality? After all, didn't they suggest Hurricane Katrina was God's wrath against gays?
