Hates the local Lutheran Church? Tch. Whatever.
He REALLY hates it enough to plan and then throw Molotov Cocktails into the building.
Why? Because:
"Sexton said he wanted to destroy the church because he did not agree with its religious character."
"Police in Loveland arrested Sexton, 22, after the fire at the church on Jan. 19. According to investigators, Sexton admitted that he set the fire by throwing two Molotov cocktails at the church, one at the front door and the other at the basement. He also admitted that he was motivated to set the fire due to the religious character of the church and that he intended to destroy the church."
" One of the fire bombs charred the church's front doors. The other device was set off in the church's basement."

-As usual, "smart" and "intolerant and hate-filled" don't have much to do with one another:
"According to the criminal complaint, investigators followed footprints in the snow near the church to a nearby neighborhood and to Sexton's house.
A doorbell camera at the church showed a person wearing a mask throwing one of the Molotov cocktails at the front door. The person in the video was wearing similar clothes recovered from Sexton's home by FBI and ATF agents, the complaint says.
Investigators also found a plastic bottle at Sexton's home was similar to one found in the church basement.
Two days before the fires, a Loveland liquor store surveillance camera showed a man who looks like Sexton buying Admiral Nelson's Premium Watermelon rum -- which was the same type of glass bottles found at the church, the complaint says.
Sexton is scheduled to be sentenced on July 21. He faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000."
Looks like a run of the mill Lutheran Church to me. They do give out counseling and food and clothes in a small way to the homeless community.
My guess is that's what he hated.

The fires at Abiding Love Lutheran Church in Loveland caused "slight damage." The church's sprinkler system helped put out one of the fires.
