The Misfit and the Question of Belief
Captions available
The idea
The anchor describes the Misfit as pensive yet troubled, and states that his trouble centres on Christ's claim to have raised the dead. That makes the story's argument theological rather than psychological: the killer has thought about belief and settled the question the wrong way.
In practice
A killer with a theological objection.
Where people slip
His reason is stated, not implied.
