<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Cho - who arrived in the United States as a boy from South Korea in 1992 and was raised in suburban Washington, DC, where his parents worked at a dry cleaner - left a note that was found after the bloodbath.
A law enforcement official described Cho's note as a typed, eight-page rant against rich kids and religion.
Cho indicated in his letter that the end was near and that there was a deed to be done, the official said.
<b>Disappointed with religion</b>
<b>He also expressed disappointment in his own religion, and made several references to Christianity.</b>
The letter was either found in Cho's dorm room or in his backpack. The backpack was found in the hallway of the classroom building where the shootings happened, and contained several rounds of ammunition, the official said.

I suspected yesterday that there might have been abuse of some sort by some christian teachers or priest/pastor during his childhood that might have partly contributed to the mental illness of this troubled man, knowing something of the south korean christian community in the US and some christian sects in south Korea. This particular news report points in that direction.
What exactly was he was disappointed about christianity, and his history with the christian institution, that might have contributed to his troubled past and shaped his personality?
