3. Hopes God will put him in a position to ‘burn every church to the ground’

When asked whether he believed he would eventually be arrested and charged with Schonemann's murder, Sheafe said he "wasn't planning on getting away with it" and claimed he enjoyed divine protection from any legal consequence.

"I know who I am, and God would never allow me to spend the rest of my life in jail, and he'll never allow anyone to execute me, which is why I said set the execution date right now."

"God would never, ever, ever sacrifice his son," he added in an apparent reference to himself.

After being asked if he has any remorse, Sheafe suggested he would continue targeting pastors, priests and churches if he were to be set free from prison.

"Not only do I have zero remorse, I plan on fulfilling what I started. And if my father puts me in an authoritative position on this earth, I will execute every single priest and burn every church to the ground."

While his denominational background is not known, Sheafe revealed in the interview that he was baptized in Phoenix as a toddler and had wanted to end his life in the city.

"I start in Phoenix, where I was born in this life, and I'm going to end in Phoenix, where I was baptized, which I don't appreciate, when I was 3 years old by my parents," he said.
