So tell me again where parents are supposed to kill their children according to religion? (more specifically Christianity)
So that's all you took out of my post?
You keep looking at the event as something that began and ended with a stabbing. Very narrow view of the crime.
Christianity allows people to believe 2 things:
- the devil is a metaphor for bad/evil
- the devil is a physical entity that causes bad things to happen
These are 2 very different, very important opinions because it categorizes events such as the garden of eden and the 40days/40nights event as metaphors/parables or real life events.
It's obvious that not only did she believe the second option, but her opinion on it went unchecked. And what I mean by this, is the same thing us non believers say at moderate religious folks all around the world. We fear the actions of radical extremists as much as we fear the religious moderates who let their views fester.
I just said she's crazy. But how many people in her congregation had the balls to tell her that her interpretation of the bible was bullshyt because she was clinically insane? None.
Her being on meds keeps those kids alive. Her being on med doesn't stop her from believing that the devil can control people.
