Religious lunacy

a mother in texas cuts of babys arm because she believed she was supposed to "give the baby to God." She's pleaded not guilty by insanity, however the prosecution states, they haven't found her "to be dangerously insane during her treatment." Dr. Zaki who analyzed her, "characterized Dena Schlosser as “delusional and hyperreligious.” He said she told him in May she was staying up nights and reading the Bible, which scared her"

Now we have a funny twist to the story.
Her pastor has claimed that she is mentally insane and that treatment can't help her, only God can.
Hilarious! it's a belief in god that made her insane in the first place?

cases like this are funny because it illustrates in a dramatic manner exactly how everyone has different conversations with their fanciful god. One persons god is the cause of the problem, another persons god is the solution to the problem.

MCKINNEY - The pastor of a charismatic Christian church attended by the Plano mother on trial, accused of fatally cutting off the arms of her 10-month-old daughter, told jurors Wednesday that mental illness is really demon possession that cannot be cured with psychiatry or medicine.

"I do not believe that any mental illness exists other than demons, and no medication can straighten it out, other than the power of God," said Doyle Davidson, the 73-year-old minister of the Water of Life Church that Dena and John Schlosser attended several times a week.

wow such hatred but couldnt agree more
 
This reminds me of Steven Wade,
a school friend who lived a few doors down the road, when I was about 9 years old.

He was strangled by his mother, a Christian zealot keen on classical music.

The word was that she said "he had the Devil in him".

At the School they said a prayer then nothing more was ever said of it,
no big media story, all very quiet.

It's cases like this that make me laugh when religious people say God is needed to keep society in check. It doesn't surprise me that societies with secular values are healthier.

A literal belief in God and religions like this makes people do crazy things (see America).
 
You would have to be completely irrational to believe that it was her belief in God that made her attack her own child. It was her pychological instability, most likely caused from a chemical deficiency or excess, and her inability to treat it.

For her, God is not the problem, mental illness is. For anyone to attribute otherwise is like admitting that you are as irrational as she is.

It is completely rational to kill your children if you beleive the Bible to be the authority of God himself. If the Bible is the word of God, then it is God who is irrational - People like Dena Schlosser are merely doing what they are told.

All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)

Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)

From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. "Go up baldhead," they shouted, "go up baldhead!" The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two shebears came out of the woods and tore forty two of the children to pieces. (2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB)

If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to obey, I will inflict you with seven more disasters for your sins. I will release wild animals that will kill your children and destroy your cattle, so your numbers will dwindle and your roads will be deserted. (Leviticus 26:21-22 NLT)

Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children. (Isaiah 13:15-18 NLT)

I could go on...
 
You have a point, KennyJC. I wonder why people don't obey all the strange rules of Leviticus, too.

Max also has a point, crazy people could attach on almost any pretext to act crazy, like sports teams or politics.
 
Well so long as we agree that the Bible is crazy. If the Bible is crazy then it stands to reason people who take it literally are (or will become) crazy.

I just find it endlessly funny that the word of God is now illegal. 'True' Christians would find themselves in jail today which is why they must ignore half the Bible, which is an embarrassment to their faith.
 
that lady from trading spouses gets me every time. people like her are why american society is in decline.
 
'Suffer little chidren to come onto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God.'

In other words little kids who suffer and die will get into heaven because that's the way it is, Sorry. Permission to strap bomb on kid granted.

no not hers, because she is crazy, but those around her yes, their inability to notice, killed that child (the church and her husband).

yes for any religious people, it would be admitting their irrationality, well if the cap fits wear it.
but for any rational clearthinking person, shes a nutter, a fruitloop, a lunatic, any name you wish to call her shes absolutely crazy.

If her faith encourages her to kill a baby then her faith is completely screwball.
