Can U believe this: Texas Woman cuts off her babies arms

Honestly, that's the most ignorant, narrow-minded thing I've ever seen you post.

When did I say all religious people cut their babies arms off? All I was saying was that I had noticed a parallel between devoutly religious people and violent crimes. I never said that all religious people kill people, nor did I say that all murderers are religious. But seriously, there was a guy a couple years ago near here who was a Jehovah's Witness and murdered his family. Aileen Wuornos was religious, if I'm not horribly mistaken... Hey, I could be wrong, but it does seem like a lot of violent crimes are commited by people who are religious in one form or another. Not to mention the nutjob Muslim extremists who kill hundreds or thousands of people.

NOTE: I am NOT saying that all religious people are murderers, terrorists, rapists, or anything of the sort and never was.

only in texas...

Its quite obvious this is the product of an extremely sick minded person, period.

Honestly, I don't EQUATE this with Christianity.
I was trying to express that I don't feel that being involved in the Christian community is causative, but that sometimes it can complicate the process of finding appropriate help.

Further, of COURSE we're all noticing more incidents of this nature. That's primarily becuase we notice what the news media highlights for us, and it highlights events that involve hot-button issues, such as child murder and religion.

And, only in Texas...? I don't think so, buddy.

^Exactly what I was pointing out.

Me'h, let's go have another cup of joe.
Looky, I've noticed LOTS of non-religious and tepidly religious folk disseminating the stark horror and ugliness, too.

What? Are you deaf, or do you just choose to not hear the blatant racism against arabs and the slurs against Muslims everyday?

Kiddo, it was not a sadistic act.
In my opinion, she's psychotic first, second, third, fourth... I could go on, but the other aspects of her which might manifest in her behavior would be WAY down any list I made.
She's not functioning in our reality. She's living in her own. Too bad for her children that her reality intercepts our physically. Too bad for her children that somebody didn't remove her from that house, and give her an environment in which she could do no harm to others.

Hey, don't mess with Texas! 😛

If you do, they'll cut your arms off, apparently...

That's stereotyping saying that all Christian people are killers. Muslims have killed thousands more of their own and others than other "religious" people, yet I hear nothing of them; Just Christian-bashing.

You have heard of the crusades, the inquisition, etc?

Did you know alot of those were Catholic based? The early Catholics were extremely abusive to society. Theres a difference in ancient Catholicism and Christianity.

You haven't been looking closley. I've seen dozens of instances where people bash Muslims here.

How can you so casually link modern Christianity and its role in our culture with ancient Christianity and its role in an ancient culture?
How do you then relate that to this specific case, which has so much to do with mental illness, and so little to do with religion?

What is the relevance of the Crusades and the Inquisition to one isolated, insane woman who identified as a Christian?

Oh God, don't get me started, or I'll demote you to Warrant Officer...

Medieval times, crazy goony people. The Muslims did the same thing. As soon as they became a religion, they went rampaging.

Exactly. There's no way you can use the Inquisition and the Crusades as a valid reason for "religious insanity."

Demotion! Demotion! Better yet, court martial that man.

Muahahahha!

Exactly, Mane. Too long ago to matter much. In the time when people rode horses, drew swords, and played croquet for fun...

Exactly, ??Mane??
How did I get myself on YOUR ignore list? Well, it must have been something fun...too bad I can't remember it.

Ragesremorse: takes balls to cut a baby's arms off, hmm how does that take balls?? Takes being nut case sounds to me like, or living in Texas J/k

Arachnoidfreak, you are right, it's not unbelievable, it is happening more and more in the world today. But it sure does freak me out every time I here about it. Its nuts, crazy!!!!

Just because someone says they are a Christian, does not mean they are, you can tell by someone's actions, attitude. I can tell you that I'm BLACK all I want, does it mean I am Black?? NO, you can tell by looking at me that I'm not, same as with a Christian, you can tell if someone if the real thing or not. How in the world this got into that, just cuz of the song that was playing in the back ground, and other nut case things that have involved someone proclaiming to be a Christian yet drowning, killing their kids...doesn't mean they are a Christian.
The lady sounds like a nut case to me.
