Why even go to trial, just give her the nice 9mm bullet of righteousness behind the courthouse

That's retarded to an extreme degree. But what the hell is the prosecutor smoking? "She was an intelligent, vibrant, beautiful little girl. She was, in fact, an angel." What sort of pseudo-religious bullshit pathos is that? I hate that sort of nonsense.

Something tells me this woman is going to the psych ward.

Possessed by a Demon == Mother didn't do her job

Edit: That is a beautiful little girl. Not that this would have been any less sad if the girl was ugly, but damn.

 

[Kadarin]

What if she really was possessed by a demon? What then?

Well, you'd think the mom would have contacted a priest for an exorcism or something, but whatever..

 

[jonks]

Amazing how 90% of the country is religious, but as soon as someone goes above and beyond to send a demon back to hell, she is roundly condemned before the facts are even out. So god and angels and heaven exist, but demonic possession is impossible? I don't get it. Either it all exists or none of it does.

It was one of those must-be-killed-by-a-parent demons. And didn't The Exorcist prove that exorcisms generally don't go too well?

 

[cherrytwist]

Typical example of no accountability. Nobody here is blaming the demon :evil:!

Constantine seemed to be pretty good at it.

Exactly. Just how deep and sincere is our religious commitment?

FTR, I think the woman was batshit. But anyway.

I question why people cry at funerals. I figure if you believe the person is with god, in heaven, experiencing joys and happiness beyond anything known in the mortal world, then the satisfaction of knowing that the deceased is there would outweigh any transient grief at their passing. Like winning the lottery and getting fired on the same day. Who would care?

We care. Because we know deep down they are gone forever.

But I went to a funeral for a friend who died in college, and his parents ran their church. I don't remember what sect of christianity it was, but they were genuinely happy he was dead and with god. They were smiles ear to ear. It was beyond freaky. His sister could not be consoled however.

Religion only applies to things like sluts killing fetuses or queers wanting to go around having weird gay buttsex. Everyone knows demons can't possess little girls. That's just insane.

That said, everyone knows that if a little girl is possessed by a demon, you don't stab her to death, you get an exorcist. Then she crabwalks down the stairs, flies around the room on her bed, pukes green shit everywhere and says things that would make a pirate blush (my personal favorite being "Your mother sucks cocks in Hell"). The priest takes a swan dive out a two story window, he dies, the demon leaves the girl, and everyone is happy (especially the altar boys... that's right, I went there).

Your premise is flawed.

Your premise is flawed.

Depends on your definition of religious, you could argue merely spiritual or deist is not religious, but I disagree with you.

Polls indicate about 45% of Americans think Creationism is the explanation for the origins of man (Very Religious), and about 40% think man evolved while guided by a divine being (somewhat religious). About 15% think evolution by natural selection occured. So by my count, that's 85% either somewhat or very religious.

That doesn't mean 85% believe in angels and demons, but it does indicate an acceptance and belief in otherworldly powers to at least some degree. It is the general acceptance of that arbitrary drawing of the line between which metaphysical beings are possible and which are impossible that I was getting at.

At least somebody has their facts straight!

One of my favorite indicators (but by no means definitive) is church attendance. Interesting discussion of that here (including overreporting error). With the number of people attending some sort of religious service weekly at only 20-30%, I don't consider most Americans to be very religious, despite whatever they claim in surveys.

My God tells me that the mother needs to be dipped in battery acid until dissolved

 

[djheater]

Awful lot of pitchforks in this thread.

I think we can all agree that the lady fits the definition of insane. Sane people don't kill their children, that being said she'll spend the rest of her life confined, if she is truly delusional then it shouldn't be in the general population and should be in a facility dedicated to inmates with mental disturbance.

 

[Kaolccips]

Bitch is probably a paranoid schizophrenic.

On another note, a girl I knew from high school, her mom was kind of like this. One day she crashed into her room and pinned her down on the ground and put her hand on her head and started screaming to get the demon out and shit like that.. She said she just laid there like omfg are you serious. She wasn't even a bad kid or anything.. just normal.. lolll

Also my friend dated her for a little bit.. got caught at her house uninvited and her mom said she should just "do away with the both of you right now with a shotgun". Who says that? I mean I can understand to my friend, cause I'd be pissed finding a guy in my daughters room too.. But to your daughter as well? There are crazzzyyyy religious people like this all over the place.

(btw they were both 17)

The Catholic Church, according to the Wikipedia article on the subject, regards exorcism as a legitimate ritual. This means that according to the Catholic Church, demonic possession is a real phenomenon.

One can logically conclude from this that either the Catholic Church is wrong and the idea of demonic possession is just so much horseshit, or there is a probability greater than zero that the daughter in this case really was possessed. The mother was most likely not authorized by the Catholic Church to perform an exorcism, but that's besides the point because any number of things could have happened while the daughter (or mother?) was possessed.

If we claim to be religious yet completely discount the possibility that the mother was correct in her assessment of the situation, then we are guilty of picking and choosing which parts of our religion in which to believe. This is akin to picking and choosing which Bible verses to quote in order to support some point or another, while ignoring other verses that contradict the same point.
