“In the shadows and light it looked like he had hit an animal,” said Dan Robinson, the chief of Crows Landing Volunteer Fire Department, who came upon the chaos driving home from a late dinner in Turlock. “As we backed up again, I could see that he had blood on his arms. I could see that it was a small child.”

Robinson jumped from his vehicle and confronted the man, who lunged at him. Robinson said the man wasn’t screaming and wasn’t loud, but was forceful, saying “demons” were in the boy.

“Give me the knife. Give me the knife,” the man said as he grabbed for a pen in the fireman’s front pocket.

“There was a total hollowness in his eyes,” Robinson said, “like I could see right through to the back of his head.”

4. Sorry, but it's always god that makes 'em hurt their kids

I'm sure atheist can go crazy too... but goddammit, every time. Every.fucking.time.

(At least) 5 women in about as many years killed their children horrifically in Texas in the not too distant past. It got to where I could write the news story before the facts came out. Extreme religious beliefs, depression or psychotic episodes, culminating in either God telling them what to do, or indicating somehow that life on earth was not a good idea for these children. One woman cut her baby's arms off.


Crazy beliefs give crazy a headstart.

8. Please. Let's be clear.

It's not God. It's a combination of mental illness and "religon". Not the same as faith. Or God.
Peace.

10. It's a version of God

It's their faith, it's their belief. Combined with mental illness.


But their belief is so crazy to start with, who can say where crazy belief stops and mental illness starts.

If someone believes God can talk to humans, why wouldn't they listen when he talks to them?


That's the problem.


Bad beliefs kill.
