I hope they really throw the book at this evil woman (and her man I presume) and also find out what bastard of a religious leader this freak was following. He must share the blame. Religion, it’s not even opium for the people, it’s rat poison

“That is the thing with religious people, they always assume…”

Nah, nothing wrong with insinuating that religion is the root cause of this woman’s insanity.

What about your garden variety psycho? Any thoughts there?

I say these “parents” should be thrown into a cell with no food and no water and let the msee what its like. See if their precious, non-existent “Allah” can save them!

citing one isolated incident has no bearing on the religion itself, the woman was friggin nuts…learn to distinguish the ginormous difference. Everyone always blames it on such simple minded reasoning but few understand the powerful abnormalities in imbalanced or disturbed beings. Look at the V-Tech massacres, everyone acts like the Korean kid was just naturally evil and violent, but he was deeply emotionally disturbed and everyone judges him as though he were a normal human being, not seeing the true source or understanding it. You can’t judge that kinda stuff from a emotionally/mentally stable perspective.

“Trying to use religion to properly raise your kids is like trying to perform brain surgery with a lead pipe”

Wow. Are you serious? You can’t possibly impugn all religious activity on the basis of this story or any number of stories regarding the actions of the criminally insane.

Perhaps analogies aren’t for you.

I there, Im positive the mother must’ve felt like her daughter was the work of the demon or something, otherwise I think a mother would not deliberatly starve their kids.
religion can make everyone go nuts, and for a land of open atheism like my Quebec homeland, this whole story sounds almost unreal. I call such actions an religious abuse of power, and I’d like to bring another one to your attention: http://www.canoe.com/infos/societe/archives/2009/06/20090612-062706.html
The site is in french sory, but what it says, is that today the Quebec court gave a sentence of 18 months only to an ex catholic priest who secually mollested a child 30 years ago. Injustice is everywhere my friend…
BTW, i like your blog , been browsing for a couple a days now and enjoying it, keep up!
