Quote# 41125

[from: Bruce Hallman, the father of seven adopted children who works "full time for the Lord as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ,"]

"Andrea Yates is just another victim of the present-day apostate church," he says. "She had no strength in the Lord because she truly didn't know the Lord. A right relationship - truly worshipping Him in spirit and in truth - would have given her the overcoming power she needed to resist the Devil during her period of testing."

No no Brucie! She was actually talking to God, who told her to drown her children to save them from hell! You're the one that's been tricked by Satan!

Really? You think I'm wrong? Prove it!

@Horsefeathers: actually they prefer you to be religious when applying to adopt. Atheists however can't adopt (well, we can but they [seriously] do a more thorough background check). A child has an "innate need to know god" and needs "the good leadership of a strong church" "in order to be whole".

I wonder how may atheist mothers have drowned/suffocated/stabbed/beaten et al their child/ren to death? My guess - few if any.

Fuck off and die. If it wasn't for fundie bullshit she probably would have gotten the help she needed.

@Sisyphus

I don't know that I would be so quick to make that statement. I remember an incident in Toronto several years back where a mother jumped in front of a subway train with her newborn. Religion did not appear to be a motive. She was undergoing treatment. Sadly, she simply got away when no one was looking.
I would agree, however, that the non-religious would be quicker to seek medical assistance in such situations, whereas the overly religious will turn to prayer first.
Recent tragic events in the news can attest to the effectiveness of the latter.

Another non-true-Scotchman in training.

Hmph, looks like they should be giving the religious more thorough background checks, particularly those of a more fundie strain.
