Comments on: Religious “discipline” http://gods4suckers.net/archives/2007/04/29/religious-discipline/ Commentary, news, and rants on the evils and stupidity of belief in the big invisible daddy in the sky. Illuminating and watchdogging the widespread attempts to institutionalize the theocratic rule of the US. Making fun of believers everywhere.

They have been handing out "The Book of Mormon" to the solicitors, security staff, barristers and ushers at the court where the trial is. I hate it when people try to force religion upon you. Jury is out on the trial now. Expect a verdict today. The pair are nutters!

If anything, one would think the judicial system would have been structured with more flexibility for adult-on-adult violence than for adult-on-child. Slap an adult whose behavior you don't like and see where that lands you. Or use a weapon like a bat (rolling pin) and find out how many more years that can add to your sentence. Sick.

They are probably polygamists. Mind you I am not defending the LDS church, just stating that these women are probably FLDS. I wish I could see better what they are wearing. I am betting it is a dress and they probably have long straight hair. Living around here you get good at spotting the fundamentalist polygamists. Long old fashioned dresses, long straight hair. No make-up, and depending on age, at least 5 kids with them and one on the way.

Weird, I know, but let's face it, what fundie doesn't believe in "tough love"? It speaks to the psychology of what they believe about god. God is love and therefore any action of that god is a loving act - he is just torturing you for your own good. (That is the kind of thinking process I think they have.)

The article doesn't say if the kids are related to either woman, and doesn't say if they were foster kids, or anything. I am wondering how these women came to have custody of these children.
