So just like Trumpler uses an immigrant killing an American as fuel, he'll also use these Christians killing an American right? RIGHT?

Proselytize Religion
From Reddit
As a community with an interest in providing the best resources to its members, the following wiki links are provided as historical reference until we can establish our own.
God wanted them to go to prison for manslaughter. Oh well. Nothing we can do about it.
Thoughts and prayers for God to manifest true repentance in their hearts.
If it works, we'll see them seek a reclassified verdict on themselves, of First Degree Murder. But it won't.
Best response. Made me laugh maniacally.
Perfectly true in believer terms - the court is just doing God's work.
a cult-like Christian group
Redundant.
Religion is a mental disorder
Fucking finally.
Insulin for type-1 diabetes.
Thank you!
Not the first time either... virtually identical scenario in Oregon. So close I had to check the names and make sure the story wasn't just moved to Australia:
This type of thing certainly isn't isolated.
If I believed I was talking to my invisible friend Fred, and that he was almighty & all knowing and should listen to his advice and that he had magical powers... I'd be diagnosed with schizophrenia. Why has science made some special exception for certain religions? Medical professionals aren't doing their job & are doing a big disservice by ignoring their own literature. This is where we are at in America.

You're blaming science. The real culprit is the legal system. There's a bit in one of the linked articles about it:
Prompted by the church's long history of child deaths, the Oregon Legislature in 2011 removed spiritual treatment as a defense for all homicide charges.
We need this everywhere.
Because... Nobody is saying that they're talking to God? You can hate religion all you want but that's just a strawman. If you find someone saying "God directly told me xyz" you can call them insane all you want.
Nobody is saying that they’re talking to God?
I've heard many Christians say they are.
If this isn't some weird militant atheist misinterpretation of things... Then yeah they're insane no two ways about it.
It's not and they're not (necessarily). Plenty of Christians misinterpret their inner voice as being god. You know how they're always going on about having a personal relationship with him? Kinda hard to do that without him "talking" to them.
I've never been to America or other Western countries so I'll have to take your word for it but okay. I mean my country has Christians too but they don't do... That.
Ah, that makes sense. Yes, the US does have an especially large number of Christians who practice it that way, particularly the Evangelicals.
Poor child. She never had a chance.
Good. Ignorance is fine if you're just ignorant and that's it, but there have to be consequences when you hurt somebody.
Trump will pardon them
This is in Australia
"Australia is my favoritest US state. It's so bigly yuge. It was really sad when the Democrats used their woke agenda to kill the biologist known as the 'Alligator Humper.' As my good friend - also killed by woke DEI- Hannibal Lecter told me, Steve Rogers was one of Australias greatest people. Along with Mozart. He wrote a beautiful musical about pan flutes."
So what? Trump will annex Australia because every Australian wants that and then will pardon them.
Doesn't mean he won't try LMAO
give it time.. we're gonna need a lot more prison space. like whole penal colonies, even. lord diaper likes the idea of invading friendly island nations, what's another?
He'll still try, and fox will talk about disloyal australians. And then everybody can laugh at them.
This is in Australia.
But does the orange idiot know that?
if you moved australia and new zealand to the south atlantic on a map, mr 'dumbest goddamn student i ever had' wouldn't even know it was wrong.
