    I think someone who would do that deserves the ancient form of being drawn and quartered.

    The person is first hanged, but not to death. They are cut down before they pass out, and then one of the king's men would use excellent skill and a sharp blade to cut them open, remove their bowels and the person is made to watch them burn their bowels completely before the person is sliced into four segments with the head removed to be placed on display for all to see and loathe.

    I think this form of punishment is by far the greatest of the times. The king's men have such skill that while they are removing the bowels of the person, they hit no major artery etc... to ensure that the person remain alive for the rest.

    This is about the only thing that anyone should recieve for something of this magnitude and quite fitting...they can smell their own self burning as the baby did.

    Good day to you all~

    Well, things like this make my blood boil! Satan didn't do sh*t! Just like that crazy broad who drowned the five kids in the bathtub, the devil made her do it too. Don't forget the poor individuals whose mommy didn't love them enough. I worked for a criminal defense attorney for too many years. These people are full of it and so are their lawyers.

    The justice system needs some reorganizing and some people who can think logically. It is a travesty that the victims will get no justice just because these animals can say "the devil made me do it." And take note, most of these people who the devil spoke to claim to be "born again" or Christian. I thought Jesus was supposed to be more powerful. But that's okay, they can be reborn in prison, everyone does nowadays.

    Grrrr...I would like to get my hands on the individual. My belief is once proven guilty, let the punishment fit the crime. I am sick of housing animals on hard earned taxpayer dollars.

    Wake up already people, something needs to be done.

    I have a big problem with people who pull the "the devil made me do it" excuse. It makes Christians look so bad. I remember when Andrea Yates pulled that crap as well...and the a month later there was a second mother who stoned her kids to death who claimed the same thing...these people are mentally ill and need to be locked away in a looney bin if they really feel like the devil made them do it...that's not to say that Satan couldn't influence their thoughts in some way...but I think Satan has slightly more sophisicated tactics these days...

    The only Satan I know in Texas is Bush (just kidding!:-) but seriously, I don't think people can blame things on "Satan made me do it" I think that is as lame as "the dog ate my homework" I do believe there are temptations put in front of us to test us, but at the end of the day we all have that beautiful thing called FREE WILL! People need to own up to their responsibilities!

    It's the age old excuse. My husband can't be bad because he's a christian, so satan must have made him do it. Just another christian cop out for those who won't take responsibilty for their own actions.

    It's because atheists are willing to accept that they are the ones who run their own lives, and they are the ones who do either good or bad and have to accept the consequences of their own actions, that puts atheists on a higher moral level than any theists.

    Atheism. You know it makes sense.

    Sounds like yet another mental illness has been blames on Satan instead of see it for what it is. Its sad how people can't face reality at times.

    Ok, here's the deal. Satan cannot control people. He can tempt and persuade people to do things, but he has no physical control (unless the person allows it).

    One of many stupid people taking up space in Texas. If only we could all be sane... what a pipe dream. lol

  • Either a sickness, or just a twisted evil individual that is what I feel.

    It is called displacement. She tries to justify her action by putting blame on her husband. Old trick.
