I find this very disturbing!
That in this day and age that some people still see some illness as the devils work..

All i can say is poor kid and i hope all involved go down for murder!!!

Religious people are some of the most ignorant on the planet, unfortunately. Everything is either evil or good, to them, and "god" is the cure for evil.

NO man im religious and thats not how we see it everything is just not good and bad and Yes God is the answer he works mysteriously

People who take take there faith as an aliby for murder should get the electric chair, there was no need for this to ever of happened! Anybody who had half an ounce of sence would know that he wasn't possesed

These people should defiantely be held responsible for their actions! That is soooo lame! How can people be so gullible and insensible?

-JAH

This is just another example of why I believe Organized religion is evil and brings nothing but suffering, fear, and death to people.

How true!!!
Just seems it causes more problems ...
i mean look at most wars it all about religion
(That is just a personal opinion)
sorry if i offend anyone
feel free to correct me!!!

nice to see someone agrees with me! Who needs religion anyways!? Most religions are just a way to get power.

When people tell me they speak to god, I call them crazy. When they tell me god speaks to them, I tell them to seek professional help. If the voice in your head isn't yours, you have severe mental illness.

Any carpet statement about 'religious people' is itself ignorant. It denies, in its construction, the fact that the clerics in every religion ARE NOT the same.

In the case in question, the minister was practicing from a church he set-up in a shopping strip. He was a member of a denominatyion which does not require a degree from an accredited university/college/seminary to achieve ordaination. He was also not a minister in a 'main line' religion.

In reality, however, clergy from the main christian denominations, on average, are better educated than people in most other job areas. There are orders within the Catholic church, for instance, wherein the members spend their entire life earnings degrees and passing that information on to other people. In fact, many Catholic clergymen I know could turn the arguments of the 'scientific' people on this forum into swiss cheese.

So, before you condemn all clergy because of one guy in a poor neighborhood who invented his own church, you had better pay attention to the millions across the world who are members of educational orders.

that is so sad...ministers are sopose to be someone to go to when you have a problem...apperantly not.
