So the fundies rear their ugly heads once again…read before you thumb this down please….why is it so many.?
pastors, priests, etc….kill children? in PA on christmas day yet. A pastor shot one of his families young kids at DINNER of all places. 12 families had come together to be united for that holiday. What drives the uber-religious to do these things? Everyone must remember the man in PA who shot all of those very very young school girls in the Amish school house, and let the boys and adults go. What is this about? why does religion breed pain for children so easily? I want a real psychological answer if anyone can get me on.
Now before you go saying I am ignorant or anything of that nature I come from a strict religious family on my mothers side. and both of my parents went to roman catholic church for schooling. both were beaten repeatedly growing up. I have seen so much violence upon children by fundamentalists of all religions that I have to wonder if the religion is part of the problem here.
I have also served in the military to uphold your religious beliefs and am not one to take anyone’s beliefs from them.
It was on the PA news this morning I have no link.
merry he was AMISH that along is fundamentalist mentality in an extreme!
gee first page I turned to got me a link
http://www.action3news.com/global/story. asp?s=11732400
you check the story I gave you a link
cajun I’ve studied this stuff most of my life so don’t go calling me sad. You are just uninformed and apparently slow on the uptake
I will accept the correction for the man in the Amish schoolhouse as being true. but, odd place for a person who’s not Amish to be teaching. I assume he was raised by some serious religious people. Now that is an assumption I don’t know his parents.
thank you for providing another link on this. He could have just shot him in the leg, why the chest! I’m agnostic/military and I am taught to shoot mostly to maim first, not kill unless there’s a target that must be down completely.
(((((T))))) long time no see
that is a fantastically written answer. I agree abnormal psychology twisted with major restrictions does breed seriously violent outward behavior.
Ok another example for the simplistically minded people who don’t read news or study about this sort of thing like I do.
What about the kids in those cults that were molested. We are talking hundreds here, not one or two or even 10.


(((W.S.)))

its hard to generalize with any real accuracy on something like this …or maybe it just hard for me right now lol… but in general strict moral codes like that, especially when institutionalized, breeds repression in people. also, western religions (in particular) tend to create up-down lineal thinking that makes people feel they are in the proverbial pecking order. if you put those two things together, repression (where some needs are not being met and emotions are being preasureized with no release) and the establishment of a hierarchy, you tend to get one of two reactions whenever someone cant cope with it: most likely, theyll take out their own issues on someone that they feel is lower then them in that hierarchy (like a child) or you’ll get someone lashing out at people they feel (correctly or not) have been contributing to their strife (like a sexually repressed man ‘revenging’ himself on random women that symbolically represent his failures with other women).
hope that helps, and hopefully some other answers come along with more info because admittedly theres a lot missing from mine.

You may wish to check your stories.

I am unfamiliar with the first you cite and would like to see some details. The Amish killer was NOT a pastor or a priest.

While much violence has been done by man in the name of religion, much as been done by man in the name of anti-religion as well. The common link is man can be very violent.

Mmm. Because non-religious people never hurt children….

Do you believe this is consistent with the teachings of Christ? If not, it would be appropriate to note that these are actions of misguided people.

Religion breeds extremism in some, even to the point where one’s children are not as important as the beliefs.

All depends on the mentality of the individual I guess.

Though she is dead Cynthia continues to haunt Street’s thoughts. In spite of one successful novel after another, Street feels he has compromised his talent to ensure the success of his books, making him a failure in his eyes.

Strange question about music.?
This might seem a little strange, but can any of you think of any German songs that use the word prophezeiung in it other than Das Omen by E Nomine?


E Nomine actually use the word in more than one of their songs. It can also be found in Jack Slater’s "Zerschmetterling".
