In the past few years how many atheists did something similar to what these theists did?
Q. Andrea Yates, Houston Texas, 2001. Drowned her 5 children. The reason she gave was that her children weren t righteous and were doomed to Hell. Dena Schlosser, Plano Texas, 2004. Amputated her baby's arms with a knife and offered her to God, as she believed God had commanded her to do. Blaine Milam & Jessica Carson, Rusk County Texas, 2008. Told police Carson s 13 month old daughter was possessed and they tried to exorcize the demons out of her by beating her with a hammer and biting her. It may have been successful, as the autopsy did not reveal any demons. Jan David Clark, Odessa Texas, 2008. Said he was holding his 59 year-old wife face-down on the floor during an exorcism when the devil entered his body and caused her to die. Otty… [cont.]

A. To be fair to theists, it sounds like some of these had mental health problems -other than their irrational beliefs that is. Yates, Schlosser, Sanchez, Moore and Piersee all sound potentially schizophrenic/some such thing. What I've never understood though is why religious people couldn't believe that some god or whatever had given them medicine and use it.

The Right To Defend?
Q. As the brother of the taxi cab driver Fadee Aktab that was killed today in Dallas, Texas I would like to address the issue of crime in the streets of Dallas and other cities in this country. I have spent 30 years as a member of the armed forces, U S Army (ret). I have been to many other countries and the US is becoming a battlefield itself. I had told my brother to be careful because of the crime in the streets. He was only trying to be a father and a good husband providing for his family. I am a long haul over the road truck driver and find myself in danger as well. Question why is it a law that a driver cannot carry a weapon to protect himself because of motor regulations. If my brother had been carrying a legal weapon he my have been… [cont.]

A. Because of the practice of our government to treat every problem that the citizens have as if they are children, and the government is the "parent". What I mean to say is when one person ( A driver of a truck or other vehicle) uses a gun out of...for example: road rage, the government punishes the whole population because of the individual. That is on MOST things. Take the seatbelt laws for instance. Children on school buses are not required to wear them because it would not be cost effective...LOL. So the children are exempt. Or if someone uses a vehicle to run over someone and kill them, you don't see a law passed to take away vehicles from people because it would hurt the economy. It's all about money and control. When I was 14 I… [cont.]

Why do people think that it's okay to hurt cats? Why don't they stop people that hurt animals?

A. People think it is okay to hurt animals in general because they are "just animals" which is absolute bullcrud. We need to raise the penalties for animal abuse, endangerment, and neglect. From the information provided, I do want to mention that I think the person that shot the cat and the owner of the cat should both be punished, because if the cat was inside, he would not have been in the position to be shot. The ASPCA is also working to increase penalties for animal related crimes, hopefully making these instances felanies.
