Happened to a couple of teens, who stabbed their classmate due to Slenderman's instructions. They were institutionalized until they were fit for trial.
Yet the evangelicals who come to my door are perfectly sane? WTF?
Disappointing theists since 1968!

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
