Parents Charged in Beating Death of Son at Church

Manslaughter, Murder. Whatever.
Chances are they'll die in prison. Parents who kill their kids don't last long.

Thanks. Old one gave kinda the wrong impression of me. This one is more my "common look", especially now that my hair is so big into the Afro-esque "transitional phase" that I have to go through before it gets long enough that gravity overcomes the natural springiness and I get the "doll curls" type of long hair.

Since I work on motorcycles, it's important that I not look too  "clean-cut", or no one will take me seriously as a designer. Hehe.

the other one was fine, too, but I like this one better.

Quote:NEW HARTFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Two teenage brothers were brutally beaten in church — one fatally — in an effort by their parents, sister and other members to get them to confess their sins, police said Wednesday in a case involving what neighbors described as an insular congregation that didn't let its children out to play.

Police said spiritual "counseling" at the Word of Life church turned into an hours-long attack Sunday night in which Lucas Leonard, 19, and his 17-year-old brother, Christopher, were pummeled with fists, authorities said. They suffered injuries to the abdomen, genitals, back and thighs. Eventually, Lucas stopped breathing and relatives took him early Monday to a hospital, where he died, police said. Authorities went to the church and found his younger brother, who was hospitalized in serious condition.

The system is obviously denying the parents' religious rights in violation of the First Amendment. Now if the parents had stoned the kids then the State wouldn't have a case at all.

According to the fairy tale it's OK for the parents to eat the rug rats so it must be OK to kill them.

Apparently it is now coming to light that the reason for the beating was because these youths wanted to leave the fold.

I'm beginning to consider the idea of setting up some sort of non-profit organization, some day, to specifically help, in various ways, people who face struggles as a result of choosing to leave various strident religious communities, who need assistance in finding their way in secular society...be it Muslim apostates fleeing in fear of their families or Imams, young girls fleeing sequestered polygamous Mormon communities, Amish youths unacquainted with modern technology or struggling with their conflicts over what they've been raised to believe, people trying to cope with their family members being compromised by the church of Scientology, smaller cults like this looney bin of a church who thinks beating teens to death is God's Will, or just ordinary teens who don't know how to deal with it when their parents fly off the handle because their kids simply reject the Church.

I agree with you.  I think it is silly to say that religion does not hurt others.  Beliefs affect actions, and actions affect others.  There is no getting around those facts.

This case is just another in a depressingly long, long, LONG line of similar cases.

There is no upside to putting aside one's rational mind and significant downside.

We occasionally get the theist making the claim, "what's the harm?"

Here's the harm.

Is there a database of religiously-motivated crime?
