At least she's incompetent too.

"cos she claims god told her tokill her son the christians will all say she's crazy.
But if she had said god had told her to start a new cult they'd be flocking to her banner.
Hmmmmm........

Allow anyones subjective claim from personal revelation, allow them all. Her experience has just as sound a basis as all other experiences.

It cracks me up that believers will disavow themselves from something like this claiming the woman "is obviously crazy". Well, what's the difference between what this woman did and the story of Abraham? Abraham was ready to plunge a knife into his son's chest. Was he also "obviously crazy"? Oh, wait! "God" supposedly told Abraham not to kill his child at the last minute because "God" was just testing Abraham's faith! (Of course, this makes no sense on so many levels. Wouldn't an omnipotent deity already know whether or not Abraham had faith? And what the hell kind of test is this anyway? ("Kill your child! I command you!".... "No! Stop! I was only kidding!")
In any case, how can believers know that "God" didn't really speak to this woman? Maybe this is all part of his plan! I've had conversations with believers who insist that "God" has communicated with them in some way. Well, maybe "God" communicated with this woman. What makes her crazy? Just because she tried to kill her kid? We all know that "God" has no problem killing people. It's amazing that believers will swallow all kinds of tripe such as when some person claims to have spoken with "God", and "God" directed them to kick drugs, stop drinking, etc, etc.... But when someone claims to have spoken with "God", and "God" has told them to do something awful... well, obviously they couldn't have really spoken with "God"! Why the hell not? What makes people believe "God" really spoke to Abraham, but he couldn't possibly have spoken with this woman?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

"Crazy Christian" is redundant.
