Teenage babysitter gets messages from tv show & stabs child he believes is Judas Iscariot, religion to blame?

If the babysitter had stabbed the child because he believed the child to be the reincarnation of Isaac Newton, would science be to blame?

Perhaps a commentary on our Bibleless culture that no-one's so far mentioned Daniel... Seems an obvious reference - rather like the snake-handlers 'following' Mark 16:18. A sad case of putting God to the test. Now if he'd been thrown in...

I'm confused, is this guy a member of the church or is he simply a crazed homeless guy living in his van?\n\nLook, I dont know, im really bad at this "subtle revenge" thing.\nYoure trying to avoid his "conversion"? Tell him youre gay. Christians hate gays.\n\n:UPDATE:\nBut whats his prime objective in watching you and your friends? Is he trying to turn your friends into members? What does he want from you? Figure out what it is he wants, once you have the right question than you can get the right answer.\n\nALSO\nIs he clean cut? or very ragged and shabby looking? Do you get the impression that hes been using drugs?\n\nO, in that case youre dealing with a sociopath. Well, if he has threatened you than a restraining order will be easy to get. It might be best if you beat him at his own game, I wouldnt damage his car or fuck with his property as it might just escalate into something you could regret later. You gotta beat him at his own game, recruit some friends to confront this asshole.

Based on the books in the New Testament, the Jews asked Pilate to release Barabbas, a convicted murderer, (as was the custom for the Roman guard to release any prisoner once a year upon the request of the people) and crucify Jesus Christ. The Gospels state that the Pharisees saw Jesus Christ as a threat to the established religious order as he equated himself with God and rebuked the religious hierarchy and piety of the Jews as displeasing to God, and since he had such a large following of people. So in essence, the New Testament states that the Jewish Religious order plotted against Jesus (hence bribing Judas for a bag of silver to bring Jesus to them). There were obviously Jewish people who did worship Jesus as the Son of God (his disciples, Mary Magdalene, his own mother, etc.) and therefore it is unfair to state that the Bible blames all Jews for the death of Jesus. But Biblical History dictates that it was Jews (meaning the Pharisees and other enemies of Jesus) who conspired to bring about Jesus' death and requested that he be crucified. \n\nHow accurate all of this is historically is almost impossible to verify as almost all evidence is taken from old manuscripts written by the early Christians. Just like any historical story, you need to look at it critically but not dismiss it just because it can't be proven.

That's a very interesting question. I never thought of it that way before. The three patterns that play out with that theory do seem to fit into religions. Makes sense that it would be prevalent in their daily lives also, it's so ingrained to believe they are helpless unless they count on an outside source. Kinda twisted in away...that outside source is what will punish then for not being good enough. I'll say it again.....No child should be afraid of his/her parent.

Good point. This 'good loving god' totally set-up Adam & Eve, then blamed THEM for it. It would be like putting crack cocaine in a cookie jar, telling your kids never to eat it, then releasing a clever drug dealer who would try to convince them otherwise.\n\nWhat a silly story, and you're a BAD EVIL GOOD FOR NOTHING ANGRY SPITEFUL VENGANT MONSTER!!!!\n\nNothing more.

I think that it is the work of seducing spirits of Satan that seek to lead people into making a mockery of the Holy sanctuary as an attempt to defy the living God of Heaven. Undoubtedly those teens are unregenerate souls who have a particular weakness in this area and the evil one is exploiting it. They need prayer and conversion, not condemnation.

For the first part it is simple ...\nThink about this: we are all God's creation and one way or another we carry on God's will. One of the assets given to us is free-will, the will to do as we choose. God's purpose now is to guide us on the right path, but it is us who must walk it. Judas did not know God's will at the time, it was much later that people were aware of what Jesus' death actually ment.\nThe fact that God intended it doesn't excuse Judas' act. It was Judas' choice to betray his teacher and this alone makes his act evil, just like any treason. God doesn't mind-control anyone. He chose to betray Jesus to the romans, thus he is a traitor and his treachery is ten-fold since we are talking about the Son of God (something Judas really believed or he wouldn't be an Apostle).\nAlso the fact that he's a traitor doesn't mean christians should hold a grudge against Judas. After all, he was forgiven for his actions did lead on the right path.\n\nAs for the accusations against the Jews, whatever they had done then, it's all done and it subscribes to the same things I've said above.

I did see this very disturbing show, so sad. I think the guy is definitely GUILTY!!  It was obvious, his body language, how it took so long to answer questions, trying to set the stage for excuses; lie detectors aren't admissible in court, i don't know if maybe i could have been sleep walking, etc....GIVE ME A BREAK!!  I believe the poor little baby girl, she said too much to be making it up.  One more thing...the mother wanted him to be a part of the girls life (cause the scum wasn't already), but THEN all this happened and now she has to make the poor innocent baby go with her bastard father-makes me vomit!!

Dont be so paranoid...its the religious leaders that r to be blamed for instigating the ppl. I have'nt read any holy book of any religion but im sure that none would preach to hate ppl of other religions. If so then that wouldnt be a religion but a stupid cult.\n\nGo to a school and see this for urself. Kids of different religions play with eachother without any qualms. They are too young to differentiate between religions and hence their minds r pure and not biased.\n\n But once they get some sense.....WHAM !!! the world tells them that other religions r bad. The ignorant believe whatever is said to them....but thr are some who simply laugh at that point of view.\n\nSo u see my fren....not all ppl share the same hateful views towards other religions.

If your talking about the "god" in the answers group he got suspended. If your talking about anyone who says they are god (I won't capitalize because I'm not refering to the real GOD)\nIf they really think they are "Thee GOD" there is something wrong with them and will probably be questioning themselves into the nearest psych ward. I work with SMI (seriously mentally ill) in my line of work and have worked with someone who believes he is on earth as Jesus was, trying to save the world,and he claims (and really believes)he actually saved the world from nuclear war. The last time I talked with him he was pretty frustrated with us all. You can't argue with a delusional person. Does no good. Serves no point. If a person is so ill that they really believe a delusion there is nothing you can say that will convince them otherwise! And they are left to wander around in the world until they are a danger to themselves or others. Many are homeless. It is so very sad. If they don't realize anything is wrong with them, trying to get them to seek help is impossible unless they are court ordered to treatment for being a danger or they commit a crime and help comes that way; but it usually doesn't as jails are crowded with people that should be getting help but aren't.

Who cares?  LEARN TO MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND!!! Can you really believe some kind of harm could, or would ,come from one child talking to another? Learn about other religions and see all the silly little rules they all have.

Indoctrinating and brainwashing children to believe that a god exists to enslave them or send them to Hell to be tortured forever and ever is tantamount to child abuse.

In the sense that most Christians blame Satan for things that go wrong and pray to a deity for things they want, yes, absolutely, it's a childishness. To simply want to "believe" without evidence is another sign of arrested development, as well.
