Yet a prosecutor told jurors that Anthony Hopkins terrorized his wife and young children, isolated them and used the Bible to manipulate them.

“I always question statements like this.

Sorry, but there is always responsibility for those being manipulated unless they are as dumb as dirt.”

<MY Apologies if I got your statement wrong. Maybe you got YOUR nose in the dirt.
Don’t you realize there are millions of DEAD people around the world because of SCUMBAGS that HIDE behind the skirts of the church????
It seems Like every SINNER goes to church and it does not help the church when THOSE sinners act against THE Church for their personal gain.

Every Minute there is a person who will violate his/HER family or friends just to get ahead no matter what. I guess that is the kind of person this Anthony Hopkins is. Unless you can prove otherwise. We’d like to know here on FR.
Sorry Nothing Personal.
I am not for or against the church.

Sure, nothing personal at all, Ha!

Let me explain...

It goes to personal responsibility and the press with a sensational story.

It's not that this guy is not a monster, he is, and should be put to death as far as I am concerned.

My point is a finer one.

Too often in our permissive society, it is way to easy to take away our own responsibility for doing the right thing.

And the press likes to do that in spades.

I don't know the details of the wife, and she sure didn't deserve to die, but the writer of this article seems to think that he/she can pass of the ability to manipulate using the Bible as all powerful and that this was the cause (highly exaggerated) of his power over his family.

As I posted before, unless they were very ignorant, and quite frankly, of a very low IQ or suffering from some other type of emotional problem(s), this could not be the case. The bible was written in a simple manner for all men to read and understand, so I, or anyone else, cannot be manipulated if I have a modicum of intelligence, unless I give up some of my own personal responsibility to read the bible and understand it.

I hope that helps you understand my position.

It was more of a general post against bad-journalism, then any comment on the facts of the deplorable situation.
