Why kill the innocent children ?I don't think i'll ever understand.

[SamAdams76]

These people are so consumed with hate for their spouse that they would kill their own children to guarantee that they never end up with her or her family. I'll never understand it either and I'm glad I have a marriage that is happy and stable. I know people who have had bad marriages and it fills them with hate and makes them do crazy things.

"'He was not mad at the kids,' Etowah County Sheriff James Hayes said. 'He just wanted to take away from his wife everything she had ever cared for.'

Krost also decapitated all six family pets two dogs, three cats and an albino boa constrictor, Hayes said."

It may seem a bit of a stretch, but this is why I think religion is necessary [remebering that 'religion' also originated outside the Mid-East]. Bear with me.

A valid and functional religion teaches us that:
* Life is a blessing.
* We are each responsible for our actions
* We each have a stake in the world that we leave behind

If that cretin knew that he would not escape the consequences of what he did by offing himself, who knows? I do concede that some people just don't care and are evil a*holes.

There are those who are so self-absorbed that they believe if they can't have what they want, then nobody else can either, so they destroy. Curse them.
