If she was truly schizophrenic, almost anything could have set her off.

If she wasn't...the usual suspects in the hellfire & brimstone community have a lot to answer for.

It's been a cliche of Christian radio for the past 30 years that "We are living in the End Times."

Aren't the End Times supposed to END at some time?

Oddly enough, if you look into the history of women who kill their children like this, you often find what is termed "an excess of religious zeal," along with underlying mental disorders.

I can see that as a possibility here. The A of G churches tend to be preachers of doom, for sure, with Armageddon just around the corner at all times. A mentally-ill person can easily take such preachings to heart and do something that, in their minds, would "spare their children."

While I do not know the details of this case yet, I'd be willing to bet that something on that order is involved here, and it's so sad. Perhaps with appropriate medication, these children would still be alive. If that's the case, then it's a double tragedy.
