Is this the woman's defense or the lawyer's defense? I think most likely it is the lawyer's defense. I don't really think this has anything to do with the Bible. I think the correct question would be: what does the lawyer think he is doing?

Haynes said Schlosser was mentally ill at the time. No kidding.

To become a disciple of Jesus, a person must obey the very beginning principles that Jesus commanded. First, a person must be born again. Following the born-again experience, a person must be baptized in water by immersion and baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. Wonderful. Another excuse to smear pentecostals. [/sarcasm]

My question is, if that scripture led her to do it, why didn't she cut off her own arm. The baby was innocent...

The Bible passage refers to a comparison, and to individual choice. Just as an infant has committed no atrocity to deserve to be killed inside the womb, likewise outside. This mother should be locked up.
To: RightWingAtheist
Less likely, Mohammad was a military leader, Jesus was the antithesis of a military leader. Plus, the cutting off of peoples limbs is QUITE contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
The religions are night and day. The quote from the Bible that is on this thread has refuted her claim.
Christianity clearly blunts the violent tendencies of a society (see Vikings or Germanic Tribes). Islam clearly increases them.

Speaking of Andrea, whadaya think about her appeal?

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the turnip that is in thine own? ;)

You are right.
It won't matter that you are correct, and that you know from personal experience, to some on this forum.
It matters to me.
Thank you.
To: Xenalyte
I think it's pretty weak. They are basing it essentially on one false statement made by a prosecution witness out of thousands, and on something that wouldn't have impressed me in the least as a juror or judge.
There's no interest in Texas in retrying this case, nor any compelling legal reason to require it.
When the political reasons and the legal reasons align, it's usually a slam dunk.

The radio newscasters were spinning it like this is the crucial point on which the case hinged, that the jurors mostly decided she planned it based on a "Law and Order" episode that never aired. It sounded a little weak to me.

The image of a turnip in someone's eye was just too evocative for me to pass up. Talk about a great visual!

Nope. First of all, she doesn't understand what the Bible is saying. But putting that aside, the passage certainly was not referring to taking action against other people. So, if she really believed that then she should have cut off her own hand not someone else's.
To: Prime Choice; yonif
Wrong. Insanity drove the mother to do it. She's just using the Bible as an excuse. I think there's more than that. I have a feeling that the leftist media is using this tragedy to make all religious people look like lunatics.

Just a minister. This isn't his fault. Just like it's not the bible's fault. The woman is obviously insane. Any woman who cuts off her child's arms has got to be insane. There is no other option. That poor child.
