I know the Bible.



Apparently not well enough. You are the one who wrote:

"I think her husband was just as much to blame as she was. After all the husband is the head of the home as Christ is the Church. And women are to submit."

Nowhere does the Bible say that women are to submit to a self centered lunatic like her husband. He neither protected nor respected her or his kids by his inactions. He is not the husband that St. Paul talks about being the "head"

Do you mind if I interject something?

the Bible doesn't really give us a choice about submission. We should.

And the husband who does not fulfill his duty does not let us off the hook for neglecting ours.

Andrea Yates was a lunatic long before Rusty ever came on the scene. He is Church of Christ BTW.

BTW, he found another woman to marry.
