NEWS: Couple Plans to Sacrifice Children for Jesus

CULTURE: Couple Planned to Sacrifice Children for Jesus

A New Hampshire couple was arrested on Wednesday at a Rochester church after people overheard the woman's plan to sacrifice her children at the altar.

On Friday, Nicole Mancini and her boyfriend were arraigned on three counts each of child endangerment-- in this case, these are misdemeanor offenses. The boyfriend, John Thurber, also faces drug possession charges.

The three children, ranging in age from 2 to 9, were not injured and have since been placed in state custody. Their mother has been ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

You know, no harm apart from the whole killing them part.

that's some creative thinking to weasel yourself out of christianity.

Having until very recently been a resident of New Hampshire, I can tell you this is in no way typical of the state; though Rochester is sort of a strange place. Lyndon LaRoche was born there I believe.

way to go new hampshire!!
you freaks.

Right ... because killing your kid has no place in Christianity.

Well, there is biblical precedent....Genesis 22, the whole sacrificing Isaac business...

In fact there are a lot of things in the Bible that would warrant the intervention of Social Services

Yeah! I mean, you didn't see God sacrifice HIS kid... Oh wait.

Yeah, but God changed his mind at the end, and just took Abrahams foreskin instead. Oddball.

Ha!

Crazy Woman, this is Jesus.



Jesus, Crazy Woman.

Sure, pending she hasn't read the New Testament.

It's possible...

The Bible: Choose Your Own Adventure. Pick the pages YOU want to read.

that is AWESOME. but.....did we not read the bible, didn't god STOP abraham from killing his kid????

i love the bible, i mean, if your going to re-enact something, theres lots of crazy sex, and stuff that happened that detail wasn't put into the text.

like mary magdaline. man, re-enact that stuff.

maybe she thought he would intervene in this case as well?

now that would make some news!

Well, God asked Abraham to kill Isacc, then at the last second revealed that it was only a test, and instead took Abraham's foreskin, and the foreskin of all Jews after, as a sign of their covenant.

I love you.

Glad to see the South doesn't have a monopoly on batshit crazy religious nutballs after all.

Exactly.

.....ewwww.... foreskin....

worked for me.

yeah, i'm pretty sure this was NOT what jesus meant by "suffer the little children"..

I thought it was because they lived in a very hot, dry climate, and a circumcision would help with cleanliness. I mean, I can understand how it became "a sign of the covenant" to tie it in with the religion, but weren't the original reasons for circumcision and not eating pork the fact they lived in a hot, dry area?

This is a serious question. I'm not debating or anything.

There isn't a clear answer on this one, afaik. The truth is that a lot of religious practices are designed simply to give a group of people a common identity - to seperate themselves from others. Supposedly the not-eating-pork thing isn't really related to any practical reason other that it being different from what gentiles did.

An atheist would never do a thing like that…
