    Two years after her body was found by police on the altar of a Pentecostal church in San Jose, California, authorities have still to decide whether her killers will stand trial.

    Yo what the fuck? This should have been an easy-ass decision.

        You know what the founding principle of America is: “Unification of god and State, in god we trust, we are a christian nation, christian leaders tell us what to do.”

        Don’t believe the Church of Satan when they tell you that this nation was actually founded by christian extremists who were escaping the Church of England, so even being christian extremists, they had the self awareness to go on to keep a firm line of “we have our strict christian values, but this land shall not be dominated by our religious ideals. People in this land shall enjoy a government that operates freely from religious control, and we can peacefully let others practice or not practice as they wish while we enjoy the benefit of practicing our own beliefs with civil relation with all other inhabitants of this beautiful and free land.”

          So are you saying we shouldn’t hold the religious people accountable for murdering a child?

            I’m pretty sure the first paragraph is /s material while (at least the second half of) the second paragraph is straight-up facts.

              Practicing as they wish resulted in the death of a child. How far are we going to let religious freedom trump law?

                Maybe I cometely missed the tone in the post referenced. I genuinely thought OP was sarcastically explaining the origin of acceptance of extremism in US religion. Loss of context in the limited medium of text.

                Make no mistake - these people are fucked in the head, should be tried (the right to a speedy trial should have been applied years ago), and when (hopefully) convicted, should get absolutely nuked from orbit.

                Anyone’s claim to practice religion (which doesn’t include child abuse, human abuse, animal abuse, or fucking murder) or to not is their business - until they force that with harm on another. (with the understanding that parents brainwashing their kids is currently acceptable, and my biases are my own). Kind of a: “your right to swing your fist ends where my face begins” thing.

                So, to summarize: while I don’t necessarily agree with prison violence and ‘eye-for-an-eye’ justice, these people can get fucked with a rake. And my heart weeps for that dear child.
