They say Bushey told them demons were making it appear that Middlesworth was dead, and that if her death was discovered, the children would be sent to public school and be forced to get jobs.


The article reads as if it should be on The Onion. I wonder if mental illness is at play.

Suicidal Writer: I wonder if mental illness is at play.

There is. It's called "religion."

*logs off due to end of nightshift*

C).

Religion is a mental illness? Not quite. Yes it's illogical but not everyone's Spock.

What was A) and B) ?

Gobobo: Religion is a mental illness? Not quite. Yes it's illogical but not everyone's Spock.

When people seriously say that it's a mental illness, they are usually pointing out that when a single person or small group of people do the same thing or similar things as the religious they are considered mentally ill or as a cult.

What do you say to someone that honestly believes that hell exists and people that don't believe in the "right" things will be sent there to suffer? As I've grown older, I discovered it was never the belief that revealed the person. It was the fact that they believed it and still chose to side with the perpetrator of a cosmic holocaust. Ideas have consequences.

One of the common definitions of mental illness is that it's supposed to somehow affect quality of life. That's a bit iffy when the power in society rests with a group that may be mentally ill (not saying they are) and, therefore, define normalcy.

All of the above.

Sounds like these folk got their Faulkner mixed up with their Monty Python.

Well, it was her time to go, I guess.

I'm not dead yet.
Seriously, I'm getting better.
I don't want to go on the cart.

She's not quite dead?

They say Bushey told them demons were making it appear that Middlesworth was dead, and that if her death was discovered, the children would be sent to public school and be forced to get jobs.

No, demons were making it appear that Middlesworth was alive.

Grandma trifecta in play?

I've been waiting for a while to use this one.



keyboarderror: Well, it was her time to go, I guess.

/I lol'd

Did you see what god just did to us man?
God didn't do it, you did it. You're a farkin narcotics agent, I knew it!

A grandma trifecta for mother's day?

"It makes no sense to me and I'm getting out! I'm alive and I want to remain with the living. And when I'm dead, I'll want to remain with the dead. I hope that's clear."

Sgt Otter: What was A) and B) ?

A) Chop her up and feed her to the dog

B) Plasticize her and use her as a very elaborate toilet paper holder

Im Lazarus and im getting a kick........meh... you'r doing it wrong!

keyboarderror: Well, it was her time to go, I guess.

You owe my company one keyboard AND one LCD monitor.

A man, woman and two teenage children apparently shared a house [...]

The deputy ordered Lewis to take both of her children, ages 12 and 15, out of the house, due to the smell.
Police also interviewed the teenagers


twelveteen?
/"You keep using that word..."

TFA: At least one of the adults in the house insisted the dead woman inside wasn't "fully dead," and that they could pray her back to life.

She was only MOSTLY dead.

Where is the part where they were still cashing her checks?

Religion brings out all sorts of crazy all over the world.

LOL 12.fl.oz, now add "and forgot to fall over" to the end.

I LOL'd at Peter Bushey....

HoneyDog: LOL 12.fl.oz, now add "and forgot to fall over" to the end.

50 points!

There is a whole lot of crazy in there...

I admire people for having faith, it's not the easiest thing to do with your spare (ie not working) time. I'm guessing the thoughts that this time on Earth is all they've got before becoming nothing but plant nutrients, and that they battled with millions of other sperm to impregnate that egg are too much for them to handle, so accepting a philosophy like religion helps them get through their days.

I totally agree that many of those in power are mentally ill, some of the stuff you hear about them is weird, weirder still is that this sort of stuff is mundane and usual to them.

Pray'n solves everything.

roadkillontheweb: Where is the part where they were still cashing her checks?

That's the first thing I thought of, too. Those bastards.

Son of Thunder: TFA: At least one of the adults in the house insisted the dead woman inside wasn't "fully dead," and that they could pray her back to life.

I came for the Princess Bride references. I was not disappointed.

Carotid: Religion brings out all sorts of crazy all over the world.

No, crazy people are crazy about everything they do. If they're religious, they're crazy religious; if they're atheist, they're crazy atheist.

/'cuz they're crazy.
//it's the "crazy" part that matters, not the "religious."

keyboarderror: Well, it was her time to go, I guess.

Six pounds of win.

Waffle of Justice: There is a whole lot of crazy in there...

now give 'em the crazy eyes!

nashBridges: Suicidal Writer: What do you say to someone that honestly believes that hell exists and people that don't believe in the "right" things will be sent there to suffer?

Why say anything? More importantly, why does it even matter to you?

I've never had a problem with the religious, the non-religious, and everybody else in between BECAUSE I DON'T FARKING CARE.

Seems to me more than a few farkers would lead happier lives if they followed the same path.

Ooooh, that's good stuff.

12.fl.oz.: Who used the bathroom last? Turn on the damn exhaust fan, it smells like somebody died in there.

HoneyDog: LOL 12.fl.oz, now add "and forgot to fall over" to the end.

*sniff* I love you guys so much.

No?

Bring out your dead.

Whew! I saw the Kare 11 and was shocked that this would happen in Minnesota. Then I saw it was Wisconsin, and it all made sense...

To the tune of "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer"

Prop up your dead Granny on the potty
Even though I know you want to grieve
You can say there's no such thing as Jesus
But as for me and Bishop, we believe.

She'd been getting pretty ancient
Still, she was so very dear
She forgot her medication
And she putrified and liquified that year


Prop up your dead Granny on the potty
Even though I know you want to grieve

Help me out here, folks!

Dead grandma propping?



Approves.

When we found her Christmas mornin,'
Curled up from a heart attack.
She had voided in her panties,
And skid marks running up and down her back.

You misspelled "summon Bevets," asshat.

"Prop me up beside the poop box when I diiiieee...."

I am so terribly sorry, it just jumped into my brain and wouldn't leave.

Ni!: "Prop me up beside the poop box when I diiiieee...."

That's good! Get to work and finish it.

That's good! Get to work and finish it.

Can't. Drugs. You rawk at it, have at!

You better bury Grandma right! Better not go cuttin' up, nor otherwise harm no whores. Or I'll come back and kill every one of you sons-o-biatches.

Ni!: That's good! Get to work and finish it.
