She should be locked up for mentally assaulting him. A scratch on the neck doesn't even compare.

No shiat. If I was the attacker and the lady continued with bible verses after having her throat cut, i would have staked her through the heart. WTF.

The order in which these things happened appears illogical. I usually, for instance, feel the need to stab somebody in the throat after they read biblical verses to me.

A "scratch" that took 20-25 stitches and staples to close? He slashed her throat. She's lucky to have survived.

according to the story the 15 year old son hid in the yard for 1 1/2 hours while hearing what was happening. wtf. maybe he was praying to baby jesus for help, 100% stupid, or just huffing paint? sounds more like a ex lovers fight and i'm a bible thumping gal so i'll make up a fairy tale to protect my reputation in the church.

Are we supposed to feel bad about that? The doctors caused her to miss meeting The Babby Jeebus and his Daddy With The Beard Floating On A Cloud.

Also if this method is properly applied there isn't a worry of the attacker losing his faith down the road.

I've had
people
jackasses say "I rebuke you" to me and all it did was send me into hysterical giggles. I had a friend, who happens to be a LaVeyan Satanist, yell "the power of Christ compels you" at me when I was about to sink the 8 ball at our local pool hall/bar. I totally missed because she made me laugh right as I was taking the shot. So it
does
work, just not the way fundies think it does.

Criminals such as home invaders are frequently of below average intelligence, thus they are, on average, more susceptible to religious persuasion.

She reminded him of the humanity he still has left.
Only psychopaths are resistant to having a conscious and those who are religious fanatics.
It is why non-violence has worked so well. It reminds people of their humanity and then they wish to stop.
Lucky for her his religion is Christianity.
But as long as you speak to the truth of the religion a person grew up with, you can be successful in talking down many people from violence.
But not all of them, after that defend yourself or you are committing the sin of letting an amoral person kill you.

I've had people jackasses say "I rebuke you" to me and all it did was send me into hysterical giggles.
A while back I was leaving the mall and a woman, about 60, addressed me as I exited saying that she was trying to get to her church, a couple miles away, etc etc. I said ok, come with me. She made small talk until we got 3/4 of the way there, at which point she started in on the "believe or burn" thing. Now, if anything, I feel an affinity for buddhism (although I'm not a buddhist because I smoke and drink). I walked out on the whole supernatural side of christianity a long time ago. So she's telling me about the smell of burning flesh, etc, and I remained totally polite and nice, and let her out at her church, and for a second after we stopped she kept going on about hell but I politely and happily told her that we were "here" and to have a nice day. That lady was ... I guess flabbergasted is the best word. I lol'd. CSB

She wanted you to fall backwards while twitching and attend church with her or something? Entirely too many American xtian are less than stable. Those mean types also give their entire faith a bad name with their poor behavior. I've been sworn at in the past by one for not being a xtian and I honestly thought he was going to physically assault me.

Well what a dickish move by God. He had the power to stop the attack in the first place but rather she had to get all panicked and call on verses so she doesn't forget who the boss is.
You expect such a move from a pimp, not a omnipresent, immortal being that can do anything.

Yeah. Yet another anecdote for them to harp on because of a weak-willed burglar. Not that he should have succeeded, but it seems he succumbed to the lamest trick the lady could have pulled out.

Yeah. There is something fishy about this story. My guess is that the son attacked her and she is covering for him.
