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

Woman Uses Bible Verses to Ward Off Attacker

Oh shiat! This broad's crazy! Run away! Run away!

Kumana Wanalaia: Woman Uses Bible Verses to Ward Off Attacker

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.

Didn't this happen near Atlanta a few years ago? I know I have heard this story before.

Very common story.
 
2012-02-05 03:38:33 PM
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.

Oh thanks a lot, subby. I've been yelling "The Power of Christ compels you to get the fark out!" at my neighbors all day long and they're still there. I hope it works on the cops.

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.

/what do fundies have against mjolnir and aegishjalmur wearing wenches anyway?
//oh, right. that whole "the Heathens are still alive" thing

Her son.... holy crap. If I were the kid I would at least call the police first and try to figure out a way how to take away harm from mother! What kind of son is he, or did he call the cops but they were on an hour and a half donut break?!

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.

Real Women Drink Akvavit: 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

Mugger pulls a gun on xian, xian says "Jesus forgives you," mugger bolts into the night.

It's almost like you want to believe it could be true.

Bludy Stool, there is NOTHING absurd about the BIBLE. Its about time that people like you to start believing the REAL TRUTH that is the HOLY BIBLE. It is NOT crazy to believe the truth. The BIBLE IS the truth. I will pray for you.

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.

That's awesome and you sound like an awesome, remarkably chill person. Good on you!
 
2012-02-05 05:18:38 PM
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.
