Kansas mom stabs son to death while he sleeps: It’s ‘better for him to go to heaven tonight’

A Kansas mother has been charged with the chilling death of her 10-year-old son, who she allegedly stabbed to death while he was sleeping because she thought he would be better off in heaven.

Read the link for details. I'm not going to post any more of it because I'm sure it really had nothing to do with her religious beliefs. Nothing at all.

“There’s no doubt in my military mind that my son would be alive and well today if The State of Kansas would have given a ****,” he added. “There’s no doubt.”


I wonder if the investigation would have gone forward if Gov. Brownback hadn't put Kansas a quarter-billion-dollars in debt.

3. Funny thing, most of them see suicide as an unforgivable sin.

But killing their own kids is a-ok.


It's some fucked up shit, is what it is, and religion can be found in the root cause.

4. Seems rational to me, once you've accepted on faith that heaven exists

Plus that would also increase sleep safety, which you seem very concerned about. You know you have an atheist sized hole in your heart, you know you're just scared to admit that your beliefs are all ridiculous horseshit from a long gone era. C'mon over. All are welcome. Well not Penn Gillette so much, not here anyway, and certainly not that miserable asshole Sippy Cup, so I'll revise that Most Are Welcome, as long as you aren't an obvious rightwing jerk.

it would seem rational to murder people in their sleep not me. Food for thought.

It wouldn't fit your agenda to post the possible mental illness her husband thinks she may suffer from. Better to warp and twist the story than just go with the truth.

8. Your suggestion is as laughable as intimating the invasion of the Ukraine was an act of religion.
