(3,660 posts)49. Agreed there. But then I never made that claim did I?
She is a deluded idiot however, or do you find her claims credible?
She should be treated as a deluded idiot, as should anyone who makes such patently absurd claims of magical murder, or do you find her attitude either believable or laudable?
People who do seek a US theocracy should likewise be treated when they make deluded and idiotic statements, or do you either believe no one wants theocracy in the US or that they are not deluded idiots?
Those are my opinions clearly stated. I wonder if you could share yours equally clearly about the truth, laudability and desirability of either her statements or theocracy in the US, or both? I bet not.

She willfully, out of self-protection asked God to save her even if it causes other deaths.

So basically she asked God to flatten somebody else's house with a tornado?

I would hope the surviving familys who were not so lucky could have a case to sue her.

Sounds like the curses, spells and other magical junk of many other religions/cults, doesn't it? n/t
