Deanna Laney heard God speak. He told her the end was near and that she was to prove her faith in Him. He told her to kill her sons in and Abraham-like manner. Unlike with Abraham he didn't step in at the last minute, he didn't supply a sacrificial goat. Two of her sons ended up being stoned to death and the third seriously injured.
After being arrested and brought to justice, she has been called delusional. Why did believers not clamour in her support? Is this public humiliation punishment for not finishing the job she was commanded to or is this yet more proof that anyone who "Hears God speak" should first check with a psychologist before acting on the commands from above?
Clearly there is a biblical precedent that God commands his faithful to kill their offspring, how could Deanna know the difference between hearing God and her delusions?
