This lady says her husband didn't put the baby in the microwave; the devil made him do it.
Wow. Xians will go to any lengths to save their precious images. To never take responsibility for anything, but just say "oh, it's satan's work. It's the devil's fault."
I guess if they ever had an ounce of integrity, that would be their own doing? But anything bad -- it's "oh, that's not me. It isn't my fault. Lucifer is to blame for that!"
Ted Haggard, same thing -- "satan" made him lust after gay male masseurs and smoke meth!
Yeah. Right, Ted...
Does it make you sick, too? To see them pull this nonsense all the time?

It annoys me that those people don't take responsibility for what they do. It's easy for them to blame the devil and then they think it means they are forgiven.

it's the evil that's in himself not the devil. sorry but it's all on the guy who did it so basically he's truly evil and again christianity has nothing to do with it. everyone is human and is capable of the same evil just some are so easily convinced. you can't blame all for what some do believe me there are many athiests out there doing the same but it's not expressed as much because people look for reasons to hate God. hope the baby gets better. God bless.

They are not truly living a Christian life. I can say I am rich and I have a 4.0 gpa or anything else, but just saying something does not necessarily make it true.
I hate what these people have done in the name of religion. And they are not living a life that is pleasing to God.

Sick? No - but disgusted all the same. I hope that woman gets medical treatment for her delusions - the husband admitted ot putting the baby in there - how is she so deep in denial?
Probably best for the kid to be put up for adoption - seriously.

It is par for the course when your religion encourages the abrogation of personal responsibility. But yes it sickens me like so many other things about Christianity.

You're completely right. My only wish is that Ted Haggard had come to me . . .

Seems they should be blaming that great gift their god bestowed that they call 'Free Will." But that would mean taking responsibility for their own actions.

From the book of Job,
4 "Skin for skin!" Satan replied. "A man will give all he has for his own life. 5 But stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse you to your face."
6 The LORD said to Satan, "Very well, then, he is in your hands; but you must spare his life."
7 So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. 8 Then Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped himself with it as he sat among the ashes.
9 His wife said to him, "Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die!"
10 He replied, "You are talking like a foolish [b] woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?"
In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.

I feel like grabbing their heads and saying: repeat after me, Take personal responsibility for my actions.

Not NEAR as much as a bank robber, cop killer, who says, after he's caught, "I know God."
