Mom kills son believing boy would be better off in heaven
December 17, 2014

A Kansas woman has been charged with first-degree murder after she beat and stabbed her 10-year-old son to death believing the boy would be better off in heaven, free from future suffering.
Lindsey Blansett was charged with first-degree murder on Tuesday, Dec. 16, after allegedly killing her 10-year-old son, Caleb. Court documents state that on Sunday, December 14, Blansett unlawfully, intentionally and with premeditation killed her son.
The following is a graphic excerpt from the criminal complaint filed by Sumner County Attorney Kerwin Spencer:
“…after her son, CB, age ten, had gone to bed, she (Blansett) decided his life would be full of suffering and pain and that it would be better for him to go to heaven tonight. She took a knife and rock into his bedroom, struck him with the rock and stabbed him with the knife multiple times until he was dead.”
Bond for Blansett was set at $500,000. She’s expected to be back in court on Thursday.
Struggling to wrap his mind around what happened, Clint Blansett, Caleb’s father, said he feels robbed of his life with his son. But even during such a trying time, he says his faith is what’s getting him through:
“Caleb was an angel, he was an angel and I know without a doubt in my mind he’s sitting at the right hand of Jesus…”

Shocking: Bipolar Julia Lovemore doused daughter Faith in white spirit and jumped up and down on her body

A six-week-old baby was killed by her bipolar mother after she stuffed pages from the Bible into the infant's mouth, while supposedly in the care of bungling NHS staff.
Christian fundamentalist Julia Lovemore, 41, killed daughter Faith by stuffing her mouth with paper then dousing her in white spirit and jumping up and down on her body.
Two health workers had visited the home in Milton, near Cambridge, earlier the same day and found her husband David in the grips of a psychotic episode, but had failed to act.
The computer games designer, 39, had been frantically praying on the living room floor, shouting for the devil to be taken out of his wife.
The health workers even heard his wife call from downstairs, but left without seeing her to arrange a formal assessment of the family.
Tragically, an hour later, Mr Lovemore carried his lifeless baby into Milton Health surgery, along with their first child, who was critically ill after being doused in white spirit.
Lovemore admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and was detained indefinitely under the Mental Health Act.
Other fatal errors by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Trust included the shocking loss of records detailing an attempt by Lovemore in 2006 to smother her first child with a pillow to stop her crying.

There was also a three-month gap when the family were left to their own devices after a mismanaged handover between mental health teams, a serious case review revealed.
Furthermore, Lovemore had called a nurse five days before the death to say she wanted no further visits - a common sign of a relapse - which the report said should have alerted staff to the danger she posed.
Mr Lovemore had told social worker earlier that month that if Faith or her sister got into difficulty, he would pray first. 'He never said yes or no to calling a doctor,' prosecutor John Farmer told Cambridgeshire Crown Court in June 2010.

Lovemore's aunt had reported her to authorities after becoming concerned over her 'religious fervour', saying she had distanced herself from her family, branding them 'heathens'.
The report has now criticised Cambridge County Council, local police and the NHS trust for failing to protect the girl, who died in June 2009.
It said there was lack of 'assertiveness' in making Lovemore take her medication.
It was ruled that too much time was spent on determining whether the family's extreme religious views were a sign of mental illness rather than looking at the risk they posed to the children.
The report said: 'There was a failure to collectively recognise the extent to which this family were a risk to their children once they were mentally unwell.'
Disgraceful: Health workers missed warning sign including her request to case treatment days earlier and her husband having a psychotic episode when they visited the house hours before Faith's death

It added that the risk the mother posed to her children was 'not understood in the light of her past behaviour' because of the loss of any record of her attempt to hurt her other daughter.
The report concluded: 'We have no doubt that all the professionals working with Mr and Mrs A [the Lovemores] wanted to help them and were really concerned about the health of both parents.
'However, it is evident that significant systems and processes were not adequately in place and as a result Mrs A and her children were allowed to slip though the safety net of care.'
Dr Chess Denman, medical director at the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, said the trust had now acted on the recommendation of the serious case review.
He said: 'We have already responded to the recommendations of the Serious Case Review and our own thorough internal investigation.
'We are now implementing a robust action plan in response to the external inquiry’s findings, including reviewing our risk assessment process and further increasing our focus on quality and safety.'

The bible commands christians to kill blasphemers
Leviticus 24:16

"And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death."

If you accept the old testament rules such as the 10 commandments, you'd better stone the next atheist or you're a hypocrite (don't actually stone atheists; after all, this sh*t's all made up *blasphemy* :P ).

How many Christians act on that.
 
The reason religious law of any kind isn't enacted in the USA is because the Founders set it up that way.

Secular governments are ruled by no religion.
We need to keep it that way.
 
It is interesting to me that whenever Americans quote 'the Bible', they never pick anything Christian. I suppose Senator McCarthy banned anything Jesus said.

What would you have them quote?

Matthew 5:3-10 - “Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Those verses and like ones are the basis for my life in Christ. I try to live up to them each day and I admit that I do fail from time to time.

Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

I'll not bother to point out some things that we agree on such as care for the poor who are poor by circumstance (disabled, illness, etc.) or for the elderly. I absolutely believe in a social system where these things are taken care of but it is also my job as a professed Christian to personally help as well.

But as many would agree with the first part of my post but would disagree with the second part, there are also those who agree with the second half while seemingly ignoring or disagreeing the first half.

I never understood this being that Jesus and the Apostle relied on the charity of others to spread the word. I guess you could consider it work, but they did rely on charity.

I think Paul often contradicts the words of Jesus.

It is your job as a Christian to establish socialism as soon as possible.
 
So, if these angles we're bringing news of a God who wanted you to be afraid.... Would the first words of his birth announcement be "Hark, be not afraid."
