My Comments:
I rarely make negative comments about religion in specifics, but sometimes I just cannot help myself. This is such a dark and ass-backwards act. It is actions such as these that cement in my mind the absolute absurdity of some religious values. How can one be so certain about his faith that he would take the life of some one else in serving that end. It makes no friggin’ sense whatsoever…no sense. Wherever she goes beyond this earth, won’t be too far from these clowns.
