According to the Message Bible, "the Word became flesh and blood and moved into the neighborhood."

Well, shit, property values just plummeted.
 
Religious liberty.

COLE CAMP, Mo. (AP) — A 4-year-old girl died after being dunked in an icy pond and beaten by two neighbors who claimed it was necessary to remove a “demon,” a Missouri sheriff said Tuesday.

Ethan Mast, 35, and Kourtney Aumen, 21, are charged with second-degree murder and other offenses. Both are jailed without bond and don’t yet have attorneys, according to court records.

“Based on what I know, I think this could be some kind of honest-to-goodness religious-type episode,” Benton County Sheriff Eric Knox said in a phone interview. The suspects and the victimized family belonged to the same church, but Knox declined to name the church or its denomination.

Deputies were called around 1 a.m. Sunday to a rural home near the town of Cole Camp and found the 4-year-old wrapped in a blanket on a bedroom floor. A probable cause statement from Sgt. Chris Wilson said the girl was already dead and had “severe purple bruising” over her body, along with ruptured blisters.

Knox said the girl’s parents also had been beaten along with a 2-year-old child. An infant son of the couple was apparently unharmed. The mother, 28-year-old Mary Mast, and the toddler are hospitalized. Their conditions weren’t immediately available. The father of the children, James Mast, did not require hospitalization.

Despite having the same last names, Mary and James Mast are not related to Ethan Mast, Knox said.

Ethan Mast and Aumen live across the road from the family. James Mast told investigators that the beatings had occurred over several days and that he and his wife observed them but were told they would be beaten or shot if they tried to intervene.
 
Earlier this month, I started attending a secular/agnostic AA. You admit your life is unmanageable, yes, but the Secular 12 steps basically say "you made this mess, and with a little help, you have the power to clean it up and move forward."

Jesus: But Dad, I don't want to stay with Mary and Joseph this weekend!
God: You know the drill. You can live with me most of the time, but you spend Christmas and Easter with them.
Jesus: Christmas and WHAT?
God: What?

Literal laugh at loud. Thanks!
 
Watching America the last 4 years, we went from "God shed his grace on thee" to "I'll show you a God who falls asleep on the job; how can we win when fools can be kings?"
 
In case you're wondering how Evangelical Christian media is covering the events of the past few days, I made the terrible mistake of going to Charisma Magazine's website.

Basically, all the articles regarding 1/6/2021 say "this is fine. God wanted this to happen. EVERYTHING IS AWESOME! EVERYTHING IS COOL WHEN YOU'RE PART OF THE TEAM!"
 
Re: Joel Osteen, Copeland, Meyer, etc.

Their entire job is telling the rubes anything they want to hear. Some have made a career out of it, to the point of getting their followers to buy them a new Gulfstream. At this point, my response has become "don't hate the player, hate the game."
