Thread Name: BS: It's not delusional if it's religious?
Subject: RE: BS: It's not delusional if it's religious?
To reiterate my point above:

Nobody is arguing, has argued, or will argue that the woman is innocent because she acted based upon her religious convictions. That doesn't fly in US courts. Christian Scientists are not allowed to withold life-saving medical treatment from their children. If they do, they go to prison. Satanists are not allowed to hold human sacrifices. If they do, they go to prison. Muslims are not allowed to kill their sisters for having premarital sex. If they do, they go to prison.

So, stop acting like the finding that the woman is not delusional, but acted upon a religious conviction, is going to keep her from prison. It's not. It's what's going to send her and her cohorts to prison.
