QUESTION A Georgia Mom Crashed Her Car Into a Concrete Pole to Show Her Kids God Exists – Friendly Atheist

This is how I was raised, that god would protect and heal me just so long as I had complete faith in him. For decades I thought my faith wasn't strong enough because I had seizures. I truly do hate religion, especially Christianity. 😠

Unfortunately this is not that unusual. I know several christians who have done stupid things because rthey thought fictional god would protect them. It didn't end well. The biggest fake were the faith healers.

Like committing an exorcism on someone with epilepsy. That one bugged me worse than the others I had to endure

@ashortbeauty have to feel a little sorry for the dupes but not that much.

@lbusche when the dupe is a child sorry is felt. In my case being stuck in a dumb religious family and having epilepsy sucked royally

@ashortbeauty I was referring to adult dupes. Shouldn't be going anywhere near children.

@ashortbeauty Religion is mental illness!

I hate all religion because it is all the same. We are taught to believe in imaginary beings and told what this/these beings want. The idea of this is ridiculous.

@AncientNight I'm too non-caring about any religion of any kind. Been there, done that. Done!

Fortunately for you in today's world most people consider seizures to be a medical condition rather than a demonic possession. How might you have been treated even a few hundred years ago, especially by Chistians of the day....Yikes!

Oh it was treated as demonic possession in the church I grew up in. I can't even count how many exorcisms I've had :/

@ashortbeauty that is so incredibly sad and abusive!

@Humanity4all ...yeah

Looks like she proved her point lol

Ya, that's what I was thinking.
I don't really wish harm on anyone, but it might have been better if she had been banged up a bit, maybe not dead, but that would have worked too.
(Does that sound callus?)

@scurry She will get another chance to prove her point.

There are levels of stupid. Hers are around level 930.

@Aralt Out of 929. lol

There’s got to be more they can charge her with. Those kids should be taken away from her as well.

Agreed.

Life is stranger than fiction.

Especially when people believe, rely, and life their life according to that fiction...

I hope that mother goes to jail for a very long time. Ten years?

It's Georgia if she pleas out they'll kill her for being black and if she goes to trial all the jurors will be as evangelical as she is and will find her not guilty

This woman is mentally ill. I hope they put her under psychiatric care.

I hope that they are keeping the children safe...away from her!

She must have been dropped on her head as a baby.

This story reminds me of another story that happened here in North Carolina years and years ago. A man who is stuck in traffic accelerated and caused a multi vehicle accident. The reason why, according to him,
God told him he could drive through traffic.

Insanity

How fucking stupid can you get??

Apparently highly stupid

2

It hasn't done me me much good eith

It is very embarrassing to be living in Georgia, sometimes.

The little girls sound cute. Thankfully, they were not injured!

Didn't she get the memo? Just suppose to pretend God exists. Not really supposed to believe that shit.

I always wonder about people like this who have something horrible happen to them, like getting an aggressive cancer. That must be emotional torture. They either have to believe they were wrong their whole lives or that their faith was weak. And still face the cancer.

Circular logic really is its own cancer, isn't it?

2

Can't say I blame you. I feel the same way. Most Christians don't practice what they preach anyway.

3

Xianity is horrible.

It's fucktards like this that make me want to picket churches on Sundays (and Wednesday nights). They're ALL lucky I don't have a dragon.

Christians always seem to test 'god,' to try an prove his existence to others and themselves! That alone may be a sign they 'really' don't believe! If there was a 'god,' I can't believe he would be compelled to answer the call of one desperate mortal in all the universe! If he did answer all the calls of mortals, I suspect that most people would still be alive, today and in perfect health!

She accepted the Darwin Award Challenge, and lost. Who wants to be next?

I hope the kids pay attention to what they saw and felt, rather than what Mama told them.

The car is probably totaled. I guess Jesus doesn't protect cars?????

I think she may have converted her kids to atheism then and there with that stunt.
