According to this article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, an 8-year-old autistic boy was smothered to death at a church service last friday as they were trying to cast out his demons.
Evil fucks. Evil goddamn ignorant Christian fundamentalist fucks.
Here are some choice quotes:
"Didn't do nothing wrong," David Hemphill (the pastor) said...
That's exactly right, you evil bastard. You didn't do nothing wrong. That is absolutely grammatically correct, because in fact you did do everything wrong.
The boy had a spirit in him, the pastor said. Asked how he knew that, he said: "I'm 62 years old, and I can tell a person that's not normal."
Yes, because normal people apparently cover sick, defenseless children with sheets, hold down their arms and legs, and smother them. In the name of God.
In 1998, the district attorney's office looked into allegations of child abuse after a 12-year-old girl claimed to be beaten during one of the church's service. At the time, Hemphill claimed the beating was not as severe as the police alleged and that congregation members were only doing as the Bible teaches. No charges were filed.
If child abuse and murder are "doing as the Bible teaches" then God is an evil bastard too. "No charges were filed." Feh. This sick fuck of a "pastor" is sitting in jail right now, and I hope he rots there. I hope he gets sent to prison, and I hope his bunkmate rapes him every night.
