Only in the US can folks get away with stuff like this. We enjoy freedom of religion and along with that comes the chance of wackos like these. Right now they enjoy their fame they are getting, but what happens when they want more attention? What will they do then? The woman has been running the front now for about two years, long enough for her to really enjoy the power she is wielding. She will need more, and so will her followers, they will try new methods to make the media rant about them.
I predict that within the next year they will perform killings, either against other people or themselves.

just like there are extremists and radicals in the Islam faith, there are also extremists and radicals in the Christian faith.
the reason i bring this up is to make people understand the difference between interpreting the bible metaphorically, or interpreting the bible literally.
these dumbass radical "christians" and radical muslims interpret the bible and qur'an literally. yes, there is a lot of war and violence in the torah, bible and qur'an, but do not take everything you read at face value. especially, passages that were written centuries ago.

There is nothing w/ interpreting the Bible literally... in fact the Bible is quite the literal prose of past/current/future history!!
The problem comes about from psychos that need forms of employment or constructive hobbies, or some good ol' fashioned cross-mounted p*ssy to otherwise keep their addled brains active & away from potential mischief!!
True Christians interpret the bible literally when it is literal & metaphorical when it applies... people need to understand that the Bible is a complex network of connected books that, much like anything else that is read, contains allusions that are both!! i don't see why it's so hard to accept this fact when one can run down to Borders & pick up the latest publication doing the same thing... it's like the Bible has it's own set of rules for crticism & naysaying... whatever!!
Next thing... the radical Christians are like the Pharisees... in other words, they have no idea what is going on... they need GOD the most!!
Islam is a false religion... point blank!!
*Disclaimer* Everyone is in fact entitled to pursue & practice their own religion or form of religion... this is just my opinion, not a malicious attack... no offense to any followers of Islam, Buddhism, Taosim, Wiccan or any other evil black magic practioners &/or pseudo religions i might have missed!!
Okay, I take the accounts from the Gospels of Jesus to be quite literal, but to take the old testament literally is pretty far fetched.
The Old Testament says that your son SHOULD BE KILLED if he so disobeys his parents. Do you think that literally means your son should be executed? No, it's just to show you how severe the sin of disobeying your parents is by comparing it to a form of punishment.
but you can take the Bible as literal as you'd like, just make sure you actually read the Bible before you speak of how to interpret it.

The bible also says you should hate your parents, your brother and your sister and love only God.

^^^Depends on what version of the Bible you are reading also.
unless you're reading the newer versions of the Bible, which I have yet to lays eye on, the older translations will more or less point to the same solution.
i am far from a heathen. I take much pride in being a Catholic. Just because I do not take everything from the Bible to be literal, does not make me any less of a believer in God than you.
here's a nice curve ball for you, in case you didnt know, Muslims worship the same God as we do.
