Hetero Every Child Deserves a Mother and a Father, Headline of the Day, There Is No Morality Without Religion, Etc

Kids, mom lived with 90-year-old’s corpse for weeks in Wis.Two children and their mother lived for about two months with the decaying body of a 90-year-old woman on the toilet of their home’s only bathroom, on the advice of a religious “superior” who claimed the corpse would come back to life, authorities said Friday.
The children—a 15-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy—cried hysterically Wednesday after a deputy who came to their Necedah home looking for Magdeline Alvina Middlesworth ordered them out because of the stench from her body….
When Deputy Leigh Neville-Neil arrived at the house, she encountered Lewis, also known as Sister Mary Bernadett, the complaint said. Lewis, 35, initially refused to allow the deputy to check on Middlesworth, telling her that Middlesworth was on vacation and saying she had to check with her “superior” first.
But she eventually let the deputy in. The house smelled of incense and burned wood, and had religious materials everywhere and hymns playing on the stereo, according to the complaint. When the deputy opened the last closed door, she smelled “decaying matter” and noticed something piled on what appeared to be a toilet. Lewis told her it was Middlesworth’s body, the complaint said.
Lewis told the deputy that Middlesworth had died about two months earlier, but that God told her Middlesworth would come to life if she prayed hard enough. She said she couldn’t say anything more until she spoke with her “superior”—Bushey, 57, also known as Bishop John Peter Bushey.
When the deputy opened the last closed door, she smelled “decaying matter” and noticed something piled on what appeared to be a toilet.
When you gotta go, you gotta go. She went, and never came back.
Meanwhile, God released a statement: "They believed that prayer would reanimate the corpse? Good me, that's just stupid."
Trust me, I speak from experience when I tell you that once they've been dead for a few weeks, you don't want them coming back to life.
Werd.
@2,
Clearly these people have never watched a zombie/mummy slasher flick.
Y'know, much as I miss him, I don't think I'd want my Terry coming back now. I think he'd smell pretty bad.
Dan, is there a link to the full news story available? And in case you missed it in the other post, thanks for the condolences. It means a lot.
I blame the Chinese.
Muedede should write the script, and PLEASE cast Karen Black as the mother of the teenagers!
Remember that great quote from Alfred Hitchcock:
"If the dead were to come back,
What would you do with them?"
I do!
So, there's no father here just an insane mother ... hmmm ... is that the real point(lessness) of the Every Child posts ... mother hate? That JUST DADS are the way to go?
How insidious and what obviously wrong timing.
Hope ma likes the orange rose bush I got her.
No no, Sheriff, she just really got a problem with her bowels, she'll be up and about in no time!
I would have run away from home, and trust me, I would have NO intention of letting my mother handle the "funeral" plans. Urk.
Needs more pitbull.
HAHA, needs more pitbull
corpse piled on top of the toilet of their home's only bathroom? where was everybody doing their business--in the bushes?
Speaking of religion, I can't wait to hear Hagee explain how the tornadoes were God's punishment against the people of Missouri and Oklahoma. Funny how it never works that way though.
@13, Touche...Fuck all the preachers who declare that natural disasters are caused by sinners. They should be struck down by God.
Isn't it funny how some of these religious types give up their common sense whenever "God" is mentioned. There must be an explanation for this like it's some sort of adaptation for survival of the species. It would seem counter to that, but a kind of hypnosis that people fall under.
If there really was a God, He sure as shit would have smitten Savage years ago.
@15 The mechanism you describe can convince people to stop behaving in their own self interest, which can be good in situations where what's best for the individual conflicts with what's best for the society. So there's your survival-of-the-fittest-ideology explanation.
Of course, it can also convince people to do batshit insane things that are in nobody's best interest, as this article attests.

Possibly, assuming that God is young, hairless, and fairly androgynous.
Angry, Old Testament God would have just smote him.
Shes just sleepin.
Should be noted that Bushey is a "self-proclaimed bishop".
I guess she wasn't high enough level, that or she didn't have 2,000 gold worth of diamonds.
