SOUTH CAROLINA: Woman Murders Dog For Chewing On Her Bible

[Bluebear]

A South Carolina woman is claiming an act of canine cruelty was simply an act of divine intervention.

Miriam Fowler Smith, 65, told cops on Monday that she hung and burned her nephew's pit bull after the animal took a bite out of her bible.

She claimed God urged her to kill Diamond, a 1-year-old female dog, because the animal was a "devil dog" and would hurt neighborhood children...

Authorities said Smith confessed to wrapping an extension cord around Diamond's neck, hung the animal from a tree, and then set the pup on fire.

3. What ever her twisted reasoning is...

It was cruel and inhumane what she did to that poor dog and she should be charged accordingly.

Freaking whack job :mad:

14. Religion is just a bullshit excuse for the cruelty that she did

And no, she's not whack, she's plain evil. Rot in prison, old woman, since you can't afford Michael Vick's attorney.

5. I rember this fucked up story. I rember wondering at point do we consider religious beliefs to be

delusions? We seem to have a line, but at what point do we consider it crossed?

6. So if I walked past her, chewing on a bible

she'd try to kill me to? I say "try" because she'd be on the ground with a collapsed knee long before she wrapped anything around my neck. This women needs to be committed now and spend the rest of her life getting major therapy and other mental health.

10. Ah, I understand your sentiment

Truly I do but when you say 'she ought to be strung up and burned herself' do you not then become the same as her?

Food for thought that's all.

9. "What you do to the least of my creatures.,

you do to ME". I remember something like that quote from the Bible. Sorry, we didn't read the Bible much in 12 years of catholic school. Anyway, this is just SICK and the woman should be arrested for cruelty to animals.
