Man wrongfully accused of crimes due to religious hysteria.


Here's a prime example of people letting hysterical religious beliefs get in the way of logic. This man's life was ruined by it. I realize this doesn't begin to cover the spectrum of Christian belief, but there are enough people like the ones described in this article to scare me deeply. This kind of religious hysteria isn't limited to Christianity either.

It brings to mind a favored quote of mine:

"I do not feel obligated to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." -- Galileo Galilei
