It also advocates the ownership of slaves and murdering of people who don't agree with you. Don't think I would like the modern world to follow those ideal either.

Limp whatever. With respect, not all subscribe to such a limited view. A religion that advocates any form of killing is something I will not accept. I would suggest that even within the ambit of so-called christianty your view would be regarded as simplistic.

Muti that makes you bulletproof and fearless, the slaughtering of bunnies that caused the massacre, stoning a man because he was filled with an 'evil spirit'...

Holy $h17 South Africa... we are not living in the middle ages...

@Robin-H

With demonic possession psychiatric help won't make a difference unfortunately. Maybe they should have called Mosquer the blog-preacher and exorcist :-)

Illuminated. Demonic possession?? What a bnunch of crock man. There is no such thing as a demon, whether it possesses or dispossesse or dances tangos on pins. What century are we in? Please remind me.

Please explain why the excuse is that the man was possessed by ev!l spirits...if there is such a thing in reality...sounds to me they wanted him dead all along...Since when is being mentally unstable considered being possessed by ev!l spirits.

Can we have a list of words that are not accepted for comments please......?

Kuch. OK. I concede that, but actually age is irrelevant. The man is clearly disturbed, and this talk of demons and stuff is just absurd. He needed help and got killed instead. So how useful is splitting hairs?

Yes burning the huts are wrong, I agree, but k!lling him for doing so is simply barbaric....seems to me the family are possessed by ev!l spirits...again, if that even exists in reality.

More proof that christianity and religion is at the forefront and the leader when it comes to genocide. So if I am a christian and my child is mentally ill and or unstable...i have every right to k!ll the bugger.
