Eight Children Murdered by Mother

The 37-year-old mother of seven of the eight children found dead in a Cairns home yesterday has been arrested for murder.

Cairns Detective Inspector Bruno Asnicar said the mother, who was found yesterday with chest and neck wounds, was lucid and awake and speaking with police.

The bodies of eight children were found following what was believed to be a multiple stabbing on Friday morning.

The children, aged from 18 months to 14 years, were found in Murray Street, Manoora, where the 37-year-old woman was also located.

"The 37-year-old mother of several of the children involved in this incident has been arrested for murder overnight and is currently under police guard at the Cairns Base Hospital," he said.

We'll probably have to wait a while before we hear the details, but I will go out on a limb and say that this murderess is a fanatical Christian who decided her children were too good for this world, and so she sent them to live with Jesus in heaven.

A normal person (including normal Christians) could never commit such an awful crime. A person might suddenly lose their temper; lash out, and kill somebody but they would not have the mental capacity to kill another,

and another,
and another,
and another,
and another,
and another,
and another.

They would be so overcome by the sheer horror of their actions, they would simply have to stop; they would unable to continue.

But a fanatical Christian is capable of horrendous acts in the name of Jesus. A fanatical Christian has the capacity to kill, and kill, and go on killing until their self-appointed mission is complete. Fanatical Christians have heard the bible stories and they know that death solves all problems. They know that every time god gets annoyed with someone he kills them. It might be:

an individual (Lot's wife);
a married couple (Ananias and Sapphira);
a family (Job's wife and children);
a city (Gomorrah);
a tribe (the Amalekites),
or a whole planet (Earth at the time of Noah), 

But the rule is clear: when god gets stroppy, people have to die!

With those examples taken directly from their very own holy book, the fanatical Christian has no qualms about killing anyone for any reason that takes their fancy - did not god kill an old man for nothing more than picking up sticks on the sabbath? 

So the fanatical Christian becomes convinced that killing people is merely to do god's work - and the more you kill, the more god will praise you for your courage and tenacity.

Update 24th December, 2014

The 37-year-old Cairns mother accused of murdering eight children had recently turned to religion and banned technology from her home.

Raina Mersane Ina Thaiday, who remains under police guard in hospital, had taken to giving fiery sermons in the street and had cut the power to her home and threw away the television, neighbours told News Corp.

She warned locals not to use their mobile phones because they were the "work of the Devil" and posted a handwritten sign on a front window of her public housing home that read: "No alcohol, cigarette, and drunken people allowed in this area".
