  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The mental health system let down a mother and daughter and the mentally ill woman whose car killed them, a judge has said.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/leicestershire/7888535.stm

This is possibly one of the most interesting and very delicate subjects I have yet encountered. Just as this woman was a vessel in a car, could she have been a vessal for something else?

Interesting article for us here especially if viewed in how we (Christians) would perceive the situation and to how the world perceives the situation. A sad story none the less.

I think it's the tragic story of a person suffering from mental illness and the system failing them and the victims. I'm a christian who while believing that diabolical oppression and possession can be a reality, I'd be looking for a medical explanation first, before applying any religous specualtions. My brother is a psychiatrist and he's a christian as well. He deals with persons suffering as badly as the person behind this tragedy. He'd be the first to say that they are patients who need long term medical care and other measures, yet often the systems of the state fail to deliver. This is a sad tragedy indeed.
