I dont know if this would be reassuring to our catholic posters or not, but IMO I dont think it's anything to do with her religion truly, the whole thing is screaming untreated schizophrenia to me. obviously a good catholic or christian would not do something like ..I cant even type it out yall, I'm sorry. it wasnt religion that made her do this.
You're spot on. After reading I recognized the schizophrenia from the start. My brother is a paranoid schizophrenic and while most are not harmful they can be if they feel they are under attack or about to die by someone's hand. Most Paranoids have great fear of the Government, they are out to get them. Sad to say this woman is mentally ill however not enough to escape prison.
Hopefully she will be treated in prison and then she can come to comprehend what she did.
