If you allow them to use the insanity defense then you are saying that all religious people are insane.
This is a legitimate debate in legal circle and I brought it up because I recently finished reading "Under the Banner of God" which directly addresses this issue in the trials of Ron and Dan Lafferty, two Mormons who brutally murdered their sister-in-law and her infant daughter because God told them to. Ron refused to let his lawyers even address the insanity defense. Dan's lawyers tried and lost.
But now that you guys are finnish taking shots at me do either of you care to give your opinion on the original question?
Do you seriously buy this as you type it? I'm probably the least religious person on this board and your attack was plan as day.
