a Colorado woman is claiming that Jesus Christ told her to lay a newborn
baby girl on train tracks as a train prepared
to depart the Pueblo station last week
I witnesses watched with horror on february 14th around 2:15 p.m. when they
saw 31-year-old
Jennifer Sloan place a newborn baby
on the tracks in front of a train that was getting ready to depart
from the north and a Pueblo Colorado near the
near 2910 lolol passengers started knocking on the door of the first car
the train to tell the conductor that there's a baby on the tracks
the train's conductor alerted to city workers
workers grab the newborn baby from the tracks it remains unclear
whether Sloan is the mother of the child police said that when they showed up
Sloan was completely incoherent
and that she was taken into custody and
that she has said she wants to proceed without a lawyer
and also told authorities that she believes in Jesus Christ
took the two-year-old in been from her arms
and placed her on the tracks
in front of the train she's been charged with first-degree
attempted first-degree *** for her alleged actions
if Jesus really told her to do it wouldn't charging her with *** be a
violation of the first amendment or something or her religious freedom
it would be something along those lines yeah
I have well they would certainly be a violation of the Bible right
maths that's the biggest violation a ball I i really have trouble with this
whenever we do a story because
if you if you imagine a some kind of spectrum right
where you have on one side of the spectrum
a Jesus has told me that I should really
honor my father and my mother so I do that okay
and then we have on the far other end of the spectrum
this Jesus told me that I should put a baby
on the train tracks it really doesn't seem
like it matters what Jesus said right in other words
what matters is whether what you're doing appears to be a sign of mental
illness or not
if you're honoring your parents your mother and your father we don't really
think
at least we as a society although certainly many individuals with think
doing anything because you think Jesus told you to do it sounds crazy to me but
let's put that aside for a second okay
as a society we're were we accept that we say hey it's great
religion has influenced you to be respectful if your parents and other
people in that really make sense
on the other hand if the if it would Jesus told you to do is to put a baby on
on the tracks we say
no no no that's a perversion ABR alleging that absolutely ridiculous
but in my mind once we've opened the door
to what Jesus has told you to do and the concept of having a personal
relationship with Jesus her with God
and and and you pray and they speak to you
who are we to say that yes Jesus tell some people to honor their parents
but doesn't tell other people to put little babies on train tracks
yet to me this is this woman thinking that Jesus told her to put baby a baby
on train tracks
and not thinking but that might not make any sense is basically the same as
someone listening to pat robertson tell them the yoga is demonic
and just taking it at face value and not actually thinking to themselves or maybe
that doesn't make any sense
week we really need to have some kind of way to
I open it up to the audience even if
Jesus or God or whoever is telling you to do something that seemingly doesn't
harm anyone
is it any more or less logical
then Jesus or God or Buddha or whoever
telling you to put a baby on the train tracks that is my question to you today
