A deeply Christian college student in Oklahoma allegedly nearly decapitated the son of a state trooper with a sword because the victim practiced witchcraft, police say.

Isaiah Marin of Stillwater was charged Thursday with first-degree murder in the attack that killed 19-year-old Jacob Andrew Crockett a day earlier.

The two had been playing cards with a third pal, Marin's brother, when Marin removed the 'large black sword' from its sheath and began swinging it around, court records obtained by MailOnline show.

There are nutjobs on all sides.

In other news, there are ***holes with all kinds of religious beliefs.

Comment from the article, "Don't do meth and religion at the same time.".

For every one alleged witch murdered by a Christian, there are 1+ million innocent people murdered by radical Muslims.

We shouldn't just throw our hands up and say, "All religious people are wacko".

Nope. That's not true. No one who is "deeply Christian" tries to kill people.

Perhaps "deeply deceived". But not "deeply Christian".

That one word makes the entire post seem pretty agenda driven.

Neither should we discount that possibility.

What distinguishes the two cases is that neither dogma nor custom suggests the idea of beheading people in one case, but it does in the other. And that's what makes this an outlier (that, and the meth).

Did he shout all praise be to God?

It's interesting that some posters seem to think that her Christianity might be an indictment on them. It's not. So there's little need to come out with the "No, no. This is how it's different" response.

10% of Islam supports Jihad (killing of "non-believers", a very broad term).

Not even 0.0001% of all Christians believe in violence to non-Christians.

All religions are not equally good or bad. They don't all have the same values.

According to history, they are.
If the Old Testament was viewed as historical literature (which it isnt), then Jews supported the slaughter of their enemies, regardless of their sex or age, and God did as well.

Christians most certainly supported the killing of all Muslims during the crusades, as well the brutal treatment of indigenous people in the new world because they werent Christians.

And Im sure many of the eastern religions have their ugly pasts as well.

Religion isnt good or bad. People are either good or bad. Good people are going to use their religion to do good things, and bad people are going to use their religion to do bad things.

You stumbled into the key point here.

Islam is still stuck in the 5th century. Its what separates them from all the other major religions in the world.

There's no such things as a "Christian Zealot" who is high on meth.

Let me interrupt the dog and pony show here and be the first one to offer condolences to the family of the victim.

Yep, as of now the Islamic middle east (the geography being a key point) is not enjoying the best of times, but it wasnt that long ago that Christian Europe was a backwards cesspool filled with tyrants who claimed to be anointed by God, while the Islamic Middle East was a civilized society that made advancements in philosophy, literature, mathematics, science, medicine, etc.

This golden age of Islams decline had less to due with hard line religious fundamentalist, though they did show up like they do when any society begins to falter, and more to due with invasions by the mongols and crusaders with the mongol destroying Baghdad and the slaughtering of hundreds of thousands of people.

Life both on the small scale and grand scale is cyclical. Societies rise and fall, we by no other reason than luck happen to have been born in a Christian society that is on top, but if people think this will always be, then we really are doomed to that fall.

^ this.

Muslim beheads non-Muslim: religion of war/hate/death/murder
Christian beheads: "They weren't REALLY a Christian"

LAUGHABLE. Smh at anyone that uses this ever.
