In closing arguments against a woman who claims God told her to make a human sacrifice (a request she took to heart, killing her three children by throwing them into the San Francisco Bay)…

Prosecutor Linda Allen asked jurors to use their heads, not hearts, to determine Lashuan Harris’ fate.

I’m with Linda (and for that matter, Dawkins) on the whole idea. Why should any “religious person” get a free pass for any of their outlandish claims? Most are, of course, reasonable people indoctrinated from birth by organizations that cherry-pick certain ideas from the Bible (or whatever), while ignoring the difficult ones � say, stoning any new wife who is discovered to be something other than virginal.

Is this unfortunate woman’s claim all that different (fundamentally) from those we hear from jihadists? Or for that matter, evangelicals? If her particular “God Delusion” is to be subject to rational scrutiny, shouldn’t all religion?
