(Newser) – Massachusetts police have charged a 22-year-old man with raping his girlfriend’s 2-year-old daughter, setting fire to her blanket, violently resisting arrest, marijuana possession, and a litany of other charges, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports. Christopher C. Mundell was supposed to be babysitting the toddler, and was highly intoxicated upon arrest.

Police arrived at the scene early this morning to find the mother outside with the child, who had a large cut on her leg; a local hospital later determined the toddler had been raped. Mundell emerged from the house bloodied, and police arrested him when they saw a knife hidden in his shoe. Later, at the station, he got into an altercation with cops and “said he was going to find a gun and kill them all,” the police chief said.

On the Mary Jane. Mary makes you paranoid and non violent (it's really addictive and can make you a sad mess). Alcohol will ruin your life... I was out with my girlfriend the other day in a boat on the river drunk as a skunk, I fell in. I couldn't stop laughing let alone get myself out... Motor skills were far gone. Steel Reserve and boats...

Why bad things happen to good people has always been a bone for the naysayers of christianity why didn't God intervene if he is good? thats needs a prolonged answer but a similar question that might help is this: Why do good things happen at all? While we see evil all around us its undeniable that evil is somehow restrained no? The common Grace of God in his universe makes it so that the sun shines on both the evil and the good. As far as your experience with the church there is a long standing dispute if the bible teaches "once saved always saved" it is a misunderstanding / application of the doctrine of Salvation. Jesus died for his elect people whom God choose from before the beginning of time. The bible is a news report of events that happened. Like any news report it has backstory and side story but mostly it is about Gods redeeming his choosen people to himself. All are called to accept its claims, the other faiths and traditions are at the very core rejections of the news report. All other faith twist the report for there own purposes, but none reach the true God. Your are right re: morality it is a false indicator. As far as Alan Watts goes his idea of faith in Christ closing the mind to any new vision. Any new vision of the world isn't true for the simple fact that its new. If its true it isn't new. If its true it has always been true. I think your old churhes use of bribery into heaven and the threat of hell is also unfortunate. And that why I would agree with (reader766...) that you would be well served to find a solid bible believing church. That you have such disdain for elements of christianity tells me a-lot about the misgiving of man, it should not lead you to a distaste for Gods grace. It also might mean that if your approach to meet your pastor and receive salvation was genuine and you were sorry for your rejection of Christ then maybe it is true however misspoken "once saved always saved" Those who belong to Christ he will never let go. .

Marijuana is a drug that in most case smakes a person relaxed and non agressive and non violent....Alcohol in that case is one of the biggest reason while already scum like this do things like this...ban all drugs!......also alcohol! Maybe your weekend will be less exiting but we all will live in a saver world...especially our kids.
