Aah c'mon, religion isn't THAT bad... is it?

Check out this article in the papers yesterday about a self-proclaimed pastor who 'sired' 3 children with his own daughter...

A couple of key quotes from the article:

The man raped his daughter between 1998 and 2006 after telling his wife, three sons and daughter that God had told him to fulfill his promise as a "descendant of Benjamin".

He testified that he slept with his daughter so that she could "see the kingdom of heaven" when she died.

The pastor further testified during his trial that he had never heard the word "incest" until he appeared in court and that he'd never seen the word in the Bible.

He had quoted many Bible verses in an attempt to back up his plea of innocence.


And here's the kicker:

He told court that a man like him WOULD NOT SLEEP WITH HIS DAUGHTER UNLESS IT WAS FOR RELIGIOUS REASONS.

I rest my case. For now.
