  796 infant skeletons have been found discarded in a septic tank at the former mother and baby home run by the catholic church in ireland between 1925 and 1961.. unwed mothers were sent these "magdelene asylums" to be treated like criminals.

  their babies - if they survived - were taken from them.

  if they did not survive their bodies were thrown into a septic tank and forgotton.

  Oh, brother.

  To be balanced, neither the basic definitions of God nor atheism carry character
  determinants. Either may add a good or bad stipulation to their outlook from a
  religious stance, society generally, or be 'centric and intolerant. There have
  been problems with either made law of the land, which is institutionalized 'cen-
  tric intolerance. Modern US social rules about adoption are pretty modern (see
  the Wikipedia article above).

  "The American model of adoption eventually proliferated globally. England and
  Wales established their first formal adoption law in 1926. The Netherlands passed
  its law in 1956. Sweden made adoptees full members of the family in 1959. West
  Germany enacted its first laws in 1977. Additionally, the Asian powers opened
  their orphanage systems to adoption, influenced as they were by Western ideas
  following colonial rule and military occupation."

  One indication of the accused knowing right from wrong is if they do things to
  try to get away with something they know they'd get in trouble for if their
  parents or a police person was beside them. In defense of the parents' ability to
  instill an understanding of right and wrong, the kids took their victim off into
  the woods to try to murder her. They knew murder was bad but tried to do it in
  spite of what their parents (and society generally) taught. I suspect they had
  some strong dislike of their victim and Slender Man is a dumb smokescreen.

  "How about Jephthah?"

  Edit > Find > Jephthah

  "Who in his right mind would design content that asks kids to kill someone?"

  Slender Man is a horror figure depicted in various works of fiction including
  games. The point is to avoid him--not kill children. Imagine being 12 and giving
  something like that, or out of a Hitchcock movie, as an excuse for attempted
  murder. Unsurprisingly: "The attackers were charged as adults and are each facing
  up to 65 years in prison."

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slender:_The_Eight_Pages
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slender_Man

  The closest to the excuse of the girls I could find is in the background of an
  antagonist of the 2nd game of the series, not something given as something the
  protaganist can do to become an assistant of the Slender Man:

  "Kate - friend of Lauren, she becomes the secondary antagonist for most of the
  game, but is also playable in "Chapter 4". Her mother has recently died and she
  has decided to sell the house, prompting Lauren's visit, but disappears. Prior to
  the events of the game, she had visions of the 'Slender Man' who she shared with
  her friend CR. The night before the events of the game, she was attacked in her
  home but managed to escape, as revealed in "Chapter 4". She was subsequently
  turned to serve as his "proxy", or an assistant of sorts."

  "The Slender Man - the main and faceless antagonist of the game. Facing him
  causes the camera to glitch and distort, intensifying as the player gets closer.
  In the game, it is also shown that he can turn his victims into "proxies", or
  assistants of sorts."

  I don't think you can play as an assistant, though. This YouTube video shows
  someone goofing around with a proxie:

  Why do Christian nations think they can assimilate Muslims into their communities , does Islam attempt to assimilate Christians in their communities ?

  islam /muslims today are what christianity was centuries ago , the two beleif systems are like oil and water , not to be mixed .

  christians are not tolerated spreading their infectious disease amongst muslims, in islamic countrys , and harsh penalties apply for them doing so in muslim countries , including the death penalty.

  stonings , whippings etc.. on the other hand christian nations are very tolerant of muslim extremists who incite hatred and violence on their own territory , and they get a slap on the wrist and say dont do it again .

  Some of these things (inerrant old text, etc.), as in Abrahamic religion
  generally, are matters of conservative stances. As in other Abrahamic religions
  they don't all have the same opinions about everything. What I have on it so far
  is mainly on p.4 of my article on "Basics":

  Living agreeably in mixed company, or secularization, seems more likely to
  happen in a more modern secular society. See the article at the next link:

  "Honour" Killing in Pakistan

  by cofty in

  25 year old farzana iqbal was stoned to death by a crowd led by her own father and two of her brothers outside the high court in lahore yesterday.. her crime was to reject her cousin, who her family had decided she should marry, and fall in love with a man of her own choosing.. thousands of women are murdered every year in so-called "honour killings" but convictions are very rare.

  pakistani law permits victim's families to forgive a murderer, but in these cases the killers are family members who are nominated to carry out the execution by the rest of the family.. this is what happens when you allow a mysogynistic religion to influence secular law.. reuters report...l.

  "How can christians see this and be disgusted? Their favourite book is full of
  the same laws. Sharia law isn't so different from mosaic law."

  There are four main viewpoints in the modern debate. They are known respectively
  as Christian feminism, Christian Egalitarianism, Complementarianism, and Biblical
  patriarchy.
