I have a close friend who owns a house that she rents out. Last weekend, one of my friend’s tenants stabbed her husband to death in his sleep; the police were called out, the tenant was hauled off to jail, it was a messy scene.
Did you know there are companies that specialize in cleaning up after violent crimes? I didn’t.
Turns out that homeowner’s insurance covers it, too.
This morning, my friend and I went to the house with an insurance adjustor. The place was a wreck; the crime-scene cleanup team had been and gone, but all the stuff belonging to the tenants was piled up in a heap in the middle of the living room.
Going through all that stuff was really creepy. There were Bibles everywhere; apparently, the woman who murdered her husband was devoutly religious, and had a collection of Bibles and gospel music that would rival the Vatican’s.
Kind of just figures, doesn’t it?
maybe she thought he was the devil…or possesed…hmmmm…..
Or maybe she was possessed. Who knows?

yeh, I did know there are special cleaner-uppers. I think some program like 60 Minutes or Dateline did a half-hour special on one couple who’s career is to do just that. Most people can’t handle it. The motto on their truck is “It’s a dirty job, but somebody has to do it.” Just kidding.
I’m never surprised at what Bible thumpers will do. Biggest bunch o’ holier-than-thou hypocrites. It’s why I don’t believe in God — if he did exist, he’d have whomped a whole lotta psychos who’ve been committing atrocious acts with God and Religion as a transparent excuse since the Crusades.
I’m not surprised a lot of people can’t handle it. I imagine they probably run into some pretty nasty scenes. (Apparently, this particular crime scene was pretty nasty itself, though I didn’t see it before it was cleaned up…)
I’m not really too down int he religion thing, because I understand the impulse to form organized religions. It’s part and parcel of the human condition; I doubt you could eliminate religion without changing the nature of the human animal to the point that we’re no longer recognizably human.
Still, that doesn’t change the fact that organized religion, in and of itself, can be a profound force for evil…
