The Amish Curse

A man wakes up with demons, In his mind, he is conflicted with religion. The Holy Bible and the Amish, Have different views on, Everlasting life in heaven. He was paranoid. He had mental illness, He called the Bishop the Devil, For telling lies about heaven. All the Amish knew of his sickness, Yet did nothing to help. Finally taking him to the hospital, Only to learn he was schizophrenic, Yet was he?? No, it was later realized he had, Chemical poisoning in his brain, Caused by the cleaning engine fluid. He was released with medication. The next morning he killed his wife. Removing her brain and disemboweled, Her organs explaining that she didn't, Understand that the Holy Bible was truth, And the Amish was the curse. This is a true story. The detective said, It was the bloodiest and worse crime scene, He ever witnessed. A man outside was, Teaching him that praying will guarantee, Him everlasting life. The Amish only learn if they have, Everlasting life when they die. The Amish man found it confusing And a curse.

Hi Bill, well when I watch true crime it doesn't affect me so but this was so senseless. I felt it should have never happened, if he could have got medical help they would still be here. I'm sure Amish community isn't happy with it but they really must accept their fate and realize they are at fault. Again thank you Bill for your very kind words.

I saw the story on true crime channel ID and it just moved me. He used the chemical in a closed building for months. To me it was so sad that with the Amish was the downfall of his illness. Yet nothing has changed they still don't rely on medicine.
