Man cuts off, microwaves his own hand

AP Jan 9, 2008

HAYDEN, Idaho - A man who believed he bore the "mark of the beast" used a circular
saw to cut off one hand, then he cooked it in the microwave and called
911, authorities said.

...

"It had been somewhat cooked by the time the deputy arrived,"
sheriff's Capt. Ben Wolfinger said. "He put a tourniquet on his arm
before, so he didn't bleed to death. That kind of mental illness is
just sad."

...

The Book of Revelation in the New Testament contains a passage in
which an angel is quoted as saying: "If anyone worships the beast and
his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he,
too, will drink the wine of God's fury."

The book of Matthew also contains the passage: "And if your right
hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for
you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into
hell."

Wolfinger said he didn't know which hand was amputated.

Very sad, and a bit scary.

I hope this man gets the help he needs.

This defies reason.

How do people get to this level of crazy? :hide:

He needs serious help.

you're very funny
