Craziest Christian Of The Year: We Have a Winner!
19 Dec
Well, it certainly has been a tremendously hard-fought competition this year, with lots of worthy contenders. An embarrassment of riches, if you will. In most years, any of last month’s nominees would have won easily, and these folks certainly put in a strong late bid, but I’m thinking that we have to give the award to this guy, hands down.
Ridgefield father Edwin B. Baxter asked God for mercy and a judge for understanding Wednesday as he faced sentencing for an attempted circumcision on his 8-year-old.
Baxter said he was inspired to cut his son after reading Scripture and first consulted his wife.
................
On Sept. 3, Baxter called his son into the bathroom and had him lay in what witnesses described as a dirty bathtub. Baxter used a hunting knife to slice into his son’s foreskin. He called 911 when his son began bleeding profusely.
Hell, if the field wasn’t so damn crowded, this loon might even be a contender for Craziest Christian of All Time. (I’m pretty sure that Torquemada, the reigning all-time champ, is safe for the time being. If our boy Edwin had managed to circumcise a couple of million kids with hunting knives before he was caught, we might have to talk about crowning a new champ.)
