The devil made him do it.

A teenage father from Texas, looking for work as a preacher (Not a good start, is it?) cooked his baby in a hotel microwave. She survived. Now Mommy wants the little girl back because, in her words, "He would never do anything to hurt her." Blame the devil. Ah, Satan: the righteous' scapegoat since 30 A.D.

Now, if a holy man wants to get high on meth and have a romp in the abominable hay with a male prostitute (a la Ted Haggard), that's fine with me. I won't judge you. Sounds like a good time for all. And it helps the economy. But cooking babies. I'm afraid I'm going to have to draw the line there. There's something seriously wrong with Texan Christianity. First, George Bush, now this? Ugh.
