Excuse Us, But, Where's That Line Again?

"There is a definite and defensible line between religion and delusion.



Recently in Baltimore, a woman pled guilty to starving her 1-year-old child to death because he did not say 'amen' after breakfast. Ria Ramkissoon was a member of the cult One Mind Ministries.



One Mind Ministries, led by Queen Antoinette, claims to find authority for its unique beliefs in the Bible. Queen Antoinette is the group’s exclusive communicator to God. New members are required to live in the cult’s house in Baltimore, to get rid of cell phones and to eliminate any contact with family.



Ramkissoon only pled guilty under the condition that the charges would be dropped if her son was resurrected. This 'Resurrection Clause' added to Ramkissoon’s sentence is a ridiculous legal act.



Granted, the judge most likely went along with this contingency because it’s not going to happen. However, the simple act of agreeing to such outlandish terms is equivalent to giving legitimacy to what this cult has done."
