Good news comes from unexpected quarters, friends. The tragic demise of a young boy at the hands of a cult leads doctors to declare religious belief entirely rational!
In December 2006, Ria Ramkissoon (also known as, er, Princess Marie) stopped feeding her 16-month-old bastard son, Javon Thompson. “Queen Antoinette”, leader of One Mind Ministries, had declared that the boy was possessed by a demon which could only be cured by forced fasting.
A demon? Indeed. You see, Javon had refused to say “Amen” before eating. What surer sign is there of a demon than this rejection of God by a child?
The demon was so strong, that the child refused to say “Amen” even as he starved to death.
The group laid the child out on a mattress, waiting for him to be resurrected. When he decayed instead, Queen Antoinette declared it the result of a nonbeliever in the group . . . who was cast out.
Ramkissoon, Queen Antoinette, and three other cult members are now being tried for murder. Ramkissoon has pled guilty to a lesser charge, on the condition that the charges be dropped if her son is resurrected.
Some people think she must be crazy. She starved her infant child to death! What do the court’s psychiatrists say?
GLORY!

Psychiatrists who evaluated Ramkissoon at the request of a judge concluded that she was not criminally insane. Her attorney, Steven Silverman, said the doctors found that her beliefs were indistinguishable from religious beliefs, in part because they were shared by those around her.
“She wasn’t delusional, because she was following a religion,” Silverman said, describing the findings of the doctors’ psychiatric evaluation.
Another scientist adds:“She wasn’t delusional, because she was following a religion,” Silverman said, describing the findings of the doctors’ psychiatric evaluation.
“At times there can be an overlap between extreme religious conviction and delusion,” said Robert Jay Lifton, a cult expert and psychiatrist who lectures at Harvard Medical School. “It’s a difficult area for psychiatry and the legal system.”
Scientists agree: People following religion, no matter how irrational they may seem to the ignorant outsider -- like our visitors -- are quite sane. GLORY!
