8 year old chops off thieving brothers hand after "The bible told him to"
"If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed than with two hands to go into Gehenna [hell], into the unquenchable fire."(Mark 9:43)
This was the passage that convinced 8 year old Arron Asa to cut off his 2 year old brothers hand.
Arron spent 15 minutes looking for his favorite toy before finding it under his brothers bed. Infuriated, Arron struck his brother multiple times. Alerted by the younger brothers screams, their mother came running in. She scolded Arron saying, "That's not how you act when someone takes something from you." She then sent Arron to read the bible as punishment.
Arron stumbled across the passage above and proceeded to remove his brothers hand with a cleaver.
Doctors were unable to reattach the severed grabber.
Arron will not face any criminal charges but his mother has hidden the bible in an effort to prevent another accident.

People take a 2,000 year old book too literally
