How sad for these kids... and this family. How can "spiritual people" reach such depths?

Innocent until proven guilty.

Possibly his belief in an afterlife permits him in his own mind to do such a wicked thing. Where the God of the NDE is an all-loving, non-judgemental Being, where judgement is self-inflicted in passing over, he believes that he can get away with such cruel acts.

Whatever it is, it is inexplicable. It sounds to me like he cannot control his anger. There's a line in the Bhagavad Gita that says, "When a man dwells on the pleasures of sense, attraction for them arises in him. From attraction arises desire, the lust of possession, and this leads to passion, to anger. From passion comes confusion of mind, then loss of remembrance, the forgetting of duty. From this loss comes the ruin of the reason, and the ruin of reason leads man to destruction."

I dunno... this looks pretty bad no matter how you look at it.

Better or worse than whipping with a belt?

I think corporal punishment is to be avoided.

Sad case. Of course, it doesn't make his work any more or less valid - his work speaks for itself.

I agree, it does look bad and I am not an apologist, but at the same time, this could be an exaggeration or a misunderstanding. Without all the facts, it's not practical to form an opinion.

Can the same be said of Hitler's Men Kampf?

Yes. Work is work, and insanity is insanity. Of course, Hitler's work was probably insane.

Note that Arouet said it doesn't make his work any more or less valid. It might not have been valid to begin with.

It would be a bit of a do what I say, not what I do sort of thing, for sure.
