@@susansage1876 The real truth is that you love your wicked sins! Unless you repent; you will perish. Romans 1:18-32 God's Wrath on Unrighteousness 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[a] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. 24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

Honestly, I studied forensics to become a forensic pathologist (before I truly realized how long medical school would take) and the way I thought about it was “I really want to help families understand how their loved one was taken from them”. Now, I might go into either veterinary or mortuary school because that desire to help people is still there, whether that’s thru helping animals or helping the grieving process. I don’t think it’s weird at all to be interested in ‘morbid’ topics simply because the world needs people to be passionate about those things.

[@mommadeth3066]

If you are apart of the religion you dont think twice about the person sitting beside you in church or any other holy place because they don't think someone who believes in God or a god can do something like that. Its people who are outside the religion have the same views of why would you trust someone because they are religious because it's mostly common knowledge that anyone can be a murderer even if the are religious

[@fetchstixRHD]

Not least because someone malicious could very easily decide to pretend to be religious to lure victims in...

'If someone's religious you trust them, you believe in them'.......how crazily true that is, much to so many people's detriment. Religion is not a good character reference and should never be assumed to be. It's so often the mask of those who are evil.

You are absolutely spot on Sarah..I have been a victim of a crime twice and both were so called Christians.. Elaborately used Christianity to hide their devious evil doings,. I am no longer a dunce and view Christians as fellow human beings and nothing more. Humans, whatever race religion or whatever they are in life are capable of anything.

[@mariaherrera-gm4ze]

Sarah Drenth definitely feel people use religion to disguise them selves and do evil.

Yes because after all, you can trust a catholic priest for example, its not as if they are members of the largest organised paedophilia protecting organisation in the entire world or anything. Anyone spot an issue in trusting someone because they seem very religious?

Con men use it as a tactic, along with salesmen. If you present yourself as religious or a family man, you're instantly more trustworthy

[@1crimechronicles]

It's truly engrossing how criminal investigations unravel, revealing the intricate dance between patience and urgency that detectives must master. Each new person interviewed and each clue discovered adds another layer to the complex tapestry of the case. The meticulous attention to detail required, coupled with the emotional restraint necessary to pursue leads without bias, showcases the profound skill and dedication of those in law enforcement. Their ability to maintain composure under pressure not only drives the investigation forward but also ensures that justice is served with integrity.

Did you know? Prior to carrying forms of ID, one of the most common ways of identifying a body was by the watch. Pocket watches were the more common type carried and were often serviced and marked inside with a service number. Watches from the early 1900s and 1800s are often covered with these numbers. Law enforcement would check with local jewlers to see if they could match them.
