Their saying it as she got of murder, but really she's going to jail in China for defending herself against an attempted rape. Now I know almost nothing about the Chinese justice system except that it seems to be pretty harsh (execution for tax evasion for instance), but I suspect Ms. Deng will never leave jail alive.

I can understand why their doing this and it's really not that big of a thing, but I see it as another example of the new¹ course the Christian Church is starting to follow, towards a purely feel-good theology. Here's how I see a conversation going between your average Modern Church (YAMC) and an earnest seeker of the truth (EST):

This is just stupid. What on earth was the matter with the official in this story. Since when can worms be psychologically traumatised? This official should be fired for blatant stupidity, worms love faeces, they should be as happy as a pig in mud [happy as a worm in poo?].
