woman blames the devil and not her husband for severely burning their infant daughter after the 2-month-old was put in a microwave, a Houston television station reported.

Eva Marie Mauldin said Satan compelled her 19-year-old husband, Joshua Royce Mauldin, to microwave their daughter May 10 because the devil disapproved of Joshua's efforts to become a preacher.

"Satan saw my husband as a threat. Satan attacked him because he saw (Joshua) as a threat," Eva Mauldin told Houston television station KHOU-TV.

A Galveston County grand jury indicted Joshua Mauldin last week on child injury charges after hearing evidence that he placed his daughter in a motel microwave for 10 to 20 seconds.

Begs the question why a preacher would listen to Satan, or conversely, why someone who can be ordered around by Satan would want to be a preacher. What if Satan took control of him while preaching and spread all kinds of erroneous teachig and blasphemy?

Anyway it sounds more like Moloch than Satan. A preacher would no doubt have read in the Old Testament about how the ancient Israelites made their children pass through fire for Moloch. (It is unclear whether this was a human sacrifice or a purifying ritual that sometimes happened to be fatal.)

isn't it basically just down to this:

good things happen: god's will
bad things happen: work of satan

free will is for suckers. If they accept free will, they'd have to take responsibility for their actions.
