Satan tends to get blamed for just about every major social ill in the world. Wars, famine, and disease are all largely viewed as proof of the Devil's existence and subsequent wretched influence on Earthly affairs. People also like to fault Satan for personal grievances. It's Satan's fault you can't find your car keys. It ain't nothing but the Devil keeping you from getting to work on time. That doggone Lucifer just won't let you hit that number with the quick pick. Satan is the ultimate hater and cock blocker.

But now, Satan's getting the blame for one of the most heinous forms of child abuse in recent memory. Down in Galveston, Texas, a wife is standing by her man, blaming Satan and not her husband for their infant child being severely burned in the microwave.

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.

Mauldin told reporters in Houston that Satan saw her husband as a threat. So much for personal responsibility. Crazy people just love blaming the Devil for everything, don't they?

Police said Joshua Mauldin told them he put Ana Marie in the microwave because he was under stress. Eva Maudlin denied it.

"He would never do anything to hurt her. He loves her," she said.

He loves her so much that his sick ass treated his daughter the same way you treat a Hot Pocket. As real as pure evil, cruelty, and selfishness all is in the world, so is mental illness.

These two belong together: One is out of his rabbit ass mind and the other is perfectly content with excusing it at all costs.

She is hoping to be reunited with her daughter, but Child Protective Services is working to have the parental rights severed.

Let us pray the Devil or CPS in this case, places this young child with a more stable (preferably mentally stable) family.
