SHERMAN, Texas (AP) -- A jailed man accused of killing and cutting out the hearts of his son, estranged wife and her daughter plucked out his own eye and then quoted from the Bible, officials said Tuesday.
Andre L. Thomas was in a county jail cell Friday night when he tore his eye out of its socket with his hands, said Grayson County Sheriff Keith Gary.
Thomas, 21, then quoted the verse Mark 9:47: "And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell."
Thomas was taken to a hospital and the eyeball was put on ice, but it could not be reattached. He is now being held in restraints at the jail, the sheriff said.
Thomas is accused in the March 26 stabbing deaths of his 4-year-old son, his 20-year-old estranged wife and her 1-year-old daughter. All the victims' hearts were cut out; two were found at Andre Thomas' house. He turned himself in and was charged with one count of capital murder.
A judge ruled Monday that Thomas will be evaluated by a mental health professional.

He should pluck out his other eye just for good measure.

I'm still wondering why the hell the old testament is even included in the bible. It has nothing to do with Jesus's teachings and all it is, is archaic jewish law.

Lauren buddy/dear,
Mark is a Gospel. IT'S ALREADY IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. I don't even believe in the damn thing and I know that.
The old testament isn't just archaic jewish law. I'm sure there are some archaic donkey pron pics there too.

In conclusion, Jesus would like everyone to know that He in fact does not condone slaughtering your families, and everyone needs to just calm down and neither the Red Sox nor Cubs will win the World Series this year, because He doesn't like them.

Tame maybe, but you have to admit they have a style all their own.

Style pales in comparison to body count. Religious freaks are wimps.

Well, see, now you're getting away from the whole MURDER thing and into the whole WAR thing...
And sure, you can always bring religious zealouts to the table for mass genocide and such, but then you also have to bust out the complete a******s who start wars for no reason other than their own small dicks... George W., Ghenghis Khan, Alexander the Great, etc etc etc... and then you have to count Hitler on BOTH sides...twice...
Gets messy.
Much more fun to just compare mass murderers. Charlie Manson vs the Green River killer, etc.
