A Minnesota man was sentenced to more than 33 years in prison for stabbing his wife to death during a Bible study session.

Robert Castillo, 41, who pleaded guilty in March to second-degree murder, apologized in court Friday for killing his wife, Corinna Woodhull, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported. They had been married about two years and have five children, who are now ages 11 to 24.

Castillo’s sister told police she hosted a weekly Bible study at her St. Paul home. On the night of March 21, 2023, the couple was sitting on a couch when Castillo whispered something in Woodhull’s ear. After she shook her head “no,” Castillo pulled out a hunting knife and stabbed her multiple times, until his own family disarmed him.

Has anything good ever resulted from Bible study?

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 47 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I got laid once.

looking back... its probably a good thing that we used protection.

[–] xkbx@startrek.website 29 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Just a quick safety PSA, bibles are only good for protecting against Judeo-Christian demons. I always recommend keeping an oonusa for yokai, a copy of Bhagavata Purana for preths, etc

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Naw. I've yet to meet a demon that can withstand the power of disbelief. that's why I keep a copy of A Brief history of Time

I prefer the My armor is contempt. My shield is disgust. My sword is hatred. Path. You won't hersey here!

My dad, who was only vaguely theistic but had a very good knowledge of the old (and new) testament used to go to Torah study and argue with the Rabbi whenever a point of contention came up.

It resulted in good entertainment for my mother.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

sounds like a fun time.

I love a good debate. (like. not an angry debate, but a seriously good discussion.)

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It would definitely not have been angry. They liked each other. The Rabbi came over for dinner all the time and stuff. It was weird, his religion was only vague deism and my mother is an atheist but they both got super involved in the temple in their old age, long after I had moved away. My father is no longer with us, but my mother still goes every week. She was even president of the temple for a while. But if you asked her, she would say, "I don't believe in any of it."

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I definitely get it. There's a distinct lack of 3rd spaces, which is necessary for finding community.

also, wasn't saying it was angry, just... saying I love a good discussion. I totally get that. Props to the rabbi, too,

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I didn't think you were, no worries.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I would watch at least an hour of this on YouTube

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I would too. I only heard about it. He was a professor, so he knew how to argue.

Besides not kink shaming for beastality and taking large loads, bukkake maybe(?), no.

One day I too will have emissions like a horse

Side note - some kinks deserve to be shamed

[–] Thetimefarm@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

I have emissions like a horse but only because I eat an equivalent amount of fiber.
