By Nick Squires in Sydney Last Updated: 12:01pm BST 10/04/2008 An Australian man has been imprisoned for a year for slaughtering a pet goat on a church altar as part of a bizarre Friday the 13th satanic ritual. # Sydney Opera House serenades architect Scott Peter Romano, 28, from Brisbane, Queensland, pleaded guilty in the city’s District Court to charges of stealing a goat, breaking into a church and killing an animal. The court was told Romano and friends had been drinking heavily at a party on Friday October 13, 2006, when they stole the goat from a semi-rural property in Brisbane's west. The animal had been bought as a pet for a 15-year-old girl. They broke into a church and slit its throat on the altar in a satanic ritual. Romano said he then decapitated the goat to put it out of its misery. The group drove to a nearby convenience store to buy a disposable camera, which they used to take photos of themselves performing lewd acts with the goat’s head. They then stored it in a freezer. In sentencing Romano, Judge Kerry O'Brien described the killing as a "completely senseless" act which would be regarded as bizarre by any right-thinking member of the public. Defence barrister Steve Kissick told the court his client's behaviour was "entirely out of character", and that he had volunteered to buy a new goat for its owner. Romano will be eligible for parole in August. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/global/main.jhtml?xml=/global/2008/04/11/noindex/wgoat110.xml&CMP=EMC-expat2008 | |

Mat 8:28耶穌既渡到那邊去、來到加大拉人的地方、就有兩個被鬼附的人、從墳塋裡出來迎著他、極其兇猛、甚至沒有人能從那條路上經過。 8:29他們喊著說、神的兒子、我們與你有甚麼相干.時候還沒有到、你就上這裡來叫我們受苦麼。 8:30離他們很遠、有一大群豬喫食。 8:31鬼就央求耶穌說、若把我們趕出去、就打發我們進入豬群罷。 8:32耶穌說、去罷.鬼就出來、進入豬群.全群忽然闖下山崖、投在海裡淹死了。 8:33放豬的就逃跑進城、將這一切事、和被鬼附的人所遭遇的、都告訴人。 8:34合城的人、都出來迎見耶穌.既見了、就央求他離開他們的境界。 | |
