To be honest with you, I have heard very little of the Manson murders. I read up on the case just recently this year. I was struck with perhaps the same question that all Americans are : What could Charles Manson have done to convince these normal women to commit such heinous crimes? That question will most likely never be answered. However, with the recent death of Susan Atkins, perhaps the blogs need to start up again.
One point of interest here, is that Atkins converted to Christianity while in prison. What is more note worthy, is the fact that prison staff and clergy workers attempted to earn her parole. You can read more of the article HERE.
The subject of this blog, is whether there would have been attempts to earn Susan Atkins parole if she had not converted to Christianity. Imagine the story that would have bloomed out of that.
Christianity Helps to Reform Psycho Killer!
The Christian faith comes through again!
Was Atkins conversion a realization on her part that this was her only chance to get out? Was this an opportunity that the church saw to gain more publicity and a positive light in the media?
