I am not a theologian, but I think this is bad theology. We have free will. That means we make mistakes and we sometimes do bad things. We have a sin nature, and it shows. It is generally not a good idea to look at a broken world, filled with broken people doing sinful things and to say, "God wants it this way. It's part of His plan."
God wants us to be good. But we constantly disappoint him.
It's hard to tell if there's actually an increase or there's a media effort to find them.
Like the "summer of shark attacks" a couple years back, everybody was looking for an answer to why there was so many shark attacks, when in actuality there was no increase at all. There was just an explosion of media coverage.
Once a couple of face biting stories happened, the media now scours the world for more face biting stories to fit the meme.
A year ago, if some drugged out nut in China bit a woman on the face, you would have never heard about it. This year its front page news.
Have the toxicology reports on the other cannibal incidents indicated bath salts or some other new and powerful drug?
The lady panicked, that is why she left the car. Panic is not driven by reason or logic, just adrenaline and the need to get away.
No more yankie my wankie. The Donger need food.
Fasten your seat belts.
“So face eating must be countenanced as part of His plan in some inexplicable way!”
There’s nothing inexplicable about it. God gave us free will, and free will means that He doesn’t interfere to stop us every time we get the urge to eat some faces. Just like your children never grow up unless you let them make some mistakes, God lets us make our mistakes too.
I agree with you 100%. It’s only going to get worse....much worse.
[ Ok. Why is this face-eating thing happening? Even if people are on drugs, why would they all express their rage in the same weird way?
Has there been a movie about this recently?
Should I just go with a demonic possession theory until the virus or poison is identified?
What is going on? ]
Some agent, biological or chemical is causing the higher brain functions in these people to become surpressed. This is causing them to revert to a more primitive state which makes them act like chimpanzees, (remeber chimps WILL eat your face off if they are pissed off enough). Thi is what is happening.
Now for the cuase of the chemical and/or biological agent that is doing this, I have no idea.
[ This sounds almost like the tale told by Kwang Jing-shu in the first part of Max Brooks’s World War Z. About the initial outbreak of the virus in New Dachang. Creepy.
Thanks to null and void for the ping.
Don’t worry. Everything’s gonna be alright. ]
Remain Calm and listen to Big Brother, he knows what is best...
Headlines should have read “Woman left bloody after getting a Dong to the face”.
Sex sells.
The funny thing about eating Chinese faces is your always hungry for more a hour later.
“Sum ting wong, Dong?” Du
Social justice will be achieved in these random cannibalism matters only when the rest of us who are not fighting crazed zombies are taxed senseless.
Death to the white devils, and let a thousand flowers bloom.
I agree. There’s way too much of this going on to be explained as coincidental. I’ve never heard of breakouts of people-eating before.
Your explanation is plausible.
If some cop shoots one of these guys and he doesn’t go down unless it’s a headshot, WOW!
Fasten your seat belts - close
Lock and load! - better. ;-)
I have been wondering about this myself. Check out how now a teen was bitten in the neck:

I hope it is not part of a political movement:
