In this special episode of The Bad Roman, we take an atypical yet gripping detour into the sinister world of true crime, religious beliefs, and their troubling convergence. Cristy Ramos, the voice behind the budding podcast Cristy's Chronicles, where she discusses the finer details of real-life crime stories. Having worked in law and health insurance, she has deep knowledge of how the system functions. Cristy offers a fresh perspective on understanding the motivations of criminals and how the government deals with them.   In this conversation, we explore both infamous and lesser-known cases like those of Casey Anthony and Israel Keyes. With a past rooted in Christianity, Cristy offers an enlightening perspective on how religious upbringings and interpretations of scripture can intersect with and potentially influence criminal behavior. Even though we're talking about True Crime, this topic helps us, as Bad Romans, understand how the government catches and punishes criminals, and if our justice system is doing a good job. It challenges us to think about what ‘No King But Christ’ means when faced with horrendous acts, how do we punish people in a voluntary society?  Conversation Highlights: The role religion can have infamous crimes. The trial of Casey Anthony and the unanswered questions. How serial killer Israel Keyes planned his crimes and whether his religious upbringing had any role. The impact of crime on society and how the government responds, like in the case of Memphis. How common people and technology can help solve old mysteries. Fun topics like ghosts, UFOs, and conspiracy theories in our real-life crime chat. Whether we're studying about criminals or pondering over statism, The Bad Roman is always here to help you learn and think differently. Join us for this episode and others as we continue to explore what it means to live as a follower of Jesus in the 21st century, Christians’ entanglement with political forces around the world, and the mystery of being alive that intrigues us all.   Connect with Cristy: Cristy’s Chronicles Podcast – website, Apple Podcasts Facebook Page Discord  Instagram @cristys_chroniclez Email: [email protected]   Starting Points: 00:00:02 Exploring True Crime and Religion 00:03:45 Understanding the Causes of Disturbing Behavior 00:09:59 Mother's Emotion in Crime Case Perceptions 00:09:59 The Casey Anthony Murder Trial 00:15:12 Casey Anthony 00:22:20 Israel Keyes and Serial Killers 00:23:33 Israel Keyes' Different Christian Church 00:29:45 Serial Killer's Moral Code and Restrictions 00:35:08 Serial Killers and Gang Violence 00:36:27 Questioning Cobain's Death and Investigative Biases 00:38:37 Cults and the Death Penalty 00:44:15 Serial Killer's Revelations and Suicide 00:48:29 Crime Impact, Role of Government 00:53:50 True Crime and Victim's Families 00:56:17 Conspiracies, Crime, and Paranormal Exploration 00:59:62 True Crime Podcast Halloween Plans 01:06:25 Impressive Crime Podcast With Learning Opportunities.   For more on this episode and The Bad Roman Project: For Full Show Notes: https://www.thebadroman.com/show-notes/episode-101 Blog submissions: thebadroman.com/contribute-to-the-blog Connect with us on social: thebadroman.com/social-links Want to get more involved?
