A man who believed he bore the biblical “mark of the beast” used a circular saw to cut off one hand, then he cooked it in the microwave. “It had been somewhat cooked by the time the deputy arrived,” sheriff’s Capt. Ben Wolfinger said. The book of Matthew also contains the passage: “And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for you whole body to do into hell.” ” That kind of mental illness is just sad.” Wolfinger said he didn’t know which hand was amputated.
