MAybe they just know a little bit more about religion than you heathens do!
Deuteronomy 21:18-21 - "If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son.... bring him unto the elders of his city.... And all the men of the city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you..."
"stubborn and rebellious" here is, she disobeyed God. "son" translates into child, child being the child of God.
