The girl died from undiagnosed diabetes on March 23, 2008, surrounded by people praying at the family's rural home in Weston in central Wisconsin. Someone called the emergency dispatcher when she stopped breathing.
Well, you "believe" that you have rights and values, no?Trial Begins in Girl's Faith-Healing Death

Oh look.... Diffinitive proof that prayer works.
Seriously though, I can not fathom how the words "I believe" justify these actions. Why do we have to respect someones religion even if it kills, abuses, or "harms for life" their children?

If I were an alien, from a distant culture, where there was no such concept, (imagine a hive culture for instance,) I'd probably find the concept irrational.
But I dare say you'd cling to it, even if a case could be made that the world would be better off without you.
We all have beliefs we hold to. Maybe one should consider showing a bit of repect for those of others.

Freedom is a bitch:
1st Amendment:
“ Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Though this is tatamount IMO to yelling "fire" in a theatre and over the line.
And the op's religious bigorty is noted.
So you are saying that because of this, that if someone claims "religion" in murdering someone then they can get off because of religious freedom? I forsee a new religion coming.. "The church of Murder".... and the US prison population going down considerably then.
Well that was dumb and not worth responding to.... :roll:
It is? that is what you are saying..You are basically defending these religious scum for their actions because they are religious and citing the US constitution. You cant have it both ways.. either these nut jobs are murders or they are not because of "religious freedom" and if the later then.. well you got a far more serious problem if someone figures out to legalize murder or drugs because its their "religion".

Lets reread it then...you wrote.
This has to be a clear defence of their religious freedom to do what ever they think is right even though it resulted in the death of another human.
And that sir, is a disgusting view pure and simple.. it is not freedom... it is murder. No one should get a pass for using religion as a reason for murder.. we dont give Islamic extremists a pass, so why should we give Christian extremists a pass?
Then you come with this gem of a comment.
Here you change attitude, but are not brave enough to go all the way. You basically say that it was wrong but cant get away from the religious freedom aspect as you pad your comments. You do not say it was murder nor do you say directly it was wrong.. you use "politician speak" like "over the line" and "tantamount".. it is double speak and avoiding the truth.. it was murder! .. over the line. gezz that is a comment you use against someone using profanity against someone or someone going a bit nuts and pushing someone in an argument.. that is over the line.. letting someone die or being directly involved in their death is not over the line, it is wrong on so many fronts and highly illegal.. it is murder.
And then you are back to defending the religious zealots that willingly and knowingly let a child die.
Let me guess though, if a Muslim say murdered his child over honour then it was bad right and you would be all over it? And yes it is exactly the same thing. No where in the bible does it say that sick people should only be healed by the power of prayer, just as no where in the Koran does it say it is okay to kill a person over honour.
I'm a religious person myself but I totally agree those parents should be put away. God gave people the brains to develop things like medicine for a reason.
Well that was dumb and not worth responding to.... :roll:

Sig-worthy. I want to say this every time I read one of your posts.
We all have beliefs we hold to. Maybe one should consider showing a bit of repect for those of others.
Perhaps I should have elaborated.
I condem the actions of the parents.
But I also was put off by the tone of the OP, which seemd to show disdain for people holding beliefs other than the posters own.
