The most insane defense of faith healing ever

[AFTT47]

If the stupidity we see in the Republican party was imposed by a foreign power, it would be an act of war.

If the stupidity we see in the Republican party was imposed by a foreign power, it would be an act of war.

It would mean we were already defeated, unconditionally surrendered, and are being viciously oppressed for the sake of spite during the occupation.

[Aoi Magi]

So,
abortion = murder = illegal
child death by neglect = will of parent+god = legal

WTF?????????????

[Minimalist]

You aren't dealing with sentient beings, Magi. You're dealing with republicunts.

It's not like we're only talking about treatments for life threatening illnesses, here. I would argue that those cases are just as important, but the kicker is when children die from very treatable diseases. Children are dying from pneumonia, diabetes, a fucking UTI, etc.

This is fucking murder, I cannot see a reasoning behind calling it anything else, plain and simple. It makes me so angry. Pray away the cold, that scrape on your kids knee, pray away your athlete's foot for all I care. Pray away your own cancer, you fucking nit. But don't subject a child to emotional and physical torture. Imagine what that kid with the UTI was thinking as he was dying!!! "My faith isn't strong enough, and if I hadn't asked my parents to see a doctor for some antibiotics, maybe God wouldn't be punishing me."

Fuck all of them.

“Is it really because these children are dying more so than other children, or is this really about an attack on a religion you don’t agree with?” Perry said.

I posted this in the other thread, but I think this stupidity bears repeating.

It's one of those statements that isn't even worth a rational response.

I love the implicit assumption that there isn't a rational reason to object to the unnecessary deaths of children except the christian origin of the practice. Such a ghoulish religion, no wonder it attracts such arrogant blowhards.

"I'm so certain about heaven that I'm going to kill my children."

"But why do you care what people believe, atheist? It's not harming anyone!"

[404NotFound]

This is a shining example of George Carlin's proclamation of the human species: "We're fucked!"

[Simon Moon]

Curious that none of our Christian members have posted on this thread.

Neither to criticize or condone their fellow Christians who choose faith healing as opposed to using modern medical science.

But of course, they can't. After all, there are 66 NT verses in favor of faith healing.

[Norman Humann]

So, let's get this straight:

Removing a fetus = murder
Causing death in a child = healing

In other news, gays are evil and demons are to blame for pedophilia.

No harm... right.
