Seriously guys, this is stupid. Using your logic I should say "atheism is bad, just look at Joseph Stalin!"
Nowhere in this article does it say the mother is "mentally ill". How can you make a conclusion like that? This woman behaved the way she did because of her religious beliefs. If she didn't believe the religious bullshit she absolutely would have acted differently. So, yes, this death can be laid right at religion's front door. Think about it... this woman is the poster child for religion! She believes this crap so much that she let her child die!
And the Stalin analogy is a poor one. He did not kill people because of atheism. He was a power mad tyrant, plain and simple.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
