Toss aside the easy hindsight with which you've been excusing every bad behavior that has been linked in this thread, and actually give a cogent argument now. It's pretty easy to be you in this discussion, when nobody else knows more than the vaguest details about what your position here actually is.
My position is that because she had a lethal condition, that the parents, who are closest to the girl and her situation and needs, make an appropriate decision for treatment. This was not murder or suicide, but death from a natural cause. Now would you answer my question to you? Why is okay for an adult to avoid excruciating procedures and let a disease run its course but not to allow a child that option? Why is it okay not to put your dog through painful chemo therapy that could save his life, but it's not okay to do that for your child?

If you still want to really believe jesus was involved, you have to accept that he's an utter failure at everything. Everything about this story stinks. The fact that theists are trying to defend the parents' actions is beyond me.
Why is God a failure here? Obviously he wanted her to be finished with the suffering and come home.
