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.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
