I am guessing either they did not pray hard enough or to the wrong God.
I feel sorry for the child that suffered. I am wonder why they were able to keep their second child?

Stupid people like this are allowed to have kids and kill them, but gay couples are not allowed to legally adopt?

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Fucking idiots, if your baby is ill, you don't take him to your GP and he dies, I say it's voluntary! 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I tend to be against forced sterilization, however, in instances like these, I'm willing to make an exception. Won't take your kid to the doctor for simple antibiotics? No more kids for you.

I think prayer is pretty much the republican alternative health care plan: pray to god you don't get sick.

This train of thought needs to be weeded out of society.

I make it a point to try not to leap to kneejerk bursts of indignation over things like this (not saying that anyone here has, just setting out my stall). With that out of the way, I do admit to a certain anger that there are people around who seem to think it's acceptable to put their kids at risk like that. It's made more acute since I personally know parents who, because of an overzealous Social Services regime of having to meet adoption targets, have had to go through the trauma of having their kids literally snatched from them and absorbed into the care system. Not to mention those like my sweet Sam and I who were never even allowed the chance to have children of our own. I apologise if I come across as bitter.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

These people have a total of 7 children. Well, 5 now that they have managed to kill off two of them.

Looks like the article says they have 7 children left after the two deaths.
Hey, why get worried about one of the kids dying? After all, you can always make another one, right?
