RE: Girl dies of stupid parents

Yeah, sure. I know what you mean, the law can be an absolute bastard. It's a shame that you ever have to force parents to stop their kid from dying. It makes me angry to think of those fuck head parents at home, making excuses for why God is still all loving even though he gave their kid a fatal disease. Some people have a pretty low bar for "love".
"Oh well, it's part of god's plan." No it isn't. It was your plan to refuse treatment because you are a terrible parent, putting superstition ahead of your child's life. The very worst thing is that this is what happens when you take Christianity seriously instead of just playing at it like most people do.

Why don't more Christians take their own life then?

Her death is being soapboxed as a an afront to humanity.
Our objection isn't that her wants weren't being met. Our objection is that an eleven year-old child is allowed to make life and death decisions with her parents' ignorant blessing.

You see, this is why I like having you around. You are a shining example of Christianity taken to its full logical conclusion.
