So, Jesus appears to 11 year olds in hospitals, but somehow doesn't care about dying children in Africa? They sure would like to know that life will be better after they die.

What would be the point of the little girl being born, getting cancer and Jesus appearing to her in a vision to tell her to die?

Jesus could have easily not allowed the egg to be fertilized, right?

Let's play Predict The Answer.
My guess is: god works in mysterious ways...

Maybe that's why christianity has spread so widely in Africa.

Yeah. The poor little girl died in peace according to her wishes and is a peace now. Shameless.

Shit, if we could get Drich, G_C, and Professor their own radio program with a sufficient number of affiliates, Christian numbers in the U.S. would fall so dramatically Pat Robertson would have a fucking aneurysm on national TV. In time, AF would probably become unnecessary and a quaint memory.

Let's consider for a moment purely the ethics of this situation: the little girl is understandably in horrible pain, and asks her parents to stop the treatment (this is essentially what happened, you can't tell me the parents were unaware of the whole thing).

Now, if jesus wasn't mentioned, would the parents have stopped the treatment? I highly suspect not. So that is the problem, if I am right. Life or death ethical situations being decided by mythology. I hope anyone in their right mind can see a problem with this. It's irrelevant whether the girl really did think she saw jesus, or whether she made it up because she thought it would work. And if theists want to just unquestioningly believe everything a child says, one under intense pain and pressure, then they are more gullible than I thought.

So does the whole world that allows this to happen when we have the resources to remedy this.

Oh, some nonsense about the greater glory of God -- blah, blah, blah. You know the drill.
