Judge refuses to return child to Ore. parents
July 16, 2010 at 2:59 pm
The Followers of Christ church are at it again. At least a judge stepped in for now. I hope, for the child's sake, they don't give her back to the parents.

Again, if these douchebags want to pray themselves into an early grave that's fine with me. But when they try to kill their kids that's going way too far with their bullshit.

Again with this 15th century nonsense. Don't these people ever grow up? They probably don't have a car or electricity either.

There're always at it. That's why there is so much conflict between reasonable mature people and these batshit crazy delusional, shit for brain, brain cell lacking bastards.
I couldn't give a damn if they spent their whole lives in delusion but to bring their kids into it is just wrong. Delusional fools who can't grow up.
Just came back from my week in clacton. So many hot girls! Wow! Eyed up a few and I got eyed up on too! Anyway, great to be back.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

It seems you've got a bit of a one-track mind Ace.
As for the story, I think it shows the stultifying power of religion and a lack of critical thinking, rather than that the parents are cruel or neglectful. Maybe I'm wrong, but you have to be nuts to treat your child like this.

Haha, no shit. Girls girls girls! I love em! One managed to stop me breathing by sitting on my face too hard. God I love em. They can be so naughty! Saw one lass in claction with two very sexy legs! Wow they looked good. She probably could strangle an elephant with them.

Aye. They would gamble their own children's lives on their delusional beliefs. They can refuse treatment for themselves but not their kids or anyone else! That's just sick.
Religious beliefs are personal beliefs. It's all it is and so shouldn't be used to determine medical treatment, make rules/laws, influence the government, education or anything else. Because It's just a belief. Nothing more.

5 years later, talking to the parents who adopted her:
"Well honey, you're blind because instead of going to a doctor, which would have had you healed in no time, your delusional parents went the cheaper way, asking their fictional deity to cure you. It didn't pan out. Sorry, dear."

When my son was born, I hired a lawyer to write my will (and my living will) to make it as clear as possible that my mother is not to have custody of my son or be the one to make decisions regarding my son. It's a concern of mine because my mother in law has a physical disability, so the people we have chosen to be his guardians are not related to us by blood, but rather by something that actually matters. The law however, tends not to see things that way, which is why we hired the lawyer instead of trying to do it ourselves.
You see, if my mother were in charge, and the person she was guardian of was in need of a blood transfusion or organ replacement, the person she was guardian of would be forced to go without unless they were of sufficient age to make their own wishes clear. And in a bit of cognitive dissonance, if the person my mother was guardian of was injured in such a way as to render their quality of life non-existent and leave them dependent on a machine for basic bodily functions, if not left in a full persistent vegetative state, my mother would do everything she could to ensure they clung to existence as long as possible.
It is appalling to see a parent so brainwashed they would genuinely refuse to look out for their child's best interests.
