I don't know how one could possibly defend such behavior. Sickening.

Cases like this, and studies like the 2006 STEP study.
Although, who needs science when you have faith?

Most?

What the actual fuck.

I mean, come one. "Nine out of ten of Christians don't allow their children to die from treatable illnesses because they believe in magical bullshit."

What kind of defense it that?:

I think he's pointing out that the attacks on religion don't necessarily apply to all religious folk. It's a fair point, not a defense of the parents in question.

Refusing to obtain medical treatment for a desperately ill child is no different than putting a bullet in that child's brain.

It means it's less about christianity, and more about the mental health of those doing the extreme things.

Hard to tell when children are desperate if they are comatose. Oh look dear, jesus is letting him rest. All is well.

Basic flaw, treating children like property.

You've chosen to blame mental illness for the death of this child. Given the promises that Jesus made regarding the efficacy of prayer, why must one be insane to believe that the creator of the universe could be compassionate enough to spare a child from suffering and death?

And given an omnipotent and omnibenevolent God, why on earth should mental health be a contributing factor to suffering in the first place?

Can you imagine being a termintally ill Christian child? Being helpless to determine your fate, beset by pathological infirmaties while the adults in your life placate their emotions with the most infantile, asinine bulltshit, insensitive to your suffering?

I can't even say what it would like to do to those losers. Belief in God is a mark of shame.

Quote:Diabetic 15-year-old weighing 37 pounds dies after parents choose prayer over insulin

Quote:Emil and Rodica Radita are on trial for first-degree murder after their son, Alex, died in 2013 from what prosecutors say were the effects of his parents’ refusal to seek medical care and rely on prayer and home treatment instead.

Alex was diagnosed with diabetes as a 3 year old. The condition can be controlled by monitoring blood glucose levels and giving insulin. But his parents believed that doctors caused the condition by treating him for it and left his diabetes untreated.

It would have been kinder to shoot him.

With parents who look like this he's better off dead.
