Nice Work Jesus....ya scumbag.

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.

If you want proof prayer doesn't work, cases like this are it.

I like that they're going for first degree murder and not thi manslaughter bullshit

First, they did not pray hard enough.

Secondly, God only answers 'Murican prayers.

The truly heartbreaking part of stories like this is that kids being abused likely trust their parents, and have been so indoctrinated in religious cow flop that they just KNOW mummy and daddy and Jesus are going to make them better.

Parents like this need to be paraded round the public square on a daily basis, being forced to carry a sign reading, 'I murdered my child for Jesus.'

Nah, this is a special kind of stupid. Most christians at least have the common sense to send their kids to the hospital, or give them over the counter medication before they start praying. My sister and husband are religious, but they do make sure their daughter gets her allergy medication.

This hits particularly close since I'm a diabetic (albeit with my numbers usually going pretty high all the time rather than dangerously low).

Fucking religion.
