Congratulations. You're the second poster today wondering why people are upset/angry over TWO KIDS being dead.

Were I the tin-hat type I'd wonder if all the fundamentalists were being sent a memo that told them this is no big deal and to question why anyone is angry. One guess: Two kids are dead, dead, dead. Point fingers at the fundamentalism. Not at the people who are calling out the parents, and the belief system, that lead to this.

THIS is the danger of fundamentalism in any religion.

So is it an attack on one set of idiot parents or a whole religion? Because we all know you lefties will want to defend Christians as much as Muslims. Wait no you don't LOL

You just made that up, as I never even implied it, much less said it. Careful, credibility is a hard thing to earn, and that's an easy way to lose it.

I don't hate Christians. I hate ignorant people. I have many Christian friends. After all, according to you, 250 million people in this country are Christian.

Any Christian that I know takes their kids to the doctor and prays. They don't just pray for the child to get better.

I stated the other day that I would appreciate if religion "phased itself out", and I mean that. But I also hate ignorance, so I felt I needed to speak up and defend Christians or the funamentalist devout Christians, because a handful of cases a year, of any religious denomination, is pretty ****ing rare, amirite?

Wow! Just wow!

According to Ramdomguy, there is nothing to see here folks. Those Christians, who let their children die by denying them medical care, are "not that common!" Go look at the deaths by lightening instead. (BTW, isn't death by lightening considered to be a death by a god?)

No, I'm saying the OP (YOU), is misrepresenting this event and its commonality in an effort to bash a certain faction of people for your own selfish, anti-religion agenda.

I said it was sick and wrong, but my point was that you are a liar. But now, you are a liar and a poor reader.

Control freaks would love to use the odd isolated incident to make easier to take children from parents and have their beloved state raise them. And yet so many of them support state sanctioned baby killing.
What a creepy hypocritical lot.

What have I lied about? And, what makes you so angry?

Look, nothing makes me feel worse than a child slowly dying while hearing his parents chant instead of helping.


Regardless of the religion, this practice stems out of ignorance that comes from religious indoctrination. If I was a religious person, I would go to hell before I would standby while a child of mine suffered and slowly died!
