Parents Pray, Let Daughter Die
Link
Basically, these retards decided to ask their God to save their child from a completely treatable form of diabetes, and refused to take her to the hospital. After 30 days of suffering, the girl died.
Question is: What should be done with them? I'm a big fan of the death penality.
...I'm just sayin'...

are we assuming a doctor told them their child had diabetes and NEEDED medication? which is what im guessing
there was also a case in scientology where a mother was murdered by her son who she refused to let him get treatment for some sort of schizophrenia. apparently psychological treatment and all psychologists were evil and so she stood by idle until her son murdered her.
kinda stupid if you ask me, whether your praying to god or xenu. lol...
neways one of the points he brought up is that the things we consider evil and painful etc. are just miss interpretations on our part.
this situation could be viewed as god giving them the child as a gift and more importantly a test of faith, since he gave them the child he has the right to take it back. moreover, I think he went to say something like the kid would be rewarded for his shortcoming in his afterlife anyways and the afterlife > this life so he doesn’t lose anything
as for the parents their real challenge begins now, since they had faith and their child died, but the test is to maintain faith and see that this was in fact gods plan and its not that he didn’t do anything to save the child, it’s that he did what he thought was best for the child which was to reward him in going to the afterlife
bah the argument went something like that...
(personally i think that’s a load of BS but that again im just stirring the pot =p )
With most religious topics though, logic does not apply since after all its dealing with a higher being far superior to us, so maybe it’s not supposed to make sense to our small insignificant minds =P
That’s why its faith right?...we may think we know better than god, but who are we to say? He’s the one with the master plan so how can we, who have yet to even set foot on another planet, say we know better than the creator?
What, you think traveling through space is easy? Tell your 'creator' to whip up a warm apple pie, see if it happens. Oh right it's not part of his 'master plan'. Got it.
just thought id bring up the other side of the argument :P
My bad.
But the thing is, there is no argument when someone plays the faith card. They'll always be right in their minds. In the same way as a suicide bomber will, in their head, be justified in their cause.
i just think that if the author is trying to make an argument.. he should fashion it in a way that others will be willing to agree with him whether they are religious or not.. i can see how faith plays into this.. but i don't think faith is a justified concept to rely upon when our knowledge and rationality tells us otherwise..
btw.. brownie points for being such a competent devil's advocate.. ;)
so anyone else want take a stab at tryn to justify something that ridonculous :P (referring to OP) haha

They're like crappy little pineapples. The banana we know today is the product of HUMAN interference to decrease husk thickness, increase meat density, increase size, and to make them infertile to stop seed growth.
Plus: TOTALLY gay. Completely. Like, Ted Haggard level gay.
