This site is a goldmine of crazy. Remember last year when an eleven year old girl died of untreated complications from diabetes because her parents thought they could pray hard enough to make her better? Well this site is in defense of the parents who murdered their daughter through their own shear stupidity. The problem is that I'm not sure how to get mainpage quotes off this site without having to explain the back story, which isn't good on a quote. Can you guys help me refine the insanity into beautiful, purified bars of nuttiness? Thanks.

I feel like I need to be dipped in bleach after reading that website, I think the nuttiness speaks for itself without anyone having to do anything.

I only needed to read the first few lines before the nuttiness of that site overwhelmed me. It never ceases to amaze me that there are people out there who think that praying a disease away is more effective than actually seeking treatment or medication for it.
Then again, in their messed-up view, heathen medicine has been developed by Godless scientists and sinful doctors for the primary purpose of rejecting Gawd and persecuting Christians.
The fact that remains is that their daughter, who had diabetes, died from complications of that disease through the inaction of her parents. And no, praying doesn't count as action. If anything, these parents should be charged with some form of severe neglect.

wow... just wow. A lot of people think WI is liberal, but it really isn't a lot of the time.

Severe vomiting and fever isn't "feeling droopy".

I find it bizarre that the site cites the First Amendment's Establishment Clause and the special provisions for Christian Science in the same passage. It seems to me a glaring contradiction.

Severe vomiting and fever isn't "feeling droopy". From what I've read, her extremities also started to turn blue. The day before her death her father put out an email to his friends asking them to pray really, really hard for her. She was in a diabetic coma by then. Even after her death they maintained that God might raise her from the death if they prayed hard enough. So far He has not. |

Seriously, they are comparing the horrific, violent, painful, unjust deaths of early Christian martyrs with people castigating them for their error?
I just... I can't really respond to that. Other than that it's incredibly egotistical and erroneous.
