Parents pray, daughter dies

What's worse is when they don't find it acceptable to punish the parents who let it happen.

Are you basing your view of millions, if not billions, of people off a small group? (I am asking)

Personally, I'd say getting your hope from an imaginary friend is kinda sad. Lots of other ways to get hope out there

No, but I'm saying if you want to have hope/ a reason to live, I'd prefer for it to be things I can see/ be proven/ more realistic than a book.

Yeah, I totally hung out with Gandalf the other day.

Well yes, of course books are real, but I can't imagine a single book that would make me kill my kids because I think someone will fix them without taking them to the hospital.

Do you also harbor feelings against Islam? How many children have died as a result of Islamic Extremists. And how many more lost parents? All Religions have their nuts. Hell even a great deal of Athiests are nuts. What's worse is when they don't find it acceptable to punish the parents who let it happen. Well. I agree with thinking that they need to be charged and prosecuted for Criminal Negligence. I don't expect Jesus to heal me or anybody else who is sick. Thats why We have medicine. The whole prayer thing is for most something you do on the side. I would never take prayer over medicine.

Simply because its another Religion. Everybody is well aware of those who have died because of Islamic Extremism.

I don't mind Religion at all. When people die as a result of it is when I get concerned.

I might have been raised in it though I have my doubts about the God/Jesus idea (as most sane people do). But the majority of this forum is generally very Anti-Christian and it annoys Me.

I can give you plenty of reasons why most forumers are anti-Christian.

1) Christians run the country. Whenever there's intolerance in the U.S. it's almost always a result of Christian bigotry. It doesn't happen nearly as much with the other religions here, because people come here, because those who do are moderates.

2) More devout Christians want to dismantle or ignore the Constitution. The fact that they are a majority allows leaders to bypass Constitutional law.

3) Christians play the victim card even though they have nothing to worry about.

4) You may remember how many people Islam has killed. Do you remember how much more Christianity has gotten rid of?

5) Christians propagate the us vs. them mentality that makes it so easy for US citizens to want to destroy Islam so much.

6) The most powerful Christian in our country, who is highly influenced by Christianity, has gotten about 100k civilians in the Mid East and 4000 of OUR OWN soldiers killed in the name of his god.

7) Christians (even ones who claim to be moderate like you) pity people of other beliefs.

8) Christians proselytize obnoxiously here. Much of the money they get for missions is spent on creating churches instead of improving the quality of life.

Should I really keep going?
