Reply to "manslaughter in faith-healing trial"

GK, I never said anything about Christians. I have said religion. Many beliefs are religious. Not just yours.

 

These people were doing what they believed the bible said for them to do. They didn't just neglect the baby they prayed over it and ask God to heal it. When ask by the proscecutor why the father didn't call 911 he responded "I was busy praying"

 

This is religion. Putting all their belief into something with no evidence or proof while ignoring all the real evidence and proof. I think most religious people call that faith, right?

 

Seem like in this forum alone there are several different interpretations of what the bible means in one scripture or another. Bill believes in OSAS, Contendah doesn't. Invictus believes that Mary is sacred and blessed and Bill doesn't. So these people believed that going to the Dr. is not trusting Gods power to heal. In the end every last example is religion.

 

Semi your example of the church you attend with your friend is perfect. They believed and have faith they are doing what is right. Doesn't make them crazy. I might say delusional or weak minded. Easily fooled. However they are no different than any other strongly religious group.

 

I wonder why this is such a hard pill for some to swallow here. Why can you not admit that these people were following their religion by not seeking medical help for their child? Nothing else influenced them. There were several adults present in the house that night and NONE of them called 911 to get medical help. They were all praying to God. So all of them were just crazy and it had nothing to do with their religion? Is that right?
