Faith-Healing Parents Get Probation

[Bingbong]

Do we have any good reason to think they wouldn't do this again if another kid got sick?

I haven't read the newest posts... thread dun blew up. The blurb from the article didn't go into detail, but I have to believe part of their probation is that they can't pull the faith-healing crap anymore. Being court-ordered to see a doctor, or face jail time, which would 99.995% of us pick?

Which would 99.995% of us have picked the first time?

What's a few years in jail compared to an eternity in hell?

[Max™]

Isn't hell basically superjail?

Oh they'll do it again. It's just like how the sun goes up and sun goes down. Like how the tide comes in and tide comes out. There's no miscommunication, but where does it go?

I doubt you value the life of these children more than the parents is the point I'm trying to make. If I am wrong you should start working on the adoption papers.

Know troll, but... I have a bottle of Whisky I value more than those guys value their children.

Anyway, at the very least, the dad should've been condemned to a vasectomy.
Prevent them from having more children to neglect and from spreading their genes anymore.

religious people should not be able to spread the disease of ignorance?

(PhysOrg.com) -- In the past 20 years, the Amish population in the US has doubled, increasing from 123,000 in 1991 to 249,000 in 2010. The huge growth stems almost entirely from the religious culture’s high fertility rate, which is about 6 children per woman, on average. At this rate, the Amish population will reach 7 million by 2100 and 44 million by 2150. On the other hand, the growth may not continue if future generations of Amish choose to defect from the religion and if secular influences reduce the birth rate. In a new study, Robert Rowthorn, emeritus professor of economics at Cambridge University, has looked at the broader picture underlying this particular example: how will the high fertility rates of religious people throughout the world affect the future of human genetic evolution, and therefore the biological makeup of society?

But if they're killing them off with neglect, does it matter? It's like cleaning up after yourself. Sure, it's bad that you have made an accident and created a mess, but that mess won't be there in the near future.

I think this marks the first time eugenics has come up in a BG religion thread, lawl. Stay classy, guys.

[Max™]

Couldn't be the first time, could it?

[ZarakiKujata]

Do churches have prayer related accidents?

Collecting photographs of roofs of monasteries and churches collapsing while there are people inside praying is a hobby of Hannibal Lecter's so I'd say yes?

[Yugl]

The sad part is I meant to say "cover" instead of "have."

[Kerberoz]

Solution: next time this happens with another clown-car-vagina religious family, send the rest of the kids to live with their priest. The fear of gay buttsex will prevent neglect.

or you know, a rational solution can be use the means of communication to raise awareness and educate the people about such ignorant acts, the churches and the media are fully capable of erasing such crazy acts...people do dumb shit all the time, whether it is for the sake of religion, pride, family, science, just for the lulz. its people..and the U.S are masters in media and communication..

every nation will have ignorance in it, you gotta educate and work together for a better society.
