Click here for Article That Prompted Sean's Blogpost:

It is stories such as this that make me madder than mad!  At the end of the article, the dad says; "We did the best we could for her'  at least, I think that is what I read before getting hotter than hot!

It is cases such as this that cause people to point at any and all religion as nothing but a bunch of superstion and whuey!  If your child is sick, you take her to the doctor. So they can find out what is wrong and take care of the problem.  What they did, in my opinion, was inhumane and it was done towards their daughter no less.

Anyone who believes this way and/or teaches this way should be "horse whipped" and worse! 

As far as your post, goes Sean, this incident doesn't prove anything you said.  Not everybody believes what you stated.  Yes, there is a God, and yes he had a plan for mankind in the beginning!

That plan  was hijacked by Satan, another being you don't believe in.  We are not in God's world here.  Satan is the prince of this world, and he is the author of sickness, and famines, disease, murderous acts, bombings, genocide, rapists, the list goes on of all the atrocities of mankind and ignorance and superstition.

Satan was part of God's plan, while he was part of God. But, he lost that standing when he chose to "fall".  Now he is a fallen angel and the bible says he took a third of the angels with him, he was cast back down to earth, and this is his domain. 

 We true followers of God are just pilgrims passing through, on our way home. While we are here, we give aid those who are in need, and minister to the brokenhearted....

Jesus said in his word, that this was not his kingdom, nor was it God's kingdom.

God uses individuals who have dedicated and consequated their lives to him.  Those who seek his will and do it.  I am not referring to those who say they are following him and doing his will, because God doesn't put guns in little kids hands, he doesn't drop bombs on innocent people, he doesn't cause earth quakes and other natural disasters.  He doesn't do any of those things.cause earth quakes and other natural disasters.  He doesn't do any of those things.  The bible says by their fruits ye shall know them. If anyone is doing these things, they are not of God.

What he instructs his followers to do is to follow him, and to love God, and their fellowman, to seek righteousness, to help the needy, to minister to the poor, to live the kind of life that brings glory and honor to God.

What this family did didn't bring God any honor, it gave yet another cause for non-believers to stand back and look at believers and accuse us, and they are right in their accusations, if this is the way we choose to conduct ourselves.

I think what these parents did was very wrong, and there will probably and rightly so will have far reaching consequences until everyone starts using a little common sense with their beliefs!....
