Boy dies after parents try to "pray away" his burst appendix

A Child can reach the age of Reason at 7 years old.

7 year olds still believe in Santa Claus. Try again.

A 7 year old would not be accountable for murder because they can't reason it out.

All I can say is, nice to know the Dark Ages are alive and well and living in the Pacific Northwest.

There's the problem: people think that prayers "work".

That sort of makes God a hired hand, kept around to bail them out of idiotic situations. It baffles me that people who call Jesus "Lord" act like He's their servant, at whom they can just snap their fingers and expect action. They pretend they will accept what He decides, but they always act like they expect Him to drop everything and act on their request.

What happened to "Thy will be done"?

Or maybe this batch really is sincere -- stupid, ignorant, but sincere.

So what's going to happen will happen regardless of prayer? The whole concept of asking a diety for change or results is literally the kind of weak mind set that the church wanted the masses in hundreds of years ago.



In other news, now a "God" is given credit for science? Kiiii. It just won't stop.

If I was the prosecutor, I would have taken them to trial...or at the very least not offered them any deal that didn't include jail time. Their stupidity killed their son. They deserve to be punished.

The real culprit here is the appendix. I mean like what the fuck is it even doing there?

 

[bankside]

I have this naïve optimism about the world, assuming that things will get better over time. I am always shaken to discover people younger than me who are monumentally stupider than me.

And I am also astonished to see the "Oh, haven't we all made some mistakes?" crowd bleating away. No mistake I've made has ever resulted in the death of a relative, or any fellow human being. But this was not a mistake. This was willful ignorance of reality for the sake of pretending that one's fantasies are real, and damn the cost to anyone else. I would not cast stones; they deserve to be dropped out of a helicopter. Locking them away forever is already the humane alternative.

Some religions hate gay people.

Gay people hate "religion" in return.

Tit for tat. It's not real complicated.

Ahh the old "You are angry with religion therefore you pretend it's not real. I can return to dismissing your point of view." Pfft.

If you are set on defending the youth surviving in our country, I can only guess that you'll be starting a thread against teenage alcohol consumption and drug use?

When has any of us ever said "Well, it's either religion, or drunk driving teenagers. We know where our priority lies!" You are inventing hypocrisy for the pleasure of calling it out, and it is transparent and unconvincing.

That religion is flawed and accountable is not in dispute; that it is the thing described in these rant threads is completely false.

You could have seen this as an opportunity to accept accountability and redress a flaw which cost someone his life. Instead we are treated to a volley of hyperbole complaining of nazi-style persecution that anyone dare hold religion to account (I thought you said it was not in dispute.) Your post is just an oblique form of Godwin's Law.

It used to be routinely removed if another operation in the area was being done, but now they don't because if needed it can be used to repair bowel and urinary problems.

That poor child suffered an EXTREMELY painful and agonizing death. He had peritonitis which is an infection and inflammation of the abdominal organs and tissues. I've had it and I can't begin to tell you how horrific the pain is. I was hospitalized for over a month and on every antibiotic they had available. I had a continual IV infusion of Dilaudid for pain control and it was still excruciating. Every time I moved or took a deep breath it felt like a hundred knives were stabbing me in the abdomen. I guarantee that if the parents were experiencing that type of pain they would have gotten medical care but since they couldn't feel how extreme the pain was they let him suffer through it. To make matters worse they get five years probation!? WTF. That mother had lost her husband to an infection. At some point she knew full well that prayer wasn't working. As a parent I can't imagine how you could sit there and watch your child suffer such a horrible, slow painful death and do NOTHING about it. I hope there's a special place in hell for them where they will get to experience first hand how much pain they let that young man go through. It sickens me to think the state is considering letting the other children return to the home. The case worker felt they were "safe". Unless of course one of them gets sick and is allowed to slowly die again. The parents should be jailed until the children are grown and able to care for themselves.

Steven.

I try not to be dismissive of my counterpart's views. Maybe I fail. When there's a substantive critique, I want to be engaging.

I do think it's true, though, that there's a strong current in gay atheism which lacks the sort of substantive analysis put forth by skeptics like you and Firmy. I am content to be dismissive of that tit-for-tat attitude.
