14-year-old girl dies after exorcism fails to heal her - Polidicks

[url]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/guyana/7548280/14-year-old-dies-after-exorcism.html[/url] [release]Sangeeta Persaud began to have convulsions as she was drinking tea for breakfast at her grandmother's home in Canal Number Two, a farming village west of the capital of Guyana, the grandmother told the Stabroek News and Guyana Chronicle. The woman said neighbours arrived to help, and a local pastor convinced them she was suffering from demonic possession. After trying to cast out the demons at her home, the grandmother and other witnesses told the newspapers, neighbors carried her to a church, where the pastor and aides rubbed or pounded on her stomach and had her drink lime juice. She was finally taken to a hospital, where she died, Police Commander Colin West said Friday. Results from a preliminary autopsy were inconclusive and no one has been charged, but West said police were continuing to investigate. It was not clear why the girl was not taken to a doctor earlier. The pastor presided over the girl's funeral on Thursday as the child's mother, father and other relatives shouted accusations at one another and at the preacher, the Stabroek News reported. It said the pastor disputed news accounts of what had occurred, but did not say which parts he felt were inaccurate. The newspaper said the girl had been living with her grandmother in a one-bedroom house and her parents were separated.[/release] :Dawkins102:

In before atheists bash an entire group because of the failure of an isolated farm community to take proper medical measures.

Everyday, humanity dies a little more.

:geno:

Well boys, I forsee a religious shit storm off coast.

Incidents like this are really starting to pile up now, I can see the absolute wipe out of religion within 10 years.

Remember when another young girl died from only diabetes because her parents only prayed and didn't take her to a hospital? This kind of stuff is pathetic.

[QUOTE=Adsone;21153825]Incidents like this are really starting to pile up now, I can see the absolute wipe out of religion within 10 years.[/QUOTE] It's been here for millennium.

[QUOTE=Adsone;21153825]Incidents like this are really starting to pile up now, I can see the absolute wipe out of religion within 10 years.[/QUOTE] Religion has survived 2000 years or fuckups, it'll survive another ten.

[QUOTE=Adsone;21153825]Incidents like this are really starting to pile up now, I can see the absolute wipe out of religion within 10 years.[/QUOTE] Within six months.

Jeez... why are there still places where they would try an exorcism before giving medical care?

[QUOTE=Adsone;21153825]Incidents like this are really starting to pile up now, I can see the absolute wipe out of religion within 10 years.[/QUOTE] Yeah everyone's going to abandon religion because some isolated farmers aren't educated.

[QUOTE=smurfy;21153860]Within six months.[/QUOTE] We can only hope.

[quote]While out to sea, a large boat became shipwrecked and there was only a single survivor. This man prayed and asked God to save his life. Soon thereafter, another boat came by and offered the man some help. "No thanks," he said. "I'm waiting for God to save me." The men on the boat shrugged their shoulders and continued. As the man became more deeply concerned, another boat came by. Again, the people aboard offered this man some help, and again he politely decline. "I'm waiting for God to save me," he said again. After some time, the man began to lose his faith, and soon after that he died. Upon reaching Heaven, he had a chance to speak with God briefly. "Why did you let me die? Why didn't you answer my prayers?" "Dummy, I sent you two boats!" [/quote] The damn hospital is there for a reason.

Tell me, if people can be this stupid, than why hasn't the stupid been cleansed from humanity?

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;21153933]Then they will kill themselves off. Remember, the Lord helps those who help themselves. The damn hospital is there for a reason.[/QUOTE] I don't think it's so fair for young children who have absolutely no say in what's going on with them to die because their family believes that a demon has possessed them and thus doesn't go to a hospital.

If God did exist I bet he'd be like :doh:

[QUOTE=Adsone;21153825]Incidents like this are really starting to pile up now, I can see the absolute wipe out of religion within 10 years.[/QUOTE] No, what will happen is that in 10 years, +80% of the world will be athiests, and the remaining 20% will be overly religious people who'll be doing things like these daily. You know, those people on TV who beat up their kids because they said "god damnit"

[QUOTE=Lambeth;21153979]Much longer than that.[/QUOTE] I meant millennia. My bad. You can give me blue checks.

Religion is still going strong in places like the United States, Saudi Arabia, Africa and South Asia.
