[quote] The "faith healer" parents of an Oregon teenager who died due to a lack of medical care will be required to contact a doctor when any of their other six children are sick for more than one day, according to the terms of their probation. [/quote]
This shouldn't be tolerated. They killed their kid and all they get is probation? BULLSHIT! I'm sorry I don't care about your beliefs anymore when people start dying

Here we go
grey areas

He's right, though. When your beliefs harm or kill people there's a problem here.

Here we go what? He's 100% right. There's no way a healthy natural sensible grown-up mind could see what he said as wrong or deplorable.

No. Absolutely badshit evil black area right there son. Abuse and indirect murder.
What? You sick people. It was clear that God had a reason to kill an innocent child! IF YOU STOP SOMEONE DYING, YOU ARE GOING AGAISNT GOD. BAN HOSPITALS!!!!!!!!!!
God bless.
I'm happy for people to do this when they reach the age of majority but it is inexcusable to subject your children to this absurd practice.
Where did I say I disagreed with what he said? I said that because I, and even a blind man could see what this thread is going to degrade into.
I guess what bothers me even more was it was from a ruptured appendix no less...which I'm pretty sure is now days a pretty simple fix
[QUOTE=RusMar;37736369]grey areas[/QUOTE]
It isn't a grey area at all.
He should be convicted for murder and never see the light again / never approach his kids again, he's literally a danger for 'em.

95% of appendendectomies are done without a hitch. Appendicitises are painful as shit though, the kid probably died in agony. These parents are guilty of at least manslaughter.
Ban maniacs that ruin religions from existence 2012 :suicide:
I feel sick. Let me just take a dose of faith.
You'd think that something would click in their heads when pretty much every single story of faith healing on the news ends with "Child x died days later"
Hopefully their appendixes burst and people just try to pray the pain away, this pisses me off, only FIVE fucking years on probation! Sick.
Why the fuck this shit is not banned already?!
[QUOTE=gudman;37737814]Why the fuck this shit is not banned already?![/QUOTE]
Because we are taught to tolerate sincerely held batshit crazy irrational beliefs. :)
Criticizing them might make people upset, and feel uncomfortable.
There aren't enough words in this world to describe my anger and hate towards these people and others like this.
[QUOTE=gudman;37737814]Why the fuck this shit is not banned already?![/QUOTE]
It is banned. Hence the involvement of the justice system.
Someone likely just realized that with six other kids, that ultimately the best thing for them might be to not put their parents in prison.
It is a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. If the kids are put into the care of the state, they almost undoubtedly will never stay together. They would be lucky to stay in pairs, much less remain as a whole six kid unit.
So rather than break them up, the judge likely figured that he could keep them together and legally obligate the parents to take them to doctors.
Making the best of a shitty situation.
Pretty sure the adults would cave and go to the hospital since it's them, but if it's their kid they just expect them to endure it.

but that would mean people would still have to be ignorant enough to think praying would fix a burst appendix, which just exacerbates the problem because now you've got yet more ignorant retards getting people killed because of their stupidity.
think for a minute

Problem is, nuts like these will just wash it off as "not enough devotion/praying/faith" and keep on doing it.

That's sick even thinking about children staying with... that.
Happy to know that this shit is illigal though, that's reassuring. Faith-healing is something beyond any kind of borders, and even preaching it should be banned.

Doubtful. This isn't a scheme to save money

Eh, when is harm enough harm to make the belief criticism-worthy? All beliefs should be criticized if they cause any harm ,little or small.

I think making the best of this situation would be getting those kids to a safe place.
In other words, away from those parents. The parents were already legally obligated to take them to a doctor. Just because a judge told them that doesn't mean they are going to start doing that now.
Seriously, it's clear that their faith in god is stronger than their concern for the well-being of their children. I have a feeling their faith is also stronger than their fear of breaking probation.
Fucking despicable
If my parents did shit like this or if I knew any who did I'd call fucking child support

You are assuming these people are operating within the bounds of reason.
