American man prays to god rather than taking daughter to the doctor. Daughter dies.

[Nekomata3]

I really am starting to feel sorry for the decent Christians out there, what with people like this man not using common sense. I don't mind if he prays, it's the fact he fucking didn't decide to do anything else to help her, like have her receive some fucking medical care.. The chances of praying to a god and expecting a miracle from just that, not doing anything else; is extremely fucking slim now.

Fuck, waking up to news of humanity's stupidity isn't a good thing.

[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;16746896]Look, doriol, it's obvious that you're not willing to listen, and that you're just going to pick parts of my post to talk about so that you can criticize me for what i believe. I'm not just some religious bigot who believes that god is all-powerful and that other people should be my religion. hell, I'm all for Same-sex marriage, abortion, and other things. because even though i've been told to hate things like that from religious leaders, i've learned to ignore such people and believe what it says in print; To give to caesar what is caesers and to god what is gods.

The interpretation [B]I[/B] got out of that is that you should sperate church from state.

And just so you know, Doriol, if someone tries to convince you to convert to ANY religion, keep in mind that it's because they really care about you, and they believe that if they don't help, you will face consequences.

In fact, you don't even need to Be a good christian to go to heaven. Hell, you don't even need to believe in GOD! If you are a good person, you feel remorse for things you do, and you can reason things out in an arguement, you will have a happy afterlife.

Now, I hate to sound like i'm trying to convert you, but even if you don't believe that in an afterlife, wouldn't you feel a hell of alot better if you actually LISTENED for once, and tried to be a better person by adopting morals?

If not, then I'm just going to drop the conversation right here, because you're not listening, you refuse to listen, and you are a lost cause.[/QUOTE]

Where the hell does this really thick idea that atheists don't have morals come from.
seriously, quite a few ethical theories utterly reject the idea of God governing morality

Don't lose faith in humanity. It's faith in god that caused this.
