Religion makes the stupid, part #32498

So a girl dies of undiagnosed diabetic ketoacidosis because her parents decided to play mumbly-peg with the magic man in the sky instead of doing like God told them and helping themselves...to commonly available and reliable medical treatment. However in this case, they aren't getting the standard "Christian Get Out Of Jail Free" card, normally given in this country to anyone who belongs to the right sect, and are instead being charged with second-degree reckless homicide.

Good, and I'm pretty sure that God, such as it is, would approve. Because I don't see a supreme omniscient being saying "Okay, now listen, because this is very important: you all have to be a big bunch of complete DUMBASSES to get into heaven, got that? To get into heaven, you must be dumb. Now, go forth and stupidify."

I just don't see it happening that way.

It's about time that this kind of bullshit was treated properly...with jail time.

Exactly. And this is different from neglect how? Just because you believe in a bearded man in the sky who can change water into wine? Puhlease...
