re: #18 windsagio

woah, a bit grim there!

For me, its a less extreme version of people who won’t take their kids in to the doctor because of their religion. (Just had one of those end in OR)

Its always funny when you’re talking about your right to do massive harm to your children.

When I was a teacher, I had a student - very bright girl - whose family believed in faith healing. It was painful watching her deal with her father’s death…she was pretty practical about it, explaining that her family was holding regular prayers but that they wouldn’t listen to her when she said they needed to take him to the hospital. She was 15, and looking forward to college when she could ‘escape.’
