  • Their daughter died because they were stupid.

  • This is child abuse. Where is the murder charge and the endangring children charge, neglect? Oh thats right, they get to get away with it because they are christian.For a second I almost thought this coountry had a fair justice system and didn't choose favorites. I hope these people die in a fire. And while the flames are licking at their toes they can pray about it. People like this are disgusting. I guess you can just lets your kids die if you pray. Hello USA, so typical.

  • So the parents didn't know their faith was not enough! God expects the one to be healed to believe in Jesus and to make the healing effective that person to be healed has to have faith in healing in prayer & have expectant faith established. If the child is too young to understand this principle she could be delivered. I mean by Death. The parents should have helped her by going to the Hospital not to lessen their faith but to give the maximum opportunity for their child to live!

  • Seek a doctor's help and pray as you go when it comes to children and adults. God can use a doctor to help diagnose and view the dangers and the parents can get God's help along with the doctors. A case like this deserves all the help they can get especially when the system demands it & offer no guidelines for parents who have faith. The system are a bit dumb about these kinds of things too along with Christian parents who are not desperate enough to hear from Jesus on these kinds of problems.

  • @arch37 The doctors are one doing the work, so you are going to say god did it when they did it themselves. They have been in medical school for years, so all the hardwork goes to god. Science researched the cure. Hypocrite.

  • @arch37 The doctors are one doing the work, so you are going to say god did it when they did it themselves. They have been in medical school for years, so all the hardwork goes to god. Science researched the cure. Hypocrite.

    on the bright side theist, she is in heaven, dying early isn't bad for you guys. Eternal happiness for her at last!

  • @DoNotLaughAtMe The doctors are one doing the work, so you are going to say god did it when they did it themselves;;;;YES! God get's and deserves all the credit & glory! He likes to be recognized. Why do you think you are better than God? It's a lesson on humility. God or man's way!

  • @arch37 Fine go with god, slavery, murderous, racistism, bible lover.

  • yea . now at least hopefully the believers realize what non-sense they're believing in

  • This makes me sick... Religion is dangerous and for those who enjoy taking risks and have no care for other human beings. God and religion are for the weak, the small minded people who know nothing about how to open your mind to the world and listen to the facts, for the people who don't know that believing without seeing is GUESSING, not faith.

    This makes me sick to my stomach... That poor girl...

  • continue questioning God and his purpose...you will face him unprepared and you will understand too late. Sorry for you! I see some thumbs down that is cool. I know I will be persecuted for standing up to the naysayers and the God resisters. Not wasting my time any more. Just checked here not any more! Spirit of antichrist right here right now! You will not take the truth that has been presented her but you will take a lie. God pitty you!

  • I would prefer it if you could just answer my questions. If it's all playing out into his will, then his will is that children die because of their parents faith in him. I will continue to question and oppose the idea of such a god.

    I think I lack the blindness that faith provides not the spirit of a god.

  • Spoked just a person who lacks knowledge or faith. You continue to question God. He can do what he wants to do. It WILL ALL PLAY OUT INTO HIS WILL ...THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND ARE WISE AND THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE YOU who keep questioning God and debating final time I have come across people like you. I will do what the bible said and shake the dust off my feet as a testimony against you. What I am talking about the spiritual decearned...Since you lack the spirit of God you will never understand.

  • You are not searching for any thing but to argue against God he will have the last say. I have no intention to come and waste my time with you. You anti-christ... God does not need doctors but he can use them. It is a waste of time here. God will also deal the these parents who neglected their child.

  • If god doesn't need doctors why did he let this girl die? Wasn't the parents faith enough? They did put all their faith in god, they waited until she was no longer breathing to call 911. Should that have continued to wait and pray? Is this a test from god? Why is it always a test rather than an absence of god? I hope that you ask these questions and use your reason and judgement. Seek explanations for your experiences rather than giving up on the truth and beauty by attributing them to a god.

  • @cyrdesign A lot of the time we don't understand God's will, but we don't have the wisdom He has or know all the factors involved probably till we get to heaven or... for some the other way around..Our job is to protect children in any case who are struggling with some illness as they are under God's care but also the parents have to get all the help they can even medical assistance by law.

  • cyrdesign ok God hater. God is all knowing, all powerful. He does not do evil things it is satan who does. Start all the wars you want to. I have heard them all. God does allow things to happen not because he evil but he knows in the end satan will be destroyed and evil with it. It is so easy to blame God for evil. The truth is you are not searching for truth but a reason the blame and hate God for your misery. Not bother sending me a message I will only delete it and or block you from my page.

  • I apologise, I realise that in my last comment I started with the premise that you would be an unreasonable person.

    I did not say anything about evil, I asked why you need to invoke god when a doctor is the one doing the work. If a god was required for healing wouldn't atheists be less healthy or die more often?

    I also dismiss your allegation that I'm not searching for truth. I'm searching for the truth in a reasoned and rational manner. Maybe you would like to do the same?

  • It is truly crazy to say God can not work threw doctors. That would be like minisizing God. He is all powerful Who do think give wisdom,. healing, etc. All perfect and good gifts comes from God. Check it. Just because you go to the doctor does not mean you lack faith.

  • I hate to start a youtube comment war, but I feel that your premise is flawed. If god was a healer, he would be able to heal without doctors, as there is no evidence to support prayer (the exception being a few very bias studies), why not instead of saying god works through doctors. Just give the doctors the credit for being good at their jobs? It really annoys me that people will give god credit if things go well, but will fail to mention him when things don't. This is a case of relying god.

  • WWJD?

    He would have said to every one of you commenting negitively on this post:

    "Oh ye of little faith."

    Believing in God's power to heal is NOT extreme, it's called faith.

  • It's called being a lunatic. It's called being a horrible parent. It's called neglectful homicide.

    Jesus would have said "don't be a lunatic and go to a doctor." God can't work through doctors?

  • Oh yes God can use doctors each day and he does!

  • "Believing in God's power to heal is NOT extreme, it's called faith. "

    Unquestioning faith is ignorant and dangerous. Where is the virtue in shutting off your mind because you want to believe in some fairy tale?

  • Christ want us to use wisdom! please even he had Luke with him and luck was a doctor! Christ is the healer. We do walk by faith he want us to be wise and NOT foolish

  • Christ must have been out of his mind, then, because anyone who truly uses wisdom will become an atheist. You cannot logically say that the kind of behavior exhibited by these parents is at all acceptable or justifiable. They cite their faith as their motivation, proving that otherwise loving parents can have their minds poisoned by faith and made to do horrible, horrible things. That's not wisdom. That's lunacy.

  • Unquestioning faith is lunacy. Pure and simple. Use your mind. Question. Seek reason and rationaity--therein lies widsom and morality, not in non-existent deities.

  • according to my younger sister they went to there church before they stopped going and went to the extreme side.

  • This give true christainity a bad name. God want us to be wise not foolish. He can heal but while we wait on the healing. Doctors are her to care for the sick. They should have used there faith and called someone. God works in his own time. I hope they have asked for forgiveness. God said that it would be better to have a mil stone tied around your neck them for you to offend one of his little ones that believe in him. God pitty them!!!!

  • please, have you no heart? You've just seen more proof of the evil that your superstitious non-sense has caused, and yet you still cling to it? How many more have to die before you and all other deluded devils wake up. Is you fairy tale really worth the lives of others? If so, then I hope you're right, so you are you evil kind can burn in hell.

  • Christ said for his followers to be wise.. Your unbelieve in God will help you judgement day. Wake up!!

  • sick fucking americans..

    terrorists agains there owen children..

  • See, if an atheist let a child die like that, the atheist would be jailed, probably for life. But since these people are just practicing their religion, they get a slap on the wrist and away they go on their merry way. These people should be committed, if not castrated and jailed for life. Their daughter died of something easily treatable, yet they refused her prompt medical care. Way to go artards. Feed your bloodthirsty God.

  • Slap on the wrist? They have ten years of probation and do have to serve some jail time. They didn't get sentenced based on their beliefs. They were convicted of wreckless homicide, not Christiany.

  • What the eff? These people should be institutionalized. Religion is dangerous, this is why I get so worked up about it. Prayer is the biggest joke ever conceived, and it's killing people because parents like these are too stupid to go see a doctor. That poor girl isn't the only victim of faith healing, there are thousands like her that could have lived if their parents weren't idiots.

  • Prayer does work. God just happens to love killing innocent children.

  • ..and did something very, very wrong.

  • Blimey. These murderers have been let off lightly.

  • this sentence ain`t here to stay.

    it is a joke, for sure.

  • And diabetes is something that is so easily treatable. What a shame, needlessly dying in a diabetic coma.

  • These people murdered their daughter and got a laughably light sentence! They dont even admit they were in the wrong after the fact.

  • This is what happens when people don't have or use "reasoning" in their Faith and or life course decisions. The sad part that comes in alongside this terrible happening is that those that do, face the wrath and hate of people that wrap all Religions (Faiths) into one which is most definitely not correct.

  • Poor girl, prayer does help the human soul, but not much the body. These people need to realize God created doctors for a reason. Sometimes people can be idiots.

  • God created doctors!? WTF!?

  • These people need to realize God created doctors for a reason. Sometimes people can be idiots.

    ============================

    God created Doctors? Well at least I agree with one part of your statement

    "people can be idiots. '

  • Where is your god now?

  • We executed murderers in the good old days. Now its all about the rights of the criminals in this once great nation. No wonder its going down the tubes.

  • @Nightrunner529, Nazi executed people by the millions, guess what fuckhead, the earth has to many people not enought jobs. That is why we are in a Global economic crisis. Your time is coming and maybe they will execute your sorry ass. Why bother with rights? anymore in a soon to be Fascist Dicatorship coming soon.

  • Wasn't there a South Park episode like this?

  • So, how did this praying work for you? Not too good foe the daughter!

  • What parents??? those are fucking hyenas, I wish them a slow amd painful death!!!

  • stupid people... don't you god lover's see that god is not real yet?... what has god done if he does exist... so far he's given us a bunch of plagues (west nile virus, bird flu, h1n1 virus) if god really does exist why don't you guys go die.... i think thats what he wants.... But since I don't believe in old tales of "gods" and only evolution, time and space.... I guess I'll be fine

  • I'm speechless. These parents are retards.

  • This is bullshit, I believe in God but God made doctors for a reason... DOCTORZ MAEK YOU FEEL BETTAR GAIZE!!

  • This is bullshit.

  • God created hospitals and doctors for a reason, so if you are sick, please see a doctor.

  • uuuh excuse me, God did not create hospitals and doctors, people did..... are you from earth by any chance?

  • uhhh excuse me, that is your opinion...God gave man the wisdom to understand the workings of the human body.

  • first of all, you said god created hospitals, which is incorrect. We have enough evidence to convince people with normal mind that God did not create hospitals and man did. Now you are saying God gave "wisdom" for understanding human body. How are these two related? Are you retarded? Hospitals and workings of human body are two different things, I repeat, they are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. MAN CREATED HOSPITALS... OK??? Now, coming to the second point, do you have any proof that god gave wisdom?

  • first of all, there is no reason to debate this subject if you don't believe in what is written in the bible because WE WILL NEVER AGREE on anything...God gave man the wisdom of the human body to better diagnose and treat disease, and my proof is in the bible...comprende my liberal amigo?

  • Ooooh Ooooh I got another one, amazing point to counter you retarded moronic reasoning. If god created earth, man and all the other shit, and if God gave wisdom to man to understand the human body, invent medicene etc. Why the fuck did God not give this initially when he created man? Why did we have to wait until thousands of years, while billions of people died of simple diseases. Was God fucking sheep during all that time? Why did it take him so much time to give that fucking wisdom?

  • easy....read the bible for yourself...do you need my help?

  • Well chigon... I am not a christian, do you still suggest I should read the bible? If that is the case, then you are forcing me to accept your religion. You also mentioned that if I dont believe in bible we cannot discuss anything, which means that you are a seperatist, who does not accept non-christians. In essence, you are a mild version of a jehadi. And do you know what jehadis usually become? Take a guess, they become terrorists in the long run. There can only be one truth chigon, for all.

  • we live in a free country, beavis...you are free to believe whatever the hell you want...In case you've forgotten, here in the USA we have the freedom of religion, or the freedom from religion if you're an atheist...i could care less if you read the bible or not...now, i'm just curious because you seem very upset, are you by chance homosexual?

  • Ohhahaa, no I am not a homosexual. But you are a homophobe for sure. You believe that homosexuals are sinners and are not normal. And you talk about equality in USA. Are you dumb enough to not see the hypocrisy in your words? You are not fit for the kind of freedom your country offers you, because you consider people who are not like you as inferior to you.

  • listen, i have NOTHING against homosexuals, they just tend to respond with knee-jerk reaction to any mention of God like you have...you have nothing to be ashamed of, my friend.... again, we live in a free country...if you and your "partner" enjoy shoving each other up the anus, it's your business...

  • Ok, chigon, now we can end this conversation. I wanted to bring out all your stupid reasoning, arguments and hypocrisy out iin the open from your own mouth. Now the entire world will see you and your belief system for the farce it is! You are not in the safe walls of a church where you can blabber this shit off to some losers. This is youtube filled with reasonable people. They will understand that your belief system is crap because they are rational thinkers. May the devil be with you :-)) Bye!

  • two thumbsup with a big sarcastic smile!

  • Reasonable people? lol

  • god didn't teach man fuck all about the human body.... Other humans used to steal the bodies of people that had been hung, and even murdered people, so they could cut them open and play with the dead peoples organs, then they became more and more knowledgeable about how things worked. God is nothing more than snow white or yogi bear, he was made too keep our attention... i just hope one day you will grow up and see this...

  • everybody is entitled to his or her opinion...we live in a free country, right?

  • yes... we're all entitled to his or her opinion. it is a free country.

    what's your opinion on 'prayer vs. medical care'?

    if your opinion is 'prayer', then i have proof that your opinion is WRONG.

    just because you have a right to an opinion, doesn't mean you have the right to be WRONG and spread it to others. being WRONG is not something to be proud of. when your opinion is proven WRONG, then it is up to you as a rational adult to change your opinion.

  • what's wrong with taking the poor little girl to a hospital if she's sick?... God created medicine for that reason.

  • @chingon711, God created medicine now? lets see can you tell me what medical book or school God started. I would really like to know.

  • valhala56, and you must really believe that the us dollar and the fundamentals of the economy are strong, unemployment is not a problem, and life in the USA is grand...am i correct?

  • Chingon711, are you being sarcastic? this is the beginning of the Depression 2.0 that is going to make the 1st Depression look like a Chinese fire drill.

    Just announced today, China, Russia, France and some Middle East countries are going to quit using the Dollar as the reserve currency of the world. Check the news you freak, oh and while you are at it pull out Revelations & read up on the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse, think of it as a trailer for the movie you will soon be experiencing.

  • noo shit, sherlock....tell me something i don't know.

  • Right, I respect that. I thought you were saying it in the sense that all Christians were morons. My apologies.

  • God created hospitals? You wouldn't have a picture or a video of that particular event would you?

  • let me guess...you must be a liberal and an obama worshiper, am i correct?

  • @chingon711 I am so far left I'm almost to the right. No I am not an Obama worshiper, I know he is bought and paid for by the Capitalist PIGS Banksters and Walls Street. So there fuckhead.

  • Hey valhala56: Then get the hell out and move to Cuba and reap the rewards of left wing socialism.

  • Nightrunner529, well since you mentioned Cuba, I am half Cuban and if I could go to Cuba I would. Listen you ignorantant bastard Cuba has survived economic collapse, check it on YouTube. That is not happening in America we are already at each others throats and it's only going to get worse.

  • you heard it here first, folks. obama and liberals are out to kill your children by denying them prayer care.

    let's all just take a moment, put down the torches and pitch forks and AR-15 rifles and bow our heads in prayer.

    ... and while you're praying, could you pray me up a cure for cancer, an alternative fuel source and a boston cream donut?

    thanks.

    one good thing to come out of the past several months: 'obama' and 'liberal' have become synonymous to 'rational' and 'intelligent'.

    :-)

  • i think the public option is a great idea!

  • LOL! I'd love to see that.

  • People have to understand, there really isn't such thing as God. When we die we turn to nothing, hence why we need to found research on immortality.

  • 'All healing comes from god,' although usually in hospitals provided by him, that is if you believe in all that.

  • The parents were dumb, but they have a constitutional right to practice their religion. The govt needs to minds its own fucking business. A lot of medicine these days is quackery. You want the govt telling you what pills to give you kids? Fuck that shit.

  • The question is not that govt telling to give pills to kids, its about some dumb shit for brains parents who killed an innocent child. The child died directly as a result of their stupidity and in such cases somebody has to interfere and make sure such things dont happen again. Their right to practice religion does not justify killing innocent person. Then there would be no difference between a "muslim jehadi" who kills for religion and thise dumb idiots who kill their own children to religion.

  • If the parents really believed in g-d that much then they should have looked at it this way g-d gave us doctors for a reason!!! use them its a recourse of g-d.

  • Thank You For Posting; All a murder has to do is claim they're 'praying-over-the-victim', and then prisons, jails, and mental institutions will empty, and the streets will fill with murderous nut-cases hiding behind religion. Will the insurance companies, with the policies on this child's life, pay these murderous parents by cash, or cheque, or a structured settlement?

    Cheers!

  • Sick bastards

  • some people are so stupid. god helps those who help themselves. why would anyone think its okay to not seek medical attention for something that is clearly so severe?? they shouldve called an ambulance and then prayed. and let me just say that not all christians are that stupid.

  • stupid ass radical christians. i'm a christian to a certain degree, but i find it pathetic that people stop thinking and taking action in order to pray for some spiritual being to do your job for you. these parents should have been sent to jail for improper care of their child and should have been charged on murder. this is no different than if you bled someone and watched them die. utter disgrace, this just proves so much about human's consistent ability to be ignorant

  • "Freedom of religion!" .... how about freedom FROM religion for the poor kid. If you want to choose a religion, do so as a consenting adult. Your children are not your property.

  • wow what idiots. serisouly, even if there is a god how is he gonna heal a girl? Walk down to earth and carry her or something? This isnt about the parents being over religios, well maybe it is. but they are plain stupid. really really REALLY stupid.

  • fuck this shit

  • her parents are dumb asses! stop praying and start making actions! dont trust ur delusion trust ur own logic! even in africa this bulls**** belief make peoples life miserable coz they're pastor says their kids are witches. this is like mythbuster maybe the parents said after this "myth busted!" lol!

  • more religious nuts blaming God for their own failure to do even the most basic human function--caring for your child.

  • Where's you god now?!

  • Now I'm angry at the judge as well as the parents. He should have thrown the book at these two nuts. They effectively killed a little girl.

  • I am so happy that the parents are so pleased that they got off this murder charge.

    Their smiles tell it all. Praise Jeebuz.

  • with parents like that you dont need enemies

  • What morons.

  • They should give her to the doctors and pray for her.

  • This is so sad. Good thing I am an atheist. When one of my kids gets sick I will actually do the obvious right thing.

  • there you have it. praying doesn't help. done and done. argument settled...ok to be more specific, praying MAY help you personally get through tough times, but it's just some "happy place" you were taught to go to whenever life becomes "too much to handle". prayer doesnt cause cures! idiots!

  • parents should get 30 years in jail or a mental institution not 30 days. 30 days in jail is not going to fix thier mental problem. These people are just as bad as all the people who claim to kill thier children because they were possesed by the devil. You don't really see those people get only 30 days in jail do you.

  • so much for separation of church and state

    i guess this shows that religious fanatics have infiltrated our judiciary

    if you are religious you can kill your childen via neglect and just get a slap on the wrist

    religion needs to be recognized for the mental illness that it is

    and there needs to be a law that anyone with mental illness is not allowed to have children and if they do then charge them with a felony

  • Cool, 30 days in jail for murder.

    Btw, the moderate Christians commenting here are hypocrites. They were just following the bible - not half-ass like most Christians nowadays. (Most Christians haven't even read the entire bible)

  • Here comes all the athesists!

  • CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!

  • biotche

  • yes. leave it up to those immoral heathens to dial 911 when gawd's got everything under control. honestly, do you think it takes a belief in a higher power to want the best care you can get when your child's life is at stake? you have to be mentally ill to choose 'faith healing' as your first option. i thought turning to a higher power was always an acceptable last ditch effort. ;-)

  • Learn how to spell you disrespectful jerk. There are different kinds of religions not all are finatics.

  • did you mean, fanatics? i agree.

  • Lol at using his spelling to have a go at him (because you have nothing else) and making a spelling mistake yourself.

  • Well I don't know about last ditch effort, but it certainly shouldn't be the only ditch effort. This is tragic for all involved. I think the sentence should've been harsher. I'm sure they didn't mean for her to die, but it is not acceptable to not provide life saving care.

  • it is truly a tragedy. as misguided as her loving parents were, i do not doubt that they loved her. they have my sympathy.

  • Sympathy? maybe they should have been sentenced to do volenteer work in a childrens hospital.

    This is truly a dumbed down country then this happens with 21st century medicine. No wonder this country is collapsing with this sort of ideology.

  • At least you are more polite than most people who disagree :) But in all honesty, not all of us are like that, trust me. Please don't associate all of us with them, I don't associate all atheists as people who cry when somebody goes to their door singing Christmas carols, I have many atheist friends, and you seem like a kinder person, not one believes every religious person is an idiot. So anyways, thanks, and good day :D

  • lemme give you an example: Egyptology is fascinating. an ancient culture with a complete belief system. we all agree it's just plain crazy by today's standards of reason. it's lovely fiction made by a primitive culture to explain natural phenomenon any grade school child these days could explain to you like 'where does the sun go at night?'. we know it's not real, but we enjoy celebrating the culture's art and beliefs. mummy costumes? movies? i just think the same about the Hebrew god.

  • sad so sad

  • These dumb brainwashed idiots got by with MURDER

  • what do you mean they didn't do anything wrong? they didn't get her medical attention.

    leaving it up to their imaginary friend to 'heal' their daughter was obviously a fatal mistake.

  • god must have hated that kid.

  • What a bunch of fucking idiots.

  • EPIC FAIL!

    and i'm sure they'll explain it away with some BS like 'gawd works in mysterious ways' or 'it's gawd's plan'. *sigh* didn't jebus say something along the lines of 'suffer the children to come to me'? well... i guess that's one way to do it.

    and they want ot teach this stuff in public schools? UNACCEPTABLE!!!

  • >_> Do me a favor and don't relate all of us Christians to the crazy ones....

  • there's a difference? ;-)

  • Comment removed

  • Not because of religion, because of them being fucking idiots and letting their daughter die. When the parents are too stupid to take care of their children, thats when the government has to step in. Sadly in this case it was too late.

  • jail for 30 days.. probation is 10 years

  • oh thanks for correcting me ^^

  • Wow. Way to screw up. Death from undiagnosed diabetes. Something completely treatable and manageable. I feel like those "sentences" they received are weak.

  • They should have the death penalty. And hey, then they could try "praying" after the injections had been given..eh? : )

  • i meant check up

  • if you have problems with it, just tell yourself god gave you free will. now use that free will to take care of yourself instead of leaving shit like this to chance.

  • @MysteryRidahz - you wouldnt hold murdering their child against them? Is it because the sacrifice of your own child to bloody minded ignorance neatly parallels the story of Abraham?

    imaginary gods dont heal people... but they sure accept plenty of human sacrifices.

  • We don't need religion.

  • Hahaha !

    I love watching humanity at its finest.

  • these dumb-asses cost that child her life. let them rot in prison where they can pray for themselves.

  • That's a really nice house

  • poor girl! stupid parents should be executed.

  • Ouch.
