The Government has acknowleged the existance of God????? ![]() ![]() those links are exchanged everyday and printed on all the U.S. currency and that is how the government has acknowledge the existence of God and even saids that it trust God .. so if the government encourage this trust in God then why shouldn't the parents Yes, I posted that too hastily. I imediately thought of the Declaration, & should have remembered the dollar. I am not as sharp on my debating skills as I once was, & the brain is a bit slower than 20 years ago. I do have an open mind however & enjoy this type of discussion. I am sorry that it started over such a tragic incedent. |

The article says that the father started CPR & they called 911 but not until after she stopped breathing. Does this show that they did not really believe in lack of interferce with God's will? I would argue that it does if I was on a jury. it shouldn't make a difference if the doctor was a skilled surgeon ..the government has acknowledge that the parents have a right to practice their religion .. |

this weakens their freedom of religion argument
""""The family does not belong to an organized religion or faith,"""" |

adj4u Would belonging to a church make thier belief more or less valid? I think not. It may give more witnesses to what they have said in the past about thier beliefs, but If I were to accept the idea that belief in faith healing was a valid argument I would not put that stipulation on it. Belief is personal & very hard to prove or disprove.

Funches at what point do you draw the line? What about the forced marriage/polagimist cases?

in the eye of the court
they should stand the scrutiny of the doubt of their belief and if they can not hold up to said scrutiny then their argument is void anyone can say religion after the fact as a defense but that does not make the defense valid i said it weakens their defense not takes it away read my first post on this page |

Dosn't a parent have the responsability for a childs health until age 18 also? and who is to say what type of health care is proper after all they only PRACTICE MEDICINE I always say that also! ![]() I would think that they would try everything humanly possable, & dosn't Christianity also expect some type of personal responsabiliy? The father at least had to be somewaht intelligent & educated to be a police officer, also trained in first aid. |

Nice of you to say so, but I am very, very rusty. I am mostly lurking in these types of thread to gain confidence before making a fool of myself, but this one really got to me. I had to dig it up & then felt I could not just watch.

but if you recall abraham was sent into the wilderness to offer a sacrifice unto god and the only one that he had was issac until god provided another
there are many ways this can play out but i am doubtful of their belief but it is better 10 guilty go free than one innocent be punished |
