Letting them die: parents refuse medical help for children in the name of Christ

Letting them die: parents refuse medical help for children in the name of Christ[^] It seems some in Idaho belong back in the Dark Ages. Parents like these do not belong in a modern, civilized society. Let them rot in jail! Why do they get away with these medieval values in a modern society? :mad: Quote: "Idaho is one of only six states that offer a faith-based shield for felony crimes such as manslaughter."
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

ONLY, you mean there are 5 other states supporting that insanity. Give me the Flying Spaghetti Monster any day, at least that is fun, just as irrational but fun.

Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. James 5:15 - And the prayer of faith shall save the sick
Seriously, keep your fairy tales to yourself - in my experience, they are not welcomed at Code-Project. Never in my 10 years of membership have posts like yours been received favourably. Worse yet for you, the tolerance for such material is trending downwards. Do you even know what DNFTT stands for, or why it keeps getting said to people that respond to you? Hint: it's not something to be proud of. ;)

Bible thumping doesn't have a place here, IMHO.

Can we be quite clear at least that these are not mediaeval values. The history of medicine begins in that period with the monasteries creating hospitals after all. The refusal of medical treatment on the grounds of religion, which flies in the face of all scriptural logic* and church doctrine is a thoroughly modern age invention of the evangelical sects that formed in the 19th and 20th Centuries arising from an extreme reaction to the huge developments in medicine and science generally. The practice has always been condemned by the mainline Churches and denominations.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

It is a very delicate Thing. I had to decide one time for my wife, I don't like to decide it once again and yes never never for my child. I mentioned "never": Nobody can prevent me to be in a similar Situation again :( :(

Have just reported them - the name gives everything away showing them to be a troll.

Your situation must have been very tough, but I believe you saw to it that your wife had the best medical care available.

Think I know a fair few medical students who might disagree with that statement, what the monastic hospitals did do was start to apply systemic methods (i.e. consistent treatments of the same ailment which could then be assessed and improved)

If I stick my genitals in a wasps nest in the name of Cornelius does that show your approval or my insanity? As previously stated, nowt in the Bible supports this stupidity. Disclosure: I am a Christian.

You missed Hippocrates[^], Galen[^], and quite a few other practitioners of the art of medicine. Even Maimonides[^] was famed as a Doctor as well as a Philosopher. While their practices were, in most cases, laughable by modern standards, they were honest practitioners of their art. You should not denigrate or ignore their efforts in the light of later knowledge.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill
