Casualty of faith healing - Madeline Neumann

Hi Everybody!This is one of the problems I have with religion. Parents and adults can follow their religion/faith all they want; I don't care.But once they step over the boundary and not only indoctrinate their children, but also force them to blindly follow beliefs that could harm them (like this), then I have an issue with it. Minors are not their parents' religion. They are their own people and can make their own faith-related decisions. Richard Dawkins - WikipediaSorry it's Wiki.........

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

I'm a polyatheist - there are many gods I don't believe in

In my opinion, parents should have the final say unless their choice would harm the child in any way, whether mentally, psychologically, or (especially) physically, as in this case. Any parent who would put religion ahead of their child's welfare does not deserve to be a parent.

In theory, yes; but when you try to put it into play, you will have religious parents suing on account of their children being tortured in hell or some such crap on account of being allowed to live. Then you get into that whole "separation of church and state" thing again; you have to define it over and over again to those modern bigots who demand their views made into law.
