2nd Child Dies After Parents Choose Prayer

LETS NOT JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS ABOUT THEIR RELIGIOUS MOTIVES

It is, (it really is). Although, there is some truth in it....

That's the thing, though. I'm not the .01% (yes I get that you were exaggerating again). I'm not even the 25%. I'm not going to invent statistics but you clearly don't realize how prevalent religious discrimination is.

You also use the term "justified" frequently. I couldn't care less about this argument aside from the statements I made in the first post. I just notice that you make a point to take off your fedora to post in every single one of these threads, and you happen to fit into the part that I bolded.

If you're going to be as, or more, zealous than the average religious person: at least take the time to not sound like relgion touched your no-no spot when you were 5.

Bottom line is, you cannot rank people's suffering in general. As a human, you should feel bad as soon as there is persecution against anyone, not pick who has the highest score.

*Uncontrollable coughs with laughter.*

That's all you had? I'm disappoint.

What has the world come to?!?! now the moderators are contributing to the mocking! lol...

True.

I also can't help but wonder how many people would have been less (or more for that matter) outraged had this been a Muslim couple.

I'm human just like you are. I can exert emotions when the time is needed. :o

We would be deemed racists for even asking questions.

Why would I? That's unfair and that's helping create future hatred between the people who suffered.

The way you are thinking, you'll go help and support those with the most deaths and not care about the ones that had "little" loss. I can't find any other word than "wrong" to describe this.

"Sorry, you are a gipsy, only 500,000 of you died while this guy who is jew lost 2,000,000 of his friends. You aren't worth my time, I'll only talk about him and his people, not you".

Armenians suffered a genocide too. How can you read about WW2 and be like "ok, I'll choose to support this community, they lost more, it makes sense"? A genocide is a genocide, period.

Bottom line is, you cannot rank people's suffering in general. As a human, you should feel bad as soon as there is persecution against anyone, not pick who has the highest score.

Moderators are not humans!!! in any case I was just making light of how you usually come in to shut down a thread when it gets like that instead of contributing...

No one attacks christians because they're christians.

They're attacked if and when they do/say something stupid. Believing otherwise is calling having a persecution complex, which is a common trait many religious people have, especially the ones who take their religion too seriously.

That said, the christian belief is attacked and ridiculed regularly and that is very justifiable.

So no Christian has ever been attacked simply for being the wrong religion in the wrong place at the wrong time?


Some postings I saw on a local news site went something like this:

"I pray for the family and friends of the victims."

"What good is praying to your mythical sky god going to do anyone?"


So it's justifiable to attack and ridicule someone based on their religious beliefs? You sure that's how you want the world to work?

What....? I never said I would support one over the other. I simply said empathize/sympathize more....

Where in the hell do you hear Christians saying those horrible things besides in your imagination?

Here's my issue with your angry attitude. In the last entire thread on the Boston bombing that killed innocent people, maimed many others and destoryed the lives of so many people, I heard no outrage towards the fanatical Muslims that actually did it becuase of their religion, infact I heard defense of their religion. Now over these two idiots that let their own child die I hear you absolutely tearing Christianity a new a-hole. You probably would have hated their child anyway, he was Christian afterall.

Wiles: You know at precisely the same time the Supreme Court is hearing these arguments on same-sex marriage in Asia a crazy man in possession of nuclear weapons, Kim Jong-un, is openly saying: I have ordered our military to position our rockets on US targets in Hawaii, Japan, Guam and the mainland of the United States. He has gone into a full state of war this week. I don’t know, Pastor Luter, I don’t know if anybody is — I know they’re not — they’re just not putting this together. You got this happening over here and you got this happening over here: could the two be connected? Could our slide into immorality be what is unleashing this mad man over here in Asia to punish us?

Luter: It could be a possibility, I’m not that strong in prophecy but I would not be surprised that there’s not a connection there simply because of the fact we’ve seen it happen in scripture before. I would not be surprised that at the time when we are debating same-sex marriage, at a time when we are debating whether or not we should have gays leading the Boy Scout movement, I don’t think it’s just a coincidence that we have a mad man in Asia who is saying some of the things that he’s saying.

A Maryland pastor featured in a viral video saying people who support gay marriage are “worthy of death” just completed two terms on the SBC Executive Committee.

"Build a great, big, large fence -- 150 or 100 mile long -- put all the lesbians in there -- Do the same thing for the *** and the homosexuals and have that fence electrified so they can't get out...and you know what, in a few years, they'll die out...do you know why? They can't reproduce!"

GOD SENT THE BOMBS IN FURY OVER *** MARRIAGE! #PraiseGod

If the belief causes harm and discrimination to other people, sure. :3

an honest question that has nothing to do with the religion flame war going on.

they were on a ten year probation for letting a child die. Why the *** wasn't someone checking up on them on a weekly basis?

I think that's a pretty big stretch but ok. It's not like other religious groups aren't getting aid or anything in times of crisis. Let's take religion out of this example and change it up a bit. In an explosion do you feel worse for the guy that walked away with just a gash on his arm, or the person who lost limbs? They were both victims, but come on man, one person is now without limbs and have their quality of life altered. There are varying degrees of sympathy that don't equate to complete alienation of type of people.

Good question. I can only hope that there's an investigation into why the system failed this child, but the cynic in me doesn't have much faith in the state to police itself.
