Child dies. Parents Perplexed

I just read this. I'm sure most of you all know about it by now - it seems like something that would hit massive airtime on the major networks. If you are religious, close your browser right now. If you think your feelings might be hurt by someone questioning your beliefs, close your browser right now. Last warning.

It's painfully obvious that The Angriest Pharmacist is not a religious person by any stretch of the imagination. When I was a child, we attended a Methodist church. While in high school, we went to a Baptist (hellfire and brimstone) Church. My mother still goes there. I stopped the day I turned 18 -- it was kind of an unspoken agreement between myself and my mother. I wish she'd stop going and come to her senses about the bullshit this guy spews. I wasn't ever Baptized, but I consider myself to be affluent in the beliefs of the church and all opposing viewpoints. Let's just say this, on my census form, I put Jedi.

These two parents, especially the mother, need to be jailed. At the very least, her three other children need to be put under protective custody. Why? She cost this little girl her life because she trusted her imaginary friend more than she trusted a doctor she could see, converse with, and touch. If this lady would have told the press she didn't take her child to the doctor because Satan told her not to, we'd have her ass institutionalized. But, since it was attributed to God, and God is associated with light and goodness, it's okay because her intentions were in the right place. What's the difference?

Some of the worst fuckups in the history of mankind were based on good intentions and blind faith. If you need them pointed out, you're a fucking fool.

I will admit that people have been dying of Diabetic Ketoacidosis for thousands of years. If this little girl would have been born in 1897 rather than 1997, she would have died in her home all the same. The family would have prayed, and she would have died...The issue here surrounds the fact that it's 2008. Medical science has increased the life expectancy of a white female to nearly 80 years (which is far more than 11). But, the thing that solidifies that this bitch needs jailed is that several family members had been trying to get her to take the child to the hospital for days -- and she prayed. Other's common sense had taken hold over 'faith' -- yet, mommy's did not. Daddy's did not. That's because they are retarded.

A mother's common sense -- maternal instinct -- has to exist...right? Nay -- a HUMAN BEING'S COMMON SENSE must exist...right? A child is suffering from nausea, vomiting, excessive thirst, loss of appetite, and weakness for over a month and you do nothing but talk quietly to yourself and hope the child's pancreas secretes more insulin? Did you get an answer? No. No one talked back to you. You sure as shit got a response.

I've heard people say that losing a child is the worst thing that can emotionally happen to a human being. In this case, I hope that's true.

We did learn one truth -- God does not replace Beta-Cells upon special request...maybe she needed a PA?

Some might say to me, you are a faithless piece of shit, I'd kick your ass right now if I could find you. Actually, I'd bet most Christians would -- Christians, at least from my neck of the woods are very violent. They'd attack/beat up an atheist just like they would a pedophile...They would beat a person with the very book that preaches (in part) about tolerance, hope, love and charity. Christians have been fighting and killing in the name of God for, well, about 2 thousand years now...I wouldn't expect much change anytime soon. [Especially now that we have some new 'sins' to fight about!]

Anyway, I would challenge the above statement about myself. I am not without faith, hope, or love [tolerance of others? I'm working on it]. I hold that I have an abundance of all three. I have faith in my abilities, my Brothers, my significant other, the goodness of a stranger -- just to name a few. I have unwaivering hope. I always hope for better--for others, myself, those in need/want. I have hope that the future is better than today. I hope that our children learn from our mistakes, and I have faith that we can raise them to meet that challenge. Love - one cannot work in the trenches without love. Love for the patient seeking counsel or the cancer patient seeking relief and comfort. Love for the person sleeping next to them each night. Yes, I have love...and it is the greatest of these.

You may call The Angriest Pharmacist an atheist, but I base my life and the way I live off of Christian teachings, morals, parables, and principles. I may be more Christian than some of the Christians reading this post...

I just question the existence of one more god than they do...
