... Are you honestly kidding me?

How unfortunate that such a young, innocent being had to die as a result of her parents' idiocy.

[Nosferatu]

BAHAHAHAHA! ****. That's AWESOME. More dumbasses revealed everyday! Sure, it's bad that she died because her parents are complete loonatics, but come on. When did religion ever help?

On a side note, " left at the Neumann home". Come on, that's just not funny.

[Moonear]

How can you be such an insensitive prick? How is it the least bit awesome that a girl died because she had idiot parents?

No, I'm not saying it's not bad that she died because of her parents, I'm saying it's funny because it's another death caused by religion. It just proves my points even more.

[Drizzy Drake]

:), God didn't answer their prayers. Fancy that.

[TheEnglishman]

Well I certainly don't feel like that, but the parents were naive for thinking that pure faith would result in their daughter being cured. Why not get help and pray? I'm sure that wouldn't be a sin.

[Split Infinity]

I believe there's a line of scripture somewhere which effectively says 'Don't test God.' That they could just sit on their asses with their heads bent for an entire month is just insane, religion or not.

[TheEnglishman]

I'm fairly sure that even the most dedicated of Christians (indeed any religions) would see the sense in going to a hospital. How do they know that someone being healed by a doctor isn't God's way of helping them?

[Caael]

I agree with Nos. It's ****ing hilarious, but not that the girl died because of it.

Reminds me of that joke.

A man is caught in floods, and he cant swim. So he prays to god for help. A boat comes along, offers to help him and he replies ' No thanks, god will save me'. Then a helicopter comes along, offers to give him a ride and he says the same thing. A plane comes along and tells him to climb aboard, but he declines again, saying god will save him, so the plane goes away and he drowns. In heaven, he asks god ' God, I prayed for you to save me, why didnt you help me?' and god replied ' Are you kidding? I sent a boat, a helicopter and a plane!'

"The girl's parents, Dale and Leilani Neumann, attributed the death to "apparently they didn't have enough faith," the police chief said."

"The mother believes the girl could still be resurrected, the police chief said."

These are fanatics.

[Laharl]

reminds me of one of my favourite quotes ever

"A family prayed that God would help their little girl recover from her injuries after a twister hit their home.

Presumeably that's a different God from the one who almost killed her with a tornado"

[Ironsight]

I'm with Nos, Caael, and Laharl. And those parants need a CAT Scan.

[Toasty]

The Bible says that God works through many people/things (though not in those words obviously). These people were stupid to just sit and pray. I agree with Me111 on this one. Why not get help and pray?

[Golden Legacy]

That's the point I agree on - it's people like these that help to misinterpret religion. And as mentioned earlier, makes no sense to not try and do anything...

But let's just make it clear, this isn't to turn into a grand religion debate (we all know where those end up). Just a news story that struck me.

[Quacnar]

I think they tried to kill her and the article also suggested that there had might have been foul play.

I agree

Quote

The girl's parents, Dale and Leilani Neumann, attributed the death to "apparently they didn't have enough faith," the police chief said.

They believed the key to healing "was it was better to keep praying. Call more people to help pray," he said.

The mother believes the girl could still be resurrected, the police chief said.

Telephone messages left at the Neumann home by The Associated Press were not immediately returned.

The family does not attend an organized church or participate in an organized religion, Vergin said. "They have a little Bible study of a few people."

I stopped reading at the bold sentence. It was to retarded to read any farther.

Lifey, if you ever get sick, I bet your parents will pray for you. (:


And then you'll be killed quicker. ):

Science and technology are the best things man has created. I have no idea how people can deny their awesomeness.

[Quacnar]

Man didn't create either of those things.

[Sea of Time]

I agree with killercoz's idiotic statement. I think dolphins created science and technology. That's much more logical.

[Split Infinity]

So you're saying computers and modern medicine just came up out of the ground?

[Sea of Time]

No. Dolphins did it with their massive brains. They're so much smarter than humans.

[Split Infinity]

Liar. Dolphins are only the 9th most intelligent animals in the world.

[Sea of Time]

But killercoz seems to think dolphins, monkeys, and lizards are smarter than humans. I mean, how else would science and technology have been introduced to us if not for the genius animals around us rolling in their own poop?

[Quacnar]

Science: Rain, volcanos, flowers, genes, chromosomes, etc. man didn't create those things, but they are all parts of science.Technology was too not created by humans. Beings other than ourselves used tools and stradegies to survive. That is considered technology.

Who discovered the scientific part of all of those? Humans.

Science is the understanding of all those things.

Technology as in digital appliances, not tools.

[Eugine]

Science is the study the natural. Rain, Volcanoes, and the rest you mentioned are natural phenomena.
Technology is debatable, but generally, its use is considered a unique characteristics to humans, although chimpanzees do utilize simple tools.

For the most part, we created both. If you can provide some sources which indicated other species utilized both before humans, care to prove me wrong =)

I laughed at that. :)

o and this to.

[Someone Else]

I am actually pretty sure that dolphins are smarter than a lot of humans. And gorillas too.

[Ironsight]

Don't forget rocks, we wouldn't want them to feel left out, then wipe us out with advanced bio-weaponry.

[I'm Always BROKE]

Proof that God doesn't excists?

I leave it up to you!

[Split Infinity]

Proof? Not really.
