I ask this in all seriousness. I am not flaming anyone in this post, nor is it my intent to upset anyone (This time).
I would like to know your opinion on choices people make because of their faith.
I will give an example of what I am talking about.
A father and mother had a child who was very sick. I am not sure what religion they were, but their faith stopped them from taking this poor child to a doctor. Instead, they claimed that God loved them and would take care of their little girl. Needless to say, the girl died sometime later, I am not sure how long it took, but it was a while.
The parents were arrested for negligent homicide and they argued in court that they could not be prosecuted because they were following their religious beliefs.
An autopsy showed that the girl could have been saved had she seen a doctor, and that was the last I heard of it, never found out if they went to prison or not. Anyhow, do you think that faith allows for this kind of behavior and
