Do they have a right to kill their children?
This is effectively what they do when they deny access to antibiotics preferring instead to pray for their children? I personally believe in liberty but should parents be allowed to let their children die because of their personal beliefs? Isn't that murder through neglect?

As a humourous aside, I'd like to mention that they don't 'believe' in the germ theory of disease.
Why do any Christians? It's only a theory after all. Next time you go to the doctor with an upset stomach you shouldn't say 'is it flu' - instead ask them what sin might have caused it.

There is this book called " a more excellent way" which tells you all the "spiritual roots" of diseases...It was almost as important as the bible at the church I was attended... leave it to the christians to yet believe the word of another book wriiten by MAN nothing divine whatsoever about it. I suppose it is just as well... according to this book... I will get prostate cancer because I have anger issues and I will get hemorrhoids because I enjoy oral sex out of wedlock LOL
instead of medicine they give you a list of things to repent likethis : " I repent for watching the star wars movie I know the spiritual root of alzheimers and dementia is due to watching science fiction" I wish I was kidding about this example but I am not...talk about looney bin

It is murder through neglect and a parent will be punished if they refuse their child treatment that would save the childs life because of their beliefs.

Christian Science is a misnomer. They are not Christians and their beliefs are unscientific. If I am not mistaken they also believe that pain does not exist. I don't know whether or not that is true, but I do know that pain hurts. Bible-believing Christians like myself believe in staying healthy. However, when we get sick we do not consider it a sin to take medication.
One thing that bothers me about many of these strange cults (Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science and others) is that they turn people off to religion altogether. I don't enjoy being lumped into the same category, but that is how many atheists like yourself see us.

You must be referring to religious Christians and not true Christians. Christ stated that it was the sick that needed a Doctor. And the Bible warns us against touching dead things.

Luckily courts all over the continent are taking charge and stepping in where the parents lack the necessarry intelligence to save thier own children.
If you ask me, they should be taken away at birth and raised by people who aren't brainwashed cultists.
I once knew a christian scientist who's car broke down. I told him "leave it alone, god will fix it".
What a bunch of idiots.

No, they do not have the right & yes, that would be murder.

Sounds like natural selection at work. Do we really need all those ignorant people?
