I would not have done what he did, but if he was sincere, he had every right to do it. God gave him the child, the state did not.

I had to read that a few times.

You are one sick richard. Oh, and it is personal.

These are the agonizing borderline cases. As another commented, the parents might have gone scott free if the daughter had simply died in bed alone, without prayer, the parents thinking her asleep.

I come from core values. I am seriously trying to find a place in the bible where it says to control how others raise their kids.

To be clear, I am speaking academically here. If I saw someone actually doing, right in front of me, what you said, I would almost certainly do everything to stop it.

And on a side note, you really should not be so quick to judge based on a couple of posts totalling less than a hundred words. You may want to ask clarifying questions first. We do something at work called “precision questioning”. And answers that cause you to think someone is a “sick richard” may need to be followed up before you jump to conclusions.

I really like that with the internet we can “monologue” to ensure we state our case even if someone doesn’t bother to read it, but so many people, in their haste to size up another persons position, incorrectly jump to their own conclusions WAY too early.

Just sayin’.
