Jury finds Wis. mother guilty in prayer death — chicagotribune.com
“We accept the situation as it is for now,” Gordon said. “We worship our God. It doesn’t mean God loves us any less. Matter of fact is, he just loves us that much more. We will continue to seek justice.”
Really? God loves you more [...]
Dear Brian Gordon, Perhaps you are confused by the ‘lingo’. The prosecutors ‘forced the case through’ (whatever that means), and turned the place into a crime scene because, wait for it, a crime was committed.I don’t know did about Wisconsin, but I’m assuming that child neglect and murder are crimes there.Including murder in the name [...]
Two families, one has killed their daughter, the other is doing their best to kill their son.
They are, without doubt, fanatics, but…
To the ‘moderates’ who talk about how the fanatics get it all wrong/disgrace your faith/or whatever, to all you people out there who go to church and believe in a god that mucks around [...]
Look, I can’t believe what hypocrites these people are, given that Ms. Neumann seemed to require medical attention during the first day, and didn’t demand that they leave her alone and just pray for her, but…

A day before Madeline died, according to the criminal complaint, the father wrote an e-mail with the headline, “Help our daughter needs emergency prayer!!!!.” It said his daughter was “very weak and pale at the moment with hardly any strength.”
Fuck [...]
Well, the other 3 kids have been removed from the Neumann home during the investigation. What keeps coming up is how there wasn’t any ‘intent’ on the parents part. They honestly thought they were doing the right thing.
Parents who physically abuse their children often say the same. ‘They had to learn a lesson’ or ‘my [...]
They called their church the night before
On the night before 11-year-old Madeline Kara Neumann died of complications from untreated diabetes, her parents did not call a doctor. Instead, Dale and Leilani Neumann prayed over the telephone Saturday with the founder of a religious Web site named americaslastdays.com
So lets make sure the record [...]
One Higher Power: Why does the media only cover when prayer goes wrong
Where is the ABC News report of the higher power saving my grandfather’s life from a diabetic episode based on a “hunch” – a “still, small voice” my uncle heard and heeded?
