I have my own religious beliefs, just as everyone else does. However, someone who chooses to &quot;pray&quot; over going for a simple doctor's visit, is just asking for death.<br/><br/>It doesn't matter if you are jewish, muslim, catholic, or etc. etc. all religions teach similar things - that G-d provides you with the strength and tools you need in life. In my opinion, that includes the ability to hop in the car and go to a doctor, who him/herself was given the ability to help the sick, who have the tools to diagnose and treat illnesses like diabetes. <br/><br/>&quot;If I cross the street without looking I won't get hit by a car because G-d will protect me.&quot; No, G-d gave you the ability to turn your head two directions before walking to the other side of the road. The rest is up to you.<br/><br/>The fact that they aren't tied to any particular religion just makes me feel like they were ignorant and uneducated, not religious idealists.]]></content><score></score><crdate>3/27/2008 5:25:00 PM</crdate><rssdate></rssdate><atomdate>2008-03-27T17:25:00+01:00</atomdate></comment><comment><id>227127</id><url>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/56001/1/xml_widget.rss#q5</url><title><![CDATA[DerAlt1 @ 3/27/2008 5:20:32 PM]]></title><content><![CDATA[&#9834;&#9835; Always look at the bright side of life &#9834;&#9835;]]></content><score></score><crdate>3/27/2008 5:20:32 PM</crdate><rssdate></rssdate><atomdate>2008-03-27T17:20:32+01:00</atomdate></comment><comment><id>227084</id><url>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/56001/1/xml_widget.rss#q4</url><title><![CDATA[bevissimo @ 3/27/2008 4:29:32 PM]]></title><content><![CDATA[I am glad the article made firm that the parents aren't tied to any particular religion, just braindead zealots on their own.]]></content><score></score><crdate>3/27/2008 4:29:32 PM</crdate><rssdate></rssdate><atomdate>2008-03-27T16:29:32+01:00</atomdate></comment><comment><id>227082</id><url>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/56001/1/xml_widget.rss#q3</url><title><![CDATA[coldbladed @ 3/27/2008 4:27:50 PM]]></title><content><![CDATA[<div class='qp pad d'><a class="page-dull td" href="/braindead/l/56001/1/#q2"><b>&laquo;</b></a>&nbsp;<i><b>chordpiano</b> : UNBELIEVEABLE....that is just wrong!<br/><br/>It takes all kinds I suppose...I hope the parents pay for their stupidity!</i></div>Why would they, clearly God wanted her to die.
