Stop the Insanity!

June 19, 2008

a journal of nature, 1927-1938           They Simply Killed their Children. I’m so angry. How much more of this are we going to allow?

On March 2nd 2008 the parents of a 15 month old little girl – Ava Worthington – allowed her to die from a bronchial pneumonia and a blood infection. All she needed was to be treated with antibiotics and she would have been fine.

On March 23rd 2008 the parents of 11 yr old Kara Neumann allowed her to die from diabetic ketoacidosis (complications due to diabetes).

On June 16th 2008 – Because he thought his child was posessed with demons …

a 27-year-old Turlock man punched and stomped a toddler to death on a darkened country road Saturday night in Stanislaus County before a police officer shot and killed the attacker.

On June 18th 2008 (yesterday) – 16 yr old Neal Beagley died from a urinary tract condition that could have been treated with a simple catheter that could have saved his life and prevented his excruciating pain. The family belongs to the Oregon City Followers of Christ Church, which disapproves of any medical intervention.

 

Please note the dates here. They all took place in 2008. … It’s only June.

IT’S CHILD ABUSE!!!!

I’m afraid for this country if it has to “respect” religious beliefs to the point that it means that kids are dying and little girls in Texas are being married at 9 years old. Religion is not an excuse for criminally negligent homicide or pedophilia. And now …

Bobby Jindal, the 36-year old governor of Louisiana, is being taken seriously by the national press as a candidate on the shortlist to be John McCain’s Vice President. No one doubts that he’s a political prodigy — his impressive resume includes stints as president of the state university system, a Congressman and now governor. But one of Jindal’s job titles hasn’t gotten much attention — and it just might prompt a few questions if his Veep candidacy gains steam: Exorcist. Source

Now, the ENTIRE STATE of Louisiana is finding it’s way back to the dark ages because the legislature there thinks it won’t be a problem to introduce Intelligent Design/Creationism into the science classroom.

    People do a lot of bizarre things in the name of religion and personal freedom! That being said, can you imagine the potential benefits of having an exorcist in the White house over the last 8 years??? That would be one busy fella.
    p.s. I love, love, love your blog.
