Al Jazeera America did this great report on a big issue in Idaho where followers of the
Christ Church are refusing any type of western medicine for their children when they get
sick and they rely on faith healing or spiritual healing as a result their children die now
they focused on specific cemetery called the peaceful valley cemetery in Caldwell and the
numbers are disturbing to say the least according to reports 70% of these children died after
1972 the majority of which by the way there are about 600 children there the majority
of which died as a result of their parents refusing western medicine 70% of these children
died after 1972 when religious exceptions protecting faith healers from charges of neglect
abuse and murder were enacted in Idaho and around the country if a child dies or is abused
in Idaho law states that a parent can't be found guilty if they believe in spiritual
healing Idaho is one of only six states in the United States that allows religious exceptions
for negligent homicide for negligent homicide manslaughter or capitol murder OK so here
we have another case where religion gets to play a different rules the rest of us have
to follow logical reasonable rules and protect one another and make sure we don't kill each
other or cause the death of one another right but if your religious you throw that out in
the garbage yeah it's OK I can save your live I'm going not going to do it cause god told
me not to do it ah you died so what so what so what my sky god told me to let you die
even if it's your own kid three-years-olds buried there three-year-olds the sick sons
of bitches say oh that what god wanted your sky god is a maniac OK if that's true he's
one of the most evil entities in the universe so you know if that's your sky god perhaps
you know they always talk about you can't tell the devil the devil's always I disguise
maybe his disguise is called god so the government's role is to protect us and they're supposed
to protect children right and I am 100% in support of religious freedom even if I'm not
religious myself right I'm atheist don't believe in religion but here's the thing I think that
there's a clear boundary and religious freedom stops when other people are harmed by your
religion so if you're a parent I understand if you don't want to government telling you
how to be a parent but the government should get involved when your children die as a result
of your stupid beliefs right so when your kid gets pneumonia or your kid gets some sort
of illness that can be treated so easily and you totally neglect the kid or totally oppose
any type of western medicine that would help the kid then you're beyond negligent you're
a murderer and you should not only lose your children if you believe in this if your children
die as a result of this you should be in prison OK maybe that's extreme but there's absolutely
no way that I would change my mind on that you are beyond negligent yeah I mean look
at a minimum it's negligent homicide they can't find the medicine they can't take the
medicine they're relying on you and if you get a religious exception who else can get
a religious exception Adrian Peterson say yeah I whipped my kid until I ripped the skin
off his bad that's how bad I beat but it's OK it my religious can Muslims say yeah I
beat my kids or my wife or whoever within an inch of their life but hey that's my religion
would you agree to that no no no of course you wouldn't agree to that cause their Muslim
but Pentecostals they're good Christians Pentecostals are among the biggest maniacs we have in the
country those are the lunatics speaking in tongues you know you're coo coo for cocoa
puffs you've lost your fucking mind you know that right I mean we're talking about other
religions it was ah Muslims do this and that yeah I object to all that that's why I object
to all the religions but you lunatics handling the snakes and talking in tongues and not
treating your kids when you could easily save their lives you are the worst of the worst
they like to use that phrase OK I'll use it for Pentecostals these are the same clowns
legislator in Idaho do you have her quote I do that her quote go ahead cause I got a
thing to say about so Representative Christy Perry is a Republican state legislator who
is in support of these religious exceptions and here's what she has to say and she sounds
extremely callus although she's saying she's not trying to they meaning the people of Idaho
have a clear understand of what the role of government should be it isn't how to me how
to live my life children do die and I'm not trying to sound callus but people calling
for reform want act as if death is anomaly but it's not it's a way of life no no no it
gets worse though they are comforted by the fact that they know their child is in heaven
if I want to my child be with God why is that wrong that is freakin' fascinating OK so this
is murder right this is definitely murder but you would argue that abortion is wrong
because that's murder right well maybe someone getting an abortion wants that zygote to be
in heaven with God so two different things here one is honor killings you know some sects
of Islam do this so it's a little bit more prevalent in Africa and some sects of Christianity
also do it Kurds do it etc not all of them tiny portion of them right but what they would
tell you if what are you talking about by daughter is now up in heaven with Allah exactly
where she should be much better than the existence she was living here where she was being immoral
so I shot her in the head and I killed her and so and I did the thing that Allah the
god my sky god wanted so it's great she's up in heaven now what are you complaining
about right now in the case of abortion it's a great point by Ana I thought you guys were
all about we got to protect life protect life protect life so you get into people's private
decisions you get into their bodies you get between them and their doctor turns out they
think it's a life as long as it's not alive as long as it's a nonviable cluster of cells
in a woman's body that's when that's when it's life but once it's born they say oh no
that's OK it had an incredibly treatable disease and you watched and sat there and you watched
you baby or kid or your adolescent or your teen watched them die and you could of helped
them and you didn't do anything congratulations they're up in heaven now what kind of prolife
movement is this this is barbaric and it's sickening
