Parents Pick Prayer Over Doc; Girl Dies
Here's my first question: why does it seem like only morons breed the most? I know there are statistics that evidence this, but I'm too tired to Google right now.
Here's my second question: how much more evidence do people need that when God created everything, He created it with the ability to be autonomic? Adaptation and mutation, breathing, tectonic activity, lunar cycles, fertilization, your heartbeat, the transmission of nervous impulses, etc... autonomic processes. In other words, yes Jehovah-raffa is the Healer but did it ever occur to anyone that the exceptional minds of doctors might perhaps be the manifestation of that power? Do you have ANY IDEA what it takes to get into med school much less through it? The ones that question the knowledge and experience of doctors and take their childrens' lives into their own hands by "praying away" diabetes or choosing to skip the MMR even though it has been proven over and over again to have no to relevance or relationship to autism should be held accountable for the consequences of their actions.
These parents robbed their daughter of life. They robbed her of ever graduating high school, or having her own babies or doing the things in life she dreamed of. They took that away from her, not God. This was not a common cold that went awry; the girl had diabetes. She died slowly, over a month and only when she actually passed did her parents try to intervene. I know we all have our own interpretation of God, but here's mine: you do what you do - God allows it. It may not be what you are supposed to do, but you do it nevertheless. That's where action and consequence come in to play.
I could go on about this for some time, but I will not. I also promise to make my next blog full of optimism and appreciation! But I will add this disclaimer: just because a doctor offers you an antibiotic or an anti-depressant doesn't mean you should take it. Learn to make your own decisions based on ALL of the facts (read: fact = something that can be verified according to an established standard of evaluation). Do I pray when I get a cold that God will miraculously make me invincible to a secondary sinus infection? No. Because I have learned just how nifty the immune system He made is. Were I to start sneezing something the color of camouflage, I would probably revisit the situation. My point is this, you have a brain, and it ain't pretty for a reason. It's meant to be used! If you read all that, I'd like to give you a round of applause!
