He's got 3 warnings already (one from me, actually). A temp ban likely isn't far off, though it may not be for this particular altercation.

Sithsabre and any other Christians, what do you think of the parents who neglected to give thier child medical attention which could/would have saved them and decided just to pray for a miracle instead? Should they be charged? Are they in their rights to do what they did? Were they right to l"et God decide?"

A good question. Unfortunately it assumes that all christians place absolute trust in divine intervention. Most do not, however. Most would chaulk it up to trusting god when it works out, when they consider him at all in a fortunate situation, and assuming it's a mysterious motive when it doesn't.
Many people, religious or otherwise, claim their backs were being watched by something divine when they survive a terrible experience long enough to realize how lucky they were. How many dead people are still around to damn the idea of divine intervention when happenstance doesn't favor their outcome? Moreover, how does the majority of examples not reflecting the love of an all-knowing god not also support the idea that we are inherently evil and most of us have fallen prey to the temptations of satan and are getting our dues in god's grand scheme and just purpose for this existence? Apparently, everything happens for a reason, when we have no reason to justify it; so we offer it up to divine countenance, when it suits us or justifies why terrible things happen despite our faith.
