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?"

He also didn't believe in an individual god.

So he was a polytheist?

His definition for God was basically equivalent to the physical forces of the universe. When he spoke of God, it wasn't an individual personal deity, but rather the wonder and awe that the universe is capable of creating in us.

His "God doesn't play dice." comment is usually taken out of context, and occasionally theists try to "claim" Einstein for their own, but he was on record multiple times as saying he didn't believe in a personal god, in the Western sense of the word.

Hope that clears things up.

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.

My personal beliefs: I don't think God is the "all watchful and caring guy in the sky".

I do believe in God though, as a beginning to everything, I just don't think God keeping tabs on us.

Edit: In other words, I belive the Bible and every other religious text was written/dictated by man.

What's your excuse?

my excuse why the world has gone to shit? because we made it go to shit, we did it, not god. ever hear the old saying "dont shit where you sleep?"

Holy dying children, Batman!!!

Thanks, Shaky, for the article.

I can't believe bullshit like this happens. I would work 3 or more jobs if it meant my children could get medical help...why didn't these parents get medical help?

But, despite your inability to believe it, it does happen. And more people die because of it than are saved because of it.

You can't possibly be calling people who place their faith in divine intervention over a cold more important than a person realizing they have to take care of themslves, can you?

Not really an answer, period. Especially from someone so close to atheism.
