Yes, I know much of my rantings and ravings don't amount to much. But, I'm asking that you please read this post.

Of the 604 people buried in Idaho's Peaceful Valley Cemetery, 208 appear to be children, more than 35 percent. 149 of those children—a full 70 percent—were buried there after Idaho adopted its religious defense to manslaughter laws in 1972. This photo is the property of Linda Martin.

Yes, I am sure that daily, somewhere a Muslim is killing someone because of their faith. They are killing because of religious beliefs. And, here in the States, Christians act superior and say that they would never do that. But, they do.
Not only does Idaho allow you to murder your kids, it would seem from this CNN report, that the State is not doing anything to stop the killings.
Here's a link to another CNN report about a Pennsylvania couple who killed two of their children.
And, yet another article you should read.
Children's Healthcare Is A Legal Duty, Inc. (CHILD, Inc.), is an organization trying to do something to protect children. Please take a look at their website. There's lots of information.
I'm not grandiose enough to think thousands of you daily stop by my blog. Actually, I have a visitors' meter so we all know how many are stopping by. I would imagine that if you're religious and you take a look, you may well never come back here. Yes, I can understand that. However, it'd be nice if one day you'd temper your beliefs and faith with a little reason, logic, common sense, and a willingness to see things for what they are...and, not what you want them to be.
I often say that religion is the world's greatest evil. And, here's an example. How is it that these people can stand by and watch their children die? Best guess is being infected by some-type of God virus. It seems that once reason goes out the window and you decide not to question your beliefs, you're capable of anything.
Well, I'll stop here, as I'm getting a little riled-up.....
Edit: Note, this is a post from another of my blogs.

Yes, it seems as though the Commonwealth of Virginia will let you let your kid die if you're religious. Yep, talking about no separation of church and state.
This is part of Code of Virginia 63.2-100
“However, no child who in good faith is under treatment solely by spiritual means through prayer in accordance with the tenets and practices of a recognized church or religious denomination shall for that reason alone be considered to be an abused or neglected child.”
All states have provisions to protect children from abuse and neglect. Gosh, Virginia, you have really failed. This is almost 2012 and you have something like this on the books. What does it actually mean?
Yes, folks, I know I have no legal training and shouldn't be so bold as to try to interpret what this means; however, to the guy on the street, yep, that’s me, this really doesn't look good if you're trying to protect children from dying when they don't have to.
It would seem, yes, my interpretation of this code, that if the child is in a household that is clean, has food, and so on, that if the child has a life-threatening disease, and the family, or those responsible for the child’s welfare, just want to pray and not seek medical help, then that is OK.
As an aside, what the hell does, “a recognized church or religious denomination mean?” Recognized by whom? Man oh man, is there any hope for us?
