Carl and Raylene Worthington prayed over their sick daughter Ava. She was 15-months old and suffering from pneumonia. Antibiotics would have cured her. Instead she died a horrible death while her parents watched. Religion is dangerous.
The imagery in this next sentence struck me as particularly goulash.
A small church cemetery is lined with the graves of dozens of children — suggesting an extraordinary increase over the average death rate for children in the United States…
It brings home how little we can do to address the problem. Our only recourse is to persecute after the fact. How sad is that?
The deaths also typically involve young children because "by the time kids are school age, there are others involved in their lives — friends, neighbors, family, teachers that may be aware if there's a serious issue,"
Ouch. We only catch them with oversight. At least we can set an example with Carl and Raylene. 15 to 20 years to think about their mistake sounds about right.
