I actually think it's a reasonable philosophical position to refuse medical treatment for yourself or your children under all circumstances, just as it's a reasonable position to refuse to steal food rather than starve.
For most of the time humanity was around, about a quarter to a half of children died before reaching adulthood. Generally speaking, the ones who died were weaker than the ones who survived.
What happens to the genetics of a population when you go from filtering out the quarter or half weakest in every generation, to keeping 99+%?
After about five or ten generations, don't you end up with a population of people full of allergies, and attention disorders, and diabetes, and social dysfunction, and depression, and weak eyes needing glasses, and laziness, and stupidity, and fatness, and clumsiness, and other low-grade inferiorities?
What do the people look like after a hundred or a thousand generations?

Dont worry, they covered theyr asses by believing this is one of the sucky places where we spend most of our existance.
Not gonna make this into a long God vs. No God discussion. I have no problems with religion as long as it's not esoteric and seclusionary in the belief that MY religion is the ultimate road to salvation/whatever. For every religion claiming the aforementioned there stands a dim-witted homo sapiens turned prophet/saint/whatever grinning in the background, having achieved his or her goal in branching another one of these endless religions in another one of its endless branches/churches/whatever.
I'm aware the above means I must reject the majority of today's modern religions since they're all based on canonised staples of bullshit that throughout history has branched out into new piles of shit, as a never ending stream of homo sapiens wise men claim to have found the true interpretation of the "word"/whatever.
I'm actually okay with most buddhists and generally with people who believe in a personal God. They share a common trait you see; they mind their own business.

this just proves that god is real and is able to dish out ownage harder than anybody Yeah I guess you're right. His way of saying screw you for confessing to the wrong religion; screw you for choosing one of the tens of thousands wrong interpretations every religion has branched into; and to end it screw you for choosing the wrong church out of millions.
Wow, I hope not.
If God does exist, I sincerely hope he's not completely evil to kill the child of a family just because they practiced the wrong faith. That's ridiculous and immoral. If a person killed the child for the same reason, everyone would condemn the person and call him/her evil.
If you believe in God, at least hold your God to the highest moral standards, and don't use God as an excuse for the evil, as these parents have done.

So religion kills another one...wake up it's the year 2008.

The parents should be put in prison for this imo, same thing as if they would just have killed her.

This is not the fault of God, nor the fault of the religion of Christianity. IMO this is more of the problem of not enough research. These parents should have read and studied the Bible in greater detail before coming to the decision that prayer was the only way to heal a child if you are Christian. The Bible does have countless stories of people who have been healed by prayer, but in most of these stories, you will find out that while these people were praying, they were doing everything physically possible to help the indivdual in need. A lot of Christians stand out in faith trying to declare their dedication and their love for Jesus, but unfortunately most of these people are not equipped with the knowledge to back up their declarementions.
As for why God did not save this girl, I can't say. I don't think we will ever know why God puts diseases in countries or allows for floods and hurricanes to destroy cities and wreck lives. However, I have personally seen the works of God firsthand and know that he is real and active in the world today. I have literally seen someones chopped off arm grow back right in front of my face. No joke. And what kind of a God would he be if everytime we asked for something he gave it to us? That's not a God, that's a genie. Although this girl's death is tragic and could have been avoided, we cannot comprehend the ripple effect that it will have on people. Quite possibly this death could lead to something far greater than we can forsee. God moves in mysterious ways, and although trusting Him even after something like this is difficult, it's never the wrong choice.
You have seen someone's chopped off arm grow back in front of your face..? I'm sorry, but I think that makes this entire post completely useless.
And also, that's complete bullshit. It's funny how when God performs miracles and amazing tasks, there never happens to be any evidence of it whatsoever.

Almost worse since they let her suffer for a prolonged time before she died. Thats like even more cold blooded evil than just killing her. Not that things like that really could be compared.
Cant really find words for this, just makes me sick.

The parents should have taken the girl to a doctor even if they had believed God will save her. By their prayers, they are asking God for help, not miracles. God will help them if they will try to help themselves or in this case the girl.
Its like jumping in a fire and saying "God will save me because i have faith".
It is the parents to blame for believing God will help them if they refuse to try to help themselves.
