I can not even begin to express my anger at this. This just adds to my list of reasons why I hate organized religion. This is not the 14th century. We have medicines and treatments that can heal and cure. We don't have to sprinkle ashes, shake rattles and pray for the exorcism of the demons that cause fever. And look, we now have a life expectancy that expands past the age of 40.
I believe that every person should have the freedom to practice whatever religion they deem is right for them. But, that freedom stops when it endangers or adversely affects others. Especially innocents. Freedom of religion does not cover human sacrifice...is this any different? Not in so far as I can see.
