Funny how most conservatives rightly consider a criminal's plea of "temporary insanity" to be bullshit, but if anyone says they committed a crime because Jesus told them it's okay, that's just fine.

If you go around concsiously murdering people, then you are a murderer and deserve to be punished. These people thought their daughter had a cough, and that's it. It is their belief to not treat with moden medical practices and they should be allowed that right because this country gave it to them. If there is going to be a separation of chruch and state, then there should be one. If not, then there shouldn't be any whatsoever. I don't know if you were insinuating that these parents were "nuts", but they weren't. They wanted to treat their child for a cough best according to their beliefs and unfortunately it wasn't for the best. But that is life and they have that freedom to practice their religion, but when they do they are persecuted for it.
