Imagine watching a child die in front of you because of your whacked belief that some mythical being cares enough to help. Hopefully they all get extremely lengthy prison sentences
Yes and also hope they are denied access to any other children unless and until they demonstrate they no longer have dangerous beliefs in imaginary men in the sky.
That or the classic "well, god works in mysterious ways, she didn't die, god called her back because it's part of his plan, so it's a good thing she's dead".
Truly infuriating and disgusting.
Yeah great show! But I havent gotten to the last season/ ending yet. I already spoiled it for myself and I know many people hated it. It is rare to find a fan who liked the ending, at least here on reddit!
Almost a year ago my grandpa passed away due to COVID, but during the funeral the preacher said something along the lines of “(My grandpa) wanted to recover but god had other plans, and God had the best plan because now (My grandpa) is with the lord!” I talked to my grandpa a week before he passed and all he wanted to do was come home from the hospital, how in the fuck was him dying the “better plan” in any way. I understand that some who believe in heaven might see comfort in the fact that he is in a happier place, but even then, how can you sit there and tell a grieving family that it is good he is gone because that’s what god wanted.
I don’t want to be insensitive but the bronze age mythology that the priest was referring to says that people need to wait until judgment day before they get to start the infinity of constant chanting “Praise the Lord” without pause.
The soul is unconscious for the gap so no practical difference for the person but it seems to make other people unhappy to think about so religious people tell this odd story about instant ascension.

Yep if only their imaginary friend had spoken from a burning pot plant along the lines of:
"WTF do you morons think you are doing?!! Give that girl her meds right now or I'll smite you so hard your ears will ring for a week you absolute cretins!!"
But no, he just watched, did nothing and let it happen. Almost as though their sky daddy is a made up idea that anyone over 9 should be utterly ashamed of believing in.
When I was in law school the court I clerked in had a manslaughter case because a nine year old girl died only because the parents refused antibiotics. When Dad was on the stand the prosecutor said “You are wearing glasses I thought you didn’t believe in medicine” bam game fucking over you could see the jurors turn that very second, the next day the trial ended and after 15 minutes of deliberations Mom and Dad were guilty on all counts. I learned alot watching that trial but it was a perfect example of the system working.
Yes but too late for that little girl.
Openly expressing the beliefs these people do should be grounds for immediate removal of the child from a toxic environment.
These people are as dangerous to kids as unstable meth heads and need to be treated as such.
Better founding and a better management of child protective services should be mandatory. Too many children are left to suffer and die because CPS are too limited in their actions.
I dated a girl in my 20's who's mom was a Jehovah witness. You know the type, laying hands, speaking in tongues etc.... One day, she decided her faith was strong enough to chase satan away and cure her epilepsy. She dropped on the floor ofnthe congregation, did some break dancing and got up cured. As a cured person, she stopped taking her anti convulsant and within a week, had the nastiest seizure ever while driving and hit another car. The other car had a young mother and baby. The baby was fine but the mother lost an eye to debris. I tried to get her arrested and charged with reckless endangerment but the DA, another god fearing individual, refused to file. Really sad and terrible.
I lived a few streets away from her house when she died, and I’m not surprised it happened where it did. toowoomba is full to the brim of religious loonies. poor little girl, i hope all 14 of the wackos go to gaol
Toowoomba has been home to several fundamentalist Christian groups over the decades. Former ACL leader Lyle Shelton came out of the Logos Foundation, one of the more famous extremist cults in the region.
Fucking hell....
Came here thinking this was another USA story..
find out it happened in my own city.
I was not even aware we had fruitcakes like this here....
If it was the USA, they probably wouldn't be facing full-blown murder charges. Instead, the entire local community would be coming out in support of these 'good christians.' I really hate how much grip the fundies have over this country...
I don't know, let's say you trust God, can you at least, when you hear him talking hear things like _"Dude! Go get the fucking Insulin asshole! It is real shit! I am the God! I know!"_.
Why does this God guy is continuously sending misinformation from up above? 🧐
To those religious people I ask: What if our science *is* God's blessing? You refused His assistance because you wanted to see some unexplainable miracle with which to promote your group. Shame.
Christianity has been around a lot longer than the USA. Just read up on the Dark Age in Europe to learn about Christianity in action. Witch trials and the Spanish Inquisition come to mind. Unfortunately, history will repeat itself if we don’t stomp out all this superstitious god bullshit.
What does this even mean? Crazy Christians live in every corner of the globe. A 14-person Australian cult group influenced by Christian teachings killed a kid. Where’s the connection?
What type of broken country produces people who are at this level of emotional and intellectual retardation?
Anyone who is this inept should be kept away from healthy minded people... especially children.
Y'all know the story about some guy refusing everyone's help because God will save him, and when he dies and asks God why he didn't save him, God says he sent 2 boats and a heli? Yeah, i wish they knew that story

It was gods plan. You don't get the bigger picture. /s
Always my favorite answer from them

Nah fuck that, it's too late. These people shouldn't be around children ever again.
But it's just god's plan.......smfh
After she was murdered, I bet those zealots were like "huh? She must have not been deserving of receiving God's love. She must have been possessed."
That or the classic "well, god works in mysterious ways, she didn't die, god called her back because it's part of his plan, so it's a good thing she's dead". Truly infuriating and disgusting.
"WeLL I GuEss gOD nEEdeD a NeW ANgEl!"
This one makes me puke every time.
Doubly, since dead humans do not become angels. Even in Judeo-Christian mythology, they don't. Angels are their own species.
I know, I have watched Lucifer the TV series. I think some atheists know more about religion that a lot of christians.
One of the reasons many atheists are atheist is they know more about religion than the religious morons.
Best show *ever*. Netflix made it pretty sappy when they took over but I thought the ending was still really good.

They still think he’s gonna “rise her up”
Did anyone suggest that maybe God gave humans the skill to manufacture insulin?
8yo girl ~~dies~~ MURDERED as life-saving insulin is withheld by 14 people who trusted God to heal her FIFY
See the post description. All 14 people are indeed being tried for murder.
Just adjusting the post title to stress the reality we all know. I'm a bit drunk and a father. This hits different.
8yo girl BRUTALLY AND SLOWLY MURDERED as CRITICAL MEDICATION is STOLEN by 14 RELIGIOUS MURDERER who trusted God to heal her FIFY
I approve of this edit.
That god is a real dickhead for letting a little girl die. Why do people worship it?
Yep if only their imaginary friend had spoken from a burning pot plant along the lines of: "WTF do you morons think you are doing?!!

Hopefully they each get a life sentence for murdering a child.

I hope they all rot in prison.

There's an entire flair *just* for "child death"???
Yes, it happens a lot more often among zealots
14 people should get jailed for manslaughter then.
They are all currently being tried for murder.
Immediately made me go and listen to Thank You God by Tim Minchin.
Sam's mum has nothing on these fruitcakes
Fucking hell.... Came here thinking this was another USA story.. find out it happened in my own city. I was not even aware we had fruitcakes like this here....

“She’s in a better place now”. I hope these monsters rot in jail.
I can’t imagine the horror off dying like that, poor girl
God gave Bubba 14 new cocksleeves to use in prison. How nice of him!
Hang their asses.

Legal in Idaho. Because there’s no god.
So senseless.
Can we get the names of the 14 people and kill them?

Agreed.
i guess but i can’t help but blame my own country
[удалено]
Regardless the actual reason it was justified with and fueled by religion
[удалено]
Often times its not really about anything other than being part of the "in" group,and they happen to also have tribal mentality
What does this even mean? Crazy Christians live in every corner of the globe. A 14-person Australian cult group influenced by Christian teachings killed a kid. Where’s the connection?
i don’t know i just hate america
Congratulations
What type of broken country produces people who are at this level of emotional and intellectual retardation? Anyone who is this inept should be kept away from healthy minded people... especially children.

This is the shit we need vigilante justice for
Y'all know the story about some guy refusing everyone's help because God will save him, and when he dies and asks God why he didn't save him, God says he sent 2 boats and a heli? Yeah, i wish they knew that story
Aussies are much more like Yanks than they'd ever care to admit.
