Why God Refuses to answer some people prayers.

Never did, never will. It's the ultimate "victimhood" excuse - Oh, I'm not responsible for what happens to me, it's because of the divine plans of god/allah/the flyingspaghettimonster/abigboogaloo (delete as appropriate)...

Note: they're all "jam tomorrow" - as long as you give them lots of your money and abdicate your free will to the whims of some clown claiming to "interpret" for them...

Biggest con ever perpetrated on humanity.

Kabbalists teach us and tell us this famous allegory about a generous shop owner whose shop is always open, and everyone can walk in and take what they want. But his hand writes what you take, and his collectors collect. You can pay him by becoming like him, which is what he wants, or you can use what he gives you for yourself, and then his collectors come.



The Buddha taught when looking at any religion one should keep the meaning and forget the words. Kabbalah seems to have plenty of words and dogma but little of any meaning that I consider to be of value.

Prayer didn't do much good for this child with diabetes this week:

WESTON, Wis. — An 11-year-old girl died after her parents prayed for healing rather than seek medical help for a treatable form of diabetes, police said Tuesday.

Everest Metro Police Chief Dan Vergin said Madeline Neumann died Sunday.

"She got sicker and sicker until she was dead," he said.

Vergin said an autopsy determined the girl died from diabetic ketoacidosis, an ailment that left her with too little insulin in her body, and she had probably been ill for about 30 days, suffering symptoms like nausea, vomiting, excessive thirst, loss of appetite and weakness.

The girl's parents, Dale and Leilani Neumann, attributed the death to "apparently they didn't have enough faith," the police chief said.

They believed the key to healing "was it was better to keep praying. Call more people to help pray," he said.

The mother believes the girl could still be resurrected, the police chief said.

Telephone messages left at the Neumann home by The Associated Press were not immediately returned.

The family does not attend an organized church or participate in an organized religion, Vergin said. "They have a little Bible study of a few people."

The parents told investigators their daughter last saw a doctor when she was 3 to get some shots, Vergin said. The girl had attended public school during the first semester but didn't return for the second semester.

Officers went to the home after one of the girl's relatives in California called police to check on her, Vergin said. She was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.

The relative was fearful the girl was "extremely ill, dire," Vergin said.

The girl has three siblings, ranging in age from 13 to 16, the police chief said.

"They are still in the home," he said. "There is no reason to remove them. There is no abuse or signs of abuse that we can see."

The girl's death remains under investigation and the findings will be forwarded to the district attorney to review for possible charges, the chief said.

The family operates a coffee shop in Weston, which is a suburb of Wausau, Vergin said.

Not to worry, as the parents seem to think the child might still be resurrected. A bit like this zombie thread, really.

Not enough faith, eh? Nothing to do with failing to fetch a doctor, I suppose.

There should be some sort of prosecution arising from this. It's blatant child abuse.

But in god-fearing Murca? Wi aw thur righteous religious nutters? Nae chance.

I see they've left the other three kids in the house cos there's no abuse or signs of abuse that we can see... I agree with Nonny, this is child abuse! How much did that poor girl suffer while all the time people around her were muttering meaningless words to a non-existant entity? Or maybe they were praying to the wrong non-existant entity... so maybe the next time when this family have someone ill and close to death the prayers will be answered, tho if they are it will have nothing to do with any god!
