In my estimation the greatest danger that religion has to offer the believer is prayer.  This manifestation of the ultimate delusion preys on the idea that the skydaddy is listening to your every word, and if you have enough “faith”, prayer is sufficient to invoke miracles.  But, prayer is a ruse.  It is a parlor trick at best, a method to murder at worst.

Leilani Neumann is a 44 year old woman from Wisconsin. This religious zealot murdered her daughter through prayer.  Madeline Neumann was 11 years old, suffering from diabetes.  Her mother ignored Madeline’s inability to walk and talk.  Instead, she  and her bible thumping buddies decided to pray for their victim.  As they prayed, the little girl stopped breathing.  You can guess what comes next.  It was then, and only then, that the decision was made to call 911.

Leilani Neumann was convicted of second degree reckless murder.  But, why was she the only one to be charged?  There were other bible thumping adults present at this prayer execution!  Why have they not been brought up on charges of accessory to murder?  And, consider for a moment the comments of Leilani Neumann’s attorney, Gene Linehan, who had the audacity to defend this zealots actions.  Linehan said Neumann didn’t realize her daughter was so ill and did all she could do to help, in line with the family’s belief in faith-healing.  He said Neumann was a devout Christian who prays about everything and took good care of her four children.

Took good care of her children by praying?!  REPREHENSIBLE!  UTTER BULLSHIT!

Add insult to murder here.  Yes, a desire to puke at this moment may prevent you from reading further.  But, the fact is that there’s more!  The attorney Linehan was quoted as saying, “Religious extremism is a Muslim terrorist. They are saying these parents were so far off the scale that they murdered their child. The woman did everything she could to help her. That is the injustice in this case.”

Everything she could?!  You sick, demented, religious fuck!  You should be brought up on charges as well!

(Must breathe and compose)

Oh, and to cap all this off…

The stepfather of Leilani wants murder by god legalized!  He said Leilani did nothing wrong by trusting in a skydaddy to heal her daughter!  He is quoted as saying, “We should have that right in this country”.

You sick delusional fuck!

(MUST BREATHE…)

This isn’t the only disgusting piece of religious dung to hit the news lately.  If you’ve been following this past weeks events, you know about the mother who has refused chemo for her cancer ridden son on the basis of her religion.  Defying a court order, she kidnapped the child and is on the run.  Once again the danger of religious beliefs continues to rack up charges, pain, suffering, and murder.

Now, if I could just convince these people to watch this video and use their fuckin’ brains!
