The Unacceptable Cost of "Revealed" Religion
by Robert L. Johnson
All four little innocent children pictured above are victims of religious superstition. All four children died because their parents believed in the faith-healing BS that the Bible is full of.
The first little child who's pictured above is Harrison Johnson. In September of 1998 he was stung by over 430 yellow-jackets. His parents are Christians who believe in "faith-healing" so they prayed for him for seven hours before calling for medical help. Harrison died. His parents actions are perfectly legal in the state of Florida where this tragedy took place. This murderous behavior is also legal in 45 other states in the 50 United States. The only states that are progressive enough to not permit the killing of innocent children for religious "reasons" are Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts and South Dakota.
The second child pictured above is Amy Hermanson from Sarasota, Florida. She had diabetes. She also had Christian Science parents. The two don't mix and Amy lost. Amy was visibly sick for a period of four weeks. As many people do who believe in the hocus pocus of faith-healing, Amy's mother was pretending everything was alright. She took Amy to visit a neighbor who encouraged her to take Amy to a doctor. She refused. A few minutes latter Amy crawled into the room begging her mother to take her home. Amy died a few days latter.
The third picture is of Ian Lundman from Minnesota. He also suffered from both diabetes and Christian Science parents. Minnesota is one of the 46 backward states stepped in superstition where it's perfectly legal to kill kids if your religious beliefs embrace faith-healing. Ian exhibited all the signs and warnings of diabetes: frequent urination, vomiting and labored breathing. His custodial mother did nothing but hire a Christian Science practioner and Christian Science nurse. Since they believe in the deadly superstition of faith-healing they offered no medical help. Ian became yet another victim of "revealed" religion.
The fourth child pictured in his casket is Caleb Tribble who was a casualty of "revealed" religion/ignorance. Caleb lived his very short life in New Zealand. He was only four months old when faith healing took his priceless life. Caleb's sad case demonstrates that the mental illness of "revealed" religion knows no boundaries. Deists and other people of reason need to work together across all boundaries in order to protect the innocent children from these irreversible catastrophes brought on by the superstitious and their "revealed" religions.
It's estimated that every month between 1 and 5 children die in the US alone due to the religious superstition of their parents or guardians. The World Union of Deists is trying to change the laws that allow this assault on our children and our reason. We are currently circulating petitions that call for an end to the religious exemptions that promote this type of deadly superstition. Please help us by taking part in this important effort. Send an email to me at: childprotect@deism.com indicating your desire to help us in this matter and I'll help you draft a petition for your state. Don't let Harrison's death, and the deaths of the other innocent children, be for nothing. Together we will make a difference!
John McCain, who says he agrees with the majority of Americans who erroneously believe the US Constitution established the United States as a Christian nation, is endorsed by a powerful Christian preacher who believes America was founded, in part, to destroy Islam!

Hilary Clinton says, "I think the whole Bible is real." So she believes in the talking donkey (Numbers 22:28), that any nation that will not serve Israel should "be utterly wasted" (Isaiah 60:10-12), among many other ridiculous claims! Based on the blank check both Democratic and Republican politicians give to Israel, it appears they're all strong believers in the Hebrew Bible!
Barack Obama gave a speech in which he used the genocidal maniacs, Moses and Joshua, as great examples to be followed! It's pathetic and dangerous when in this nuclear age politicians still cling to the insanity found in the Bible, Torah and Koran! Here are just two examples to demonstrate that Moses and Joshua were murderous butchers. Deuteronomy 2:34 in which Moses brags about killing "men, women and the little ones", and Joshua 6:21 which says the Hebrews "utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword." How Obama can think this is good is beyond reason!
50 people who believed there was an image of the fictional virgin Mary on the sun were blinded due to looking directly at the sun while trying to see the image! Our God-given reason is the only thing that will protect us from such ignorance and superstition - if we decide to use it!
