I've seen some people comment that athiests will use these cases as proof of the non-existence of God. I am an athiest. But I do not see this as being proof of any form. People should not concern themselves about that.
I originally posted this here because I was amazed at the actions of the girl's parents. It seems utterly bizarre to me that parents, fully aware of the deteriorating condition of their child, would not do everything within their power to help. You can only expect so much help before you have to help yourselves. The news story that GrnMarvl provided only serves as a further reminder of this.
These people aren't helping their children by not seeking a proper diagnosis and/or treatment; they are gambling their faith with their children's lives.
While I appreciate the comfort that religion gives to people, I just can't see how logical people would have expected the situation to turn out any different than it did.
