Recently Bill Maher was taking heat for his comments to Wolf Blitzer on CNN when asked “Do you think she (Sarah Palin) has a future nationally as a presidential candidate?” Bill replied “I don't know about a presidential candidate but I would never put anything past this stupid country.” He went on to say “This country just gets dumber and dumber by the day. And uh, I don't think I have time on your show to list all the reasons”.
The same week a the story of a Wisconsin man accused of killing his daughter by praying instead of seeking lifesaving medical was in the news. He considered her illness "a test of his faith,"
Dale Neumann, 47, is a "full-Gospel Christian, who did not know his 11-year-old daughter had diabetes. His defense attorney said.
There's not "a shred of evidence" Neumann knew his prayers would fail to help his daughter or cause her death.
Neumann is charged with second-degree reckless homicide in the 2008 death of his daughter Madeline Neumann, his wife, Leilani, was convicted of the same charge and faces up to 25 years in prison when sentenced Oct. 6.
The girl died from undiagnosed diabetes on March 23, 2008, surrounded by people praying. Someone called 911 when she stopped breathing.
The first thing that comes to my mind is that these people are dangerous idiots! The second thing that struck me was how little faith they have. Why call 911 after their daughter stopped breathing? Surely God could raise her from the dead if he wanted to.
