Is it not just another issue in the pro-choice society? It's his choice to "worship" and believe and practice whatever the hell it is those people believe. :roll: (Reminds me of snake handlers. :shock
Myself, I don't think it's cool, at all, especially when it's the kids that have to suffer their parents folly. If the older religious zealots want to refuse logic and reason and suffer as a result, more power to them. But the kids? Well, I'm not one to stand between a parent and his/her parental rights, but c'mon.
Should they sue the Co$ out of existance? Well, I'm not gonna try to stop them. I hope I get paid to serve the court papers. :rofl
But if we're going to start attacking the people who are making these free choices, (and actually exercizing the very freedoms we all boast about, here in the good ol' USA of A,) can we get to the abortion clinics next? I mean, there is no shortage of people who want to shut down that choice too.
Or, is it better to say, "I am all for the freedom of choice as long as I agree with that choice?"
I think we should just let Mr. Travolta and his family mourn in privacy and just keep our snoots out of it. I know gossip goes with his chosen profession, but some things should be sacred to us all. This being one of them.
Suing the Church is out of line, I agree, but this is not just a private matter. When a parent endangers or causes the death of their child as a direct result of their religious beliefs they have run afoul of the law. Parents whose children die as a result of reliance of faith healing in lieu of medical treatment are often charged for their negligence. We do not have nearly enough information to determine if this was the case here, but it should be fully investigated and action should be taken if warranted. You (universal) have every right to believe in the Evil Lord Xenu and every right to act on that belief. You do not have the right to cause or fail to prevent the death of your child because of your faith in a bad sci-fi plot.
