The line between government interference and religious freedom needs to be drawn when laws are broken. And the law needs to prevail.

Do you religious "fanatics" really believe that God is telling men to rape young girls and beat up and cast out the young boys? Do you really believe that a woman who claims she hears God talking to her and kills her child because the devil is dwelling in that child should get away with it in the name of God?

I''m angry because where I live a family just let their 11 year old daughter die of untreated type I diabetes...because they were brainwashed by an on-line cult to pray for her instead of seeking medical treatment for a very treatable disease. Now that they are going to be charged with homicide...they hire a big shot lawyer. Hmmmm...why don''t they just pray for the judge to find them innocent!?

BTW I do believe in God.

here''''s a thought: if all the information relating to the mormon children in texas is supposed to be confidential to protect the children, why is the Department of Family and Protective Services Commissioner, Carey Cockerell, allowing all this "confidential" information to be leaked to the press?

how can this possibly be good for the children? why not just complete the investigation and THEN act on the findings without all the inaccurate information and false accusations?

the findings are not for public entertainment; they are for the use of the courts in deciding how best to protect the children.

ever thought of THAT?

It''s obvious: it is to try the case in the court of public opinion like most political stunts. The problem is trying a case that way does not mean the information leaked is false. So for the case of the church with a bed in the temple and lots of pregnant girls with only old men near by--that is an issue--the leaking is unfortunate and should be illegal--but as long as they don''t name names--they will probably get away with this--one of the unfortunate fall outs from allowing any politician or party get away with smears, leaks, etc--soon, the entire process is corrupted.

God NOT forgive? Thats new.

The bible mentions in the NT one sin that is unforgiveable. Never to be forgiven in this world nor in the world to come--that is the blaspheming of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said it.

"We haven''t oppressed them with your atheistic globalist curriculum, socialist indoctrination, and ''alternative lifestyles'' dogma that comprise modern public education. We have taught them higher values than the values of your slave-state, and have sought to shield them from the abuse that is institutionalized in your system," he wrote. "

Yep. like fvcking his son''s wife and the wives of his followers. Why do these new interpretations of scripture always center around men getting as much hooch as they can and "it" being the will of god?

"Serna declined to elaborate because of the ongoing investigation"

exactly. that''s what is supposed to happen in cases involving minors: no premature comment to the press.

LOL. Good point about atheists thinking they all are. One day at lunch someone posed the question about what constitutes a cult and the popular answer was, any religion different from your own. That probably sums it up pretty well. Almost every religion or sect in the world was at one time considered a cult until it became wide spread and acceptable. The ONLY problem I see with freedom of religion in our country is a lot of folks take advatage of it and the government is loath to interfere with religious practices because of the constitutional protection. I guess there will always be scum-bags that take advantage of anything they can get by with. Unfortunate, but that is the human condidtion.

Children need to be protected from abuse, even abuse disguised as religion. It''s sad how often grown men use religion as an excuse to commit abominations!
