Missing woman's dad encouraged Islam over meds

The woman isn't the only one who needs psychotropic medication, her father needs mental therapy himself.

Yep. Sounds a lot like those Christian cults. She's just lucky he didn't try to beat the devil out of her the way they do.

Yes, and you know about them because you read about them in the news.

So what's you're problem? Is it only news when a Christian does it?

Jehova'a witnesses come to mind.
A friend of mine almost died because she wasnt allowed the blood transfusion she needed after giving birth...

Religion is a weird thing...

Yes, and you know about them because you read about them in the news.

No problem pointing out that this isn't just an Islam problem.

Christians have done it. Everybody knows that. It's been front page news.

A Muslim can do it too. Did you know that? Or did the whining when the news got posted at all drown it out?

Relativism. Heard of it? It can be you drown a complaint out by pretending it doesn't matter because everybody does it. So to speak.

What it really is in that case, is whining that somebody dares to mention the thing they don't want others to know about.

It's curious that it doesn't work both ways. It's a big deal that some Priests were caught molesting children. We all know that. It was front page news. However when you're allowed to hear Imams also do it, or by conviction rate teachers are probably the worst offenders you will hear, "Wah! Priests do it. The implication is - so this time it doesn't matter. It's all relative." It wasn't relative when the priests did it though.

I absolutely hate it when people claim that religion is the one and only cure for depression. It never worked for me.

My godmother became voweless Jew, in her late 20s. She remained a devout member up until she turned 64,when she had a heart attack and required a new valve a la piggy. The Church she had done so much for turned their back on her, including her own Mother in law. She started attending Catholic services again.

Some times that religious shit works. Years ago, a JoHo friend was separated for 2 years but couldn't get a divorce as the only grounds they allowed was divorce for adultery.
So I obliged her...

Jews against vowels? What kind of fucked up hymie thing is that?

When it comes to this all religions need a reality check.

Yup, they're almost as bad as vegans.

Well, no. Most religions aren't antipathetic to modern medicine. Only a few smaller sects. The Christian Science people seem very decent except for not believing in medicine. Seems to me Islam was actually at the forefront of medicine at one time. I don't think the Catholics have any problem with it, nor most protestants. I mean Christians and Jews have sponsored hospitals that do very good work. I would be surprised if most Jewish sponsored hospitals wouldn't use pig parts if that's what's required. Just all religions have their fundies who have to take things to an extreme.

This is just some nutbar. You get them in all religions.

Perhaps you should worry more about the Priests diddling little boys rather than the coverage the other religious leaders get for doing a similar act.
