A life saved from the madness

OK, let's put you in a scenario, seeing as you keep talking about what you would do differently. Do you have the right to let your children die in order that you can feel you haven't "sinned"? Is your personal lack of perceived sinfulness more important than the lives of your children?

FMF: If I declare an abortion to be a religious act,you will support it?

No, as I would not support, not getting blood transfusions either.

So the religious principle must coincide with yours for it to be a right,then you will accept it as a right ?

a child has been possessed by the spirit of the evil african devil catoplebas. unless the child is starved to death, catoplebas will come forth into our world causing the death of billions. the parents decide that it would be a sin against the sky god mulungu and humanity if they didnt starve the child to death...

..should the state stand back and allow them to do it?

I would stop human sacrifice if I could, I believe I miss read this last time.
Not too would be a sin for me, and against God.

Choices cut both way? So, you yourself would not perform a mutilation on a female child's genitals BUT you would support a parent's right to do it without the state intervening,is that right?

Not totally, I told you I do not hold to specific days, food restrictions, or
blood yet I respect if those that are trying to honor God do so I will for
their sake not force my will upon them.

No I would not. As I said earlier as quick as you make a choice then all
the worse things anyone can think of can now be thrown at you. By law
millions of unborn are killed, you good with that? Where ever you draw
a line some place on your side there can be the worse things possible.

So parents have no right to do FGM, but you WOULD support parents letting their children die?

Originally posted by KellyJay
Yes

but you believe the state should not get involved if a parent wants to refuse their child blood?

Isn't letting a child die so as not to anger God by saving it["sinfully"] a kind of "human sacrifice"?

No, I don't believe the state should, but there are a lot of things that
parents or individuals may refuse. There a lot of things they may ask for
and be refused. People refuse care a lot, they refuse the hospitals going
all out to try to save a life, or what is left of one. I personally would be
in the room giving them reasons to do it, but would not force it.

No it is not, since they would for their own lives deny the same thing for the
same reasons.

Self-"sacrifice" or suicide is simply self-"sacrifice" or suicide, I get that. Explain how letting a child die in order to please God isn't a kind of "human sacrifice". Explain it explicitly.

i gave an example of a religion refusing food to a child because it was a sin

you were given an example of a religion refusing blood to a child because it was a sin.

you said the state should intervene in one situation and not the other. can you explain why?
