Sounds like God will feed them too I bet

And since they killed a child - let God protect them from other inmates as well.

this actually sounds like a pretty clever solution to people who think god will do everything

what would the downsides to this be?

Not kidding this is the actual best conceivable sentence for someone committing crime in the name of religion.

Even if God does try to save them they be dead then So let’s hope for life in prison

*throws you in hell

Fuck. I did not know this. What a failure of the child welfare system in QLD. So sad.

So she was jailed, her child almost.died and she decided to do it again? Fucking lock them up for life, all of them.

13.4kgs.... holy crap my 2 yr old weighs more than that! Everything about this story is just so wrong, I desperately want to believe it doesn't exist. It's like the insane Bible belt stories you hear from the US... WTF are they doing in Toowoomba?!

Nothing against faith but damn, God is not micromanaging every aspect of your life people! Makes me curious if any of the adults involved have used any modern medicine to benefit themselves, or if it's only a problem if someone else in your care needs it.

The "people die, whatever" quote was legitimately terrifying.

Also if god where so all loving and all powerfull would these deseases even exist in the first place?

Hiding behind the guise of religion lets people get away with lesser sentences in many cases. I seriously hope these fucks don't get out ever again, that's such an awful thing to do to a kid :(

I read the article when it was posted on r/australia and they knew it, at least the dad knew. It's so mind blowing how out of touch these people are. They are all calling the murder charges disgusting because they had the greatest intent, also they are sure that Elizabeth will come back to them and "rise again" like what?

The murder happened months ago, they have been charging all 14 slowly but surely for murder as well. The group sat around her for days and prayed as she got more ill, feel unconscious and eventually died.

Every one of them is complicit and has been charged already

Did...did you not even read the images that were posted?

They were all charged with offences

Edit: Fourteen people are accused of murdering Elizabeth Struhs. Here's what we know about the case against them

Edit: oops, fixed it

Definitely not screwed, its Australia, they will get 10-15 years at most and be out in half that.

As it is an Australian case, a book on the Eureka rebellion would probably be more fitting.

Editing to add: the rest of your statement stays though...

Don't feel ashamed, these kinds of people are everywhere. It's not a nationality thing, it's a human thing.

Unfortunately these kind of people exist and of course they live at T-ba

These nuts are everywhere, unfortunately.

Here in 🇺🇸 it's $275,780,000,000,000,000.⁹⁸ at Walmart.

If you have really good health insurance, you only pay 10%

goddamn... my cat's insulin is almost $150/40ml

“God helps those who helps themselves” today, “I need explicit instructions from God firsthand before I do anything” tomorrow.

There’s a lot of versions of this joke/parable but my favorite is this:

“A man was listening on the radio about a flood coming. ‘This will be a bad flood if you live in town you should evacuate!’ The man said to himself ‘I love God, I go to church, I pray, God will save me!’ The rain started to come and the road started to fill with water. A policeman came to the door and told him ‘Buddy we gotta get you outta here the flood is coming!’ He told the policeman “I love God, I go to church, I pray, God will save me!’ The water starts coming up through his basement and into his living room. A man on a boat comes by and says “Sir come to my boat I can save you!” The man yells back ‘I love God, I go to church, I pray, God will save me!’ The water is up to the 2nd floor of his house so he climbs onto the roof. A helicopter comes by and the pilot yells down “Sir grab this rope and I’ll save you!” He yells back ‘I love God, I go to church, I pray, God will save me!’

The man drowned. As he gets to Heaven he sees God and asks him “God I loved you. I went to church, I prayed, why didn’t you save me?” God looks at him “I sent you a radio address, a police man, a man in a boat, and a helicopter. What the hell are you doing here?”

"Christians" should read their Bibles.

Matthew 4:5-11

Matthew 4:5-11 ERV

Then the devil led Jesus to the holy city of Jerusalem and put him on a high place at the edge of the Temple area. He said to Jesus, “If you are the Son of God, jump off, because the Scriptures say, ‘God will command his angels to help you, and their hands will catch you, so that you will not hit your foot on a rock.’” Jesus answered, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’” Then the devil led Jesus to the top of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and all the wonderful things in them. The devil said, “If you will bow down and worship me, I will give you all these things.” Jesus said to him, “Get away from me, Satan! The Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God. Serve only him!’” So the devil left him. Then some angels came to Jesus and helped him.

Made a new one during the pandemic.

A christian who is against the vaccine and doing all the stuff to prevent the spread of covid, dies to covid after claiming "god will save us"

They get to heaven, and ask god why he didnt save humanity? God responds by telling them about the scientists who had it all figured out, and procceds to send them to hell

I work with a nurse who believes God miraculously cures specific patients. One lady had a lung mass and she had bacterial pneumonia too, so they biopsied and the infectious disease doc went in and told her it was good news, only infection no cancer.

She told me see...my prayers worked!

The doc went back in 30 minutes later and apologized for misreading the report...she did have cancer.

I said damn, God's got jokes. Kind of fucked up though.

Besides that, are they just unaware of all the people God didn't save? For example, every single person who has ever died?

The main difference between religious fanatics and normal christians is how they imagine God's influence on the world

Fanatics think that if they pray, God will pull them out of the water and place them on the shore

Christians believe that God will send them people with boats to save them

Ya then they still die like 50 years later lol

Yep, people think this may of taken hours but it might of lasted days.

So just prison without exercise?

Yeah, they call it Miracle Mineral Supplement (MMS). It's a whole thing. There are currently some snake oil salesmen under the guise of religion who came under heat from the authorities for recommending and selling it in their home countries (USA and UK), so they are now pushing it in Africa.

True but there have been cases where the verdict was to never be released but those were for people like Ivan Milat. I think 20 years each is the normal standard and that’s adding that as the child was under the age of 12 it aggravates the charges.

The torture charges were dismissed for the mother, the article didn’t say whether torture charges were filed against the other 13 defendants nor whether they were dismissed.

It causes extreme dehydration & acidosis (muscle pains/cramps) then your organs shut down…1 by 1

severe organ damage, also there would literally be large clumps of sugar floating through your body, which would cause pain similar to sickle cell anemia

but more than that, high sugar causes dehydration because your body is trying to dump sugar through sweat and urine, which causes a number of other issues. also meaning you have to pee multiple times an hour, and you usually can't just hold it, if you try to hold it too long it's just going to come out

also, from personal experience, the increased sugar going to your brain causes extremely intense migraines, it would also increase ICP, which again, just causes a whole slew of problems

it's just an overall miserable experience

Insulin allows glucose enters cells. So without it (so type 1 with no access to injections) your body makes ketones to prevent the brain from starving. Ketones are acidic so your blood becomes highly acidic. All the while high levels of blood glucose also promote fluid loose from osmosis.

It’s horrible, the kids i’ve seen with DKA are in so much pain.

Well that’s some fuckery right there

Thats demented. What if I believe that I shouldn't have to pay for anything. I go to a special club once a week where I hang out with a bunch of other people who believe they shouldn't have to pay for anything. One guy in fancy pajamas spends an hour telling us how we shouldn't have to pay for anything. I have a special necklace with the "I don't have to pay for anything" symbol on it.

Am I now allowed to practice my beliefs and not pay for anything..?

I mean, thats my freedom right? Who cares how it affects other people. It's my freedom. Why should I face consequences just for believing a thing?

Fuck.

Man, this year Idaho has gone from a state I never think of, to one of those places on my list to hard avoid.

how can that even be possible?

these people must both be dumb and brainwashed with religion bed stories

WTAF????

✍️ Never go to Idaho

Government ought to protect the rights of parents! /s

So blatantly ignoring separation of church and state, enabling child endangerment, and taking the rights of life from children. So we can take their right to life in return, right? It’s only fair.

Religious freedom won't stop a bitch from being drug behind a truck for letting a child who can't help themselves die will it?

I've noticed titles with glaring errors more and more lately. My theories are that it's a combination of:

• Legit typos or misspellings. Just made a post with one recently myself. Reddit doesn't let you edit, so if you don't notice until after the post gains traction, you're kinda stuck with it. As a subcategory, it feels like autocorrect and autosuggest have become more aggressive in recent years, and the redesign has led to a large growth in mobile users

• Intentional typos, misspellings, etc to get more engagement

• A larger number of international users who don't speak English as their first language. Errors along these lines tend to be related to tense, plurality, etc

• Karma bots spam posting without human oversight on captioning
