[Responding to: "It's been about a month since 7-year-old Nixmary Brown was brutally murdered by her mother's boyfriend, Cesar Rodriguez, in a small NY apartment. Police say she weighed a mere 36 pounds at the time of her death and showed signs of chronic severe abuse. Police also found a chair with rope tied to it, suggesting that Nixmary was often restrained, as well as evidence that she was forced to use a pet litterbox as the only means to relieve herself. Police say she was severely beaten and repeatedly held underwater in a bathtub before being dealt a severe blow to the head which finally caused her death.
For the many Christians who often say that God regularly helps them and has intervened in their lives when they needed it most, how do you reconcile what God has done for you with what he didn't do for Nixmary Brown? Why didn't he help an innocent child who desperately needed it?"]
How do you know he didn't help her?

you all should read that thread. some of the responses from the christians are the sickest thing i've ever heard.
There are some pretty terrible human beings posting on that thread.
This is one of those few situations in which, if I were physically present for this quote, the fundy would end up with a bloody lip.
"There is no justification for torturing/killing an innocent child. None."

The fact that these people responding to this can so easily patronize the horror that Nixmary lived through is a testament to the true abomination that they call their "morality."
"There is a science which has for its object only incomprehensible things. Unlike all others, it occupies itself but with things unseen. Hobbes calls it "the kingdom of darkness." In this land all obey laws opposed to those which men acknowledge in the world they inhabit. In this marvelous region light is but darkness, evidence becomes doubtful or false, the impossible becomes credible, reason is an unfaithful guide, and common sense changed into delirium. This science is named Theology, and this Theology is a continual insult to human reason."http://www.gutenberg.org/files/17607/17607-h/17607-h.htm
towards the beginning. It was first written in the 18th century. I find it interesting that we've been saying almost the exact same thing for about 200 years now.
How do I know? How do I KNOW?
Adiya: "God is good, and He showed His love for little Nixmary, by freeing her from the wretched abuser that would have continued to damage her for years to come. I praise Him for that.[bowing icon]"
Room314, the average 21st century person is a moron. The leaders of the Enlightenment would be quite disappointed that instead of progressing toward rational ideas about the universe, society has instead REgressed. More people - frighteningly YOUNG people - are filled with as much religious fervor as the soldiers sent off on the Crusades. The complete irrationality of these idiotic responses only serves to prove this.

This large-scale brainwashing operation truly is both nauseating and chilling.

I wonder why they call god good for killing and torturing this girl, yet they condemn killers in the same breath. I mean according to there logic, Osama Bin Laden killed more evil people then any can imagine, and did the world a favor, cause god was acting through him.
Ozymandias: "Why is Bush on there? Bush hardly compares to those others-they were genocidal dictators. Bush is neither."

Osama, Pol Pot and Stalin never made a habit of invading other people's Sovereignity.
When I first read this post (and the comments on the thread), I was reminded of this essay, but it's taken me a few days to track it down (I almost never bookmark things...). Anyway, I'm sure some of you are familiar with it, but if not, I recommend taking a look:http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/mark_vuletic/five.html
Mr . Turquoise
An all-powerful god who likes to play mind games, much like some of those craptastic excuses for "possible dates" do and doesn't get the definition of "help", or a universe with no god? I think i know which one most sane people would go for.
"How do you know he didn't help her?"
Gee, I dunno. Maybe her miserable, brief life and brutal murder.
What a heartless asshat! I sincerely hope you die in a fire.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
