“EVERYBODY HAS TO DIE.”
The kids don’t deserve to die, but the parents deserve to lose them.
No shit. His choices are to either double down or admit to himself that he killed his daughter.
He is mentally ill. His child should have been taken away from him long before this happened.
Unfortunately, thanks to millions of people as mentally ill as he is, who inject the conservative propaganda machine directly into their brain stem, she may not have been much better off in foster care…
Ignorance is dangerous.
Another line of thought: this is severe negligence, leading to death. Throw this guy in jail for homicide.
This is why pseudoscience at all levels is dangerous to a modern society. Including “harmless” shit like astrology. It encourages magical thinking and the disregard of science in favor of belief in something that “feels right.”
Take that to its logical conclusion, and people die.
Astrology? Of all things, why point fingers at that? Give me one example on why it may lead to dangerous conclusions.
They already did.
It leads to magical thinking.
That’s a generalization, not an example. What does that even mean or tries to mean?
Astrology also was used by Ronald Reagan, president of the United States, to help decide important issues.
I think that’s good proof it’s fucking dangerous.
That kid sadly became a victim of her parents belief that opinions are better than facts.
Those who believe absurdities will commit atrocities.

“We don’t like the vaccinations, what they have these days. We heard too much, and we saw too much.”
I want to know what he heard and saw about vaccines, and where he heard and saw it.
I think a lot of the issues in these extremely conservative communities is due to them being unable to rectify the contradictions between religious beliefs and the scientific method.
Probably has less to do with religion and more with not being able to distinguish between reputable and non reputable sources.
Seriously, what exactly do you think “religious faith” is, if not strongly believing in something despite lack of evidence (i.e., exactly the antithesis of the Scientific Method)?
I’m just saying, there’s plenty of secular anti-vaxxers who just believe it because they saw it on Facebook and don’t understand that anyone can post whatever nonsense they want on there without repercussions.
if it’s not from the church it’s not reputable, and they’re trained that way by the church from the moment they’re kids.
I live in a country where nobody goes to church (France) and we have the same crazy persons.
And I go to church and I’m fully onboard with science, including vaccinations. So it’s not church that’s the problem, but people being dumb, which neither faith nor atheism can fix.
