If someone finds the story commented in the entry horrible, that's because they're thinking, feeling, well developed humans. And, I would say if that person happens to be religious, they're likely capable of judging the situation in spite of their religion - not because of it.

Really? You're right, they're all the same and share identical opinions on all subjects and stating as such is the best way to have an adult conversation with people. I agree, we disagree.

I think the vast majority of people that have religious beliefs will think the above is appalling and counts as child abuse/neglect so saying why can't the believers see it is wrong is an unfair generalisation. I realise the US has far more evangelicals/fundamentalist Christians than the most other western countries though so understand you're probably more affected by it than we in Europe...
