Instead, I shall commend you to Tiny Judas's entertaining post on Christian pro-lifers and other such faiths.
[Tony Wyatt said] he believed in miracles. "If the man upstairs says this person should live, then this person should live," he said
Now, this is a child that not only ‘will never see or hear, walk, sit or eat properly, and will require round-the clock care until she dies’ but who also ‘has never left hospital and has stopped breathing five times. She is fed by tube because she cannot suck from a bottle, and needs a constant supply of oxygen’. Tony wants them to cut open her throat and permanently insert a pipe that will breathe for her. Does any of this sound like the work of a God who wants someone to live?
Or does it sound like medicine keeping alive a tiny ball of nothing but pain.
...
One has to ask the question, when ‘God’s word’ is mutilated to such a violent degree, who is serving whom?
It's good stuff.
