JFC! I shared this on book of faces and couldn't contain my ranting on this one so I'm about to be inundated about god's mysterious ways and how these particular dumb fucks somehow weren't doing the faith in god/prayer thing right even though what they actually did was follow bronze age superstition literally, which I could almost respect in a crazy principled loon kind of way if they hadn't oh, I don't know, killed an infant! Sorry, I don't have any snark for this one.

“He’s quite thin and always has a very stern look on his face,” said Pastor Barber. “I’ve never seen him smile.”

Vegan, you say? Sounds a little like Morrisey.

My son was dating a Vegan sometime back and we tried, we really tried to be nice and accepting,but she was impenetrable. She shared the traits that I've seen in so many other Vegans. She had an overwhelming sense of superiority and entitlement and indirectly looked down on others with a very judgmental attitude. There was always a sense that she expected to be accommodated because she was obviously doing the right thing and had a superior belief system. I'd often joke with friends that Veganism isn't a diet it's more like a religion and they are almost as irritating as conservative Christians. In fact, there would be nothing more irritating than a Vegan Fundamentalist. Little did I know.

That's my point here. I'm not sure what was more damaging, the blind obedience to fundamental religion or the dedication to a religion that imitates a diet. That being said, I'm sure there are Vegans out there that are just pursuing a healthy lifestyle and I've known a few. I am merely referring to those who approach the Vegan lifestyle in a fundamentalist fashion.

It wasn't a tip-off that something was wrong with Daddy when he spelled his name "Jeromie?" Red flags, people, red flags. Snark off - this is so sad. We're going to find out that Jeromie has a severe mental illness and Jennifer is afraid of him, and the other two kids are going to have miserable, awful lives. And the blessed little baby is dead. If God exists, he's a horrible motherfucker.

Yes, and they seem to be absolutely certain that the words chosen for the English translation of the Bible have exactly the same meanings in the 21st century US of A that they had for the Anglican clerical hierarchy at the turn of the 17th century, when the KJV was published.

Some states may grant a certain amount of leeway concerning child-rearing practices based on the parent's religious beliefs, but I don't think that there is a religious exemption for negligent homicide anywhere in the US.

Wait, don't the Seventh Day Adventists have a pretty good medical school (Loma Linda) and hospital system?

It's just Darwinism. Bad genes not working out.
