My $.02 - is that religion is one of those areas where you have to make allowances - so long as their "delusion" isn't harming any other person (strapping on a bomb to kill the "infidels" would be an example of harm) In the case of parents who won't allow treatment of their kids - that's that tricky icky area, and much as I hate to say it, my gut feeling is that government needs to keep it's slimy hands off of what should be a personal choice. I am reminded of the Florida woman who was brain-dead, yet kept going on life-support while the US congress tried to force her husband to continue paying megadollars for her medical care. Light Be With You, friend. Go, with the Earthmother. *smile*
