"According to a statement of facts, the cult members stopped feeding the boy when he refused to say "Amen" after a meal. After Javon died, Ramkissoon sat next to his decomposing body and prayed for his resurrection."

Stuff like this makes me wish that all of humanity would just grow up and go atheist.  More than one autistic child has died while being "exorcised" of his demon.  I'm tired of all so-called omniscient and omnipotent deities.  I like it better when deities have frailties that force humans to rely on their own abilities to survive instead of just giving up all of their authority to a better-qualified imaginary friend.

Monotheism is not my friend today.  It's a cult only when it happens to somebody else's denomination.
