Religious parents who refuse treatment for their kids

Religious belief can be a form of delusion sometimes. That's odd, coming from someone who is religious and runs a blog that is religious is nature-but I just read a story about a couple from Michigan named Rachel and Joshua Piland. Apparently they let their baby die instead of getting treatment, because "God will always provide".

This is a madness. In fact, their children should be taken away from them and yes, if they have any other children then forced sterilization should be an option. Of course the child dying is the true tragedy here and should be front and center. Like I just said, this couple should be jailed, given forced sterilization, and removed from society. Preferably for life.

Your religious beliefs are fine, even admirable. But they don't trump the life of innocent children. For the record, even if this couple was LDS, I'd still think they should be jailed.
