Reply #61: Let me explain why I believe your reasoning to be flawed. [View All]

The parents have a belief, based in their own religious practice. In order to say that they must prove something, you demand an impossibility-that they prove the "truth" of their religion. No one is capable of doing that. Religions depend on faith.

In the meantime, the State is taking the position that it knows better than the parents and that it's interest in doing what it believes to be in the best interests of the child is more important than the right of the parents to follow their own faith. I agree with you that the parental belief is more likely than not going to result in the death of this child. But I am not willing to supplant their wishes and beliefs in thae name of state interest. That, to me, violates the Establishment Clause.
