The young 14 year old and his mother who have been on the road hiding from Chemotherapy because they believe in some form of alternative religion based on the Indian (with a feather not a dot) religion of Nemenhah.
There is a great deal of consternation about all this. Should the boy be forced to take chemo? Should his desire to follow his religion be honored. Should the mom be charged for running away.
Now the boy is in custody and will be forced to take Chemo.
What is interesting is a month ago a young girl about the same age as this boy died after the parents and the girl relied on prayer for healing.
There was universal condemnation.
I have a feeling that Christian Scientists and Jehovah's Witness's days of objecting to treatment are about over.
I personally believe in divine healing but I also believe sometimes God even uses Doctors.
Somehow this all seems suspiciously like bias against Christians and tolerance for something far less. That's the way of the world isn't it?
