Glad stuff like this never happens in Canada (Until it does happen hh)
Ok no seriously, I find even the Jeovah's witness 'no blood transfer' stuff to be too much.
If someone wants to pray for their own disease to heal without going to the hospital, I don't have any problem they'll probably die ... But you can't force that view unto others, especially your own children

You gotta keep in mind that the ratio of 'stupid', or mentally ill, or etc. people ain't different in religious people than anywhere else ...

Of course I agree, but I would tend to see it that these 'crazy denominations ' are just the result of stupid leaders, in other words: stupid people are at the top in this case, with a lot of sheep following them.
I totally agree with DevilsAdvocate that these people should be brought to justice as in any other case of second degreee murder. I would also suggest that these denominations be Biblically confronted in their beliefs by intelligent christians hh,e bcause putting a couple in jail won't solve the problem ...
THat or we all convert to what they think, and so if the majority does not view what they did as wrong anymore, then it is no longer wrong.

You talking about the Dalai Lama or the Pope ?
Because Protestant Denomination don't usually have a recognizable order in their rank, other than in a local Church: church member-ancient-Pastor
Or you are maybe talking about the last 'sheep' part, which I would agree. Many religious people are 'sheeps'
