So basically, God, Religion, and some religious individuals, are "Responsible," for what these parents did to their kids, through their own actions?
They are being used as "excuses" for why these parents, did what they did, to their kids?
I view these individuals as being irresponsible individuals, or irresponsible parents.
Examples:
"His mother and stepfather, as Christian Scientists, had the boy treated by a church practitioner instead of a medical doctor. Ian died in a diabetic coma."
They should have taken their child, to a medical doctor.
"Neil Beagley, age 15 died June in Oregon 2008. He had a urinary tract blockage that could have been corrected by a fairly simple catheterization. It wasn’t corrected though, because Neil’s parents had taught him that God, not man, should cure disease if it is to be cured at all."
They should have taken their child, to a medical doctor.
"Matthew Swan, age 16 months, died of spinal meningitis in 1977 in Detroit, Michigan. His parents, Doug and Rita Swan, both lifelong Christian Scientists, retained Christian Science practitioners for spiritual "treatments."
Christian Science contends that illness is an illusion caused by faulty beliefs, and that prayer heals by replacing bad thoughts with good ones."They should have taken their child, to a medical doctor.
"Austin Sprout was only 16 years old and his parents believed that their faith alone would heal him even though five years earlier,"
They should have taken their child, to a medical doctor."
"Brian Sprout, Austin's father, died of Sepsis after he refused medical care thinking that his faith alone was enough to make him well."
Sepsis, can be fatal if ignored, if it's caught early enough, antibiotics, and fluids are used to treat sepsis.
So this individual, hurt himself, by not seeking medical attention.
"The Sprout family are members of a church called The General Assembly Church Of The Fist Born, a church which is known for practicing faith healing.
Brandi Bellew, who remarried after the death of her husband Brian as well as her husband Russell, faced second degree manslaughter charges after the death of Austin."
Thank you for educating me on "faith healing."
Because faith healing, sounds very non medical oriented to me.
I view the above as parental "malpractice, or neglect," and it's on those individuals, for the type of care, that they sought, or didn't seek for their child?

Your opinion, counts to you.
And when it comes to how you view your individual philosophy verses Religion, your opinion, has no bearing on how religious parents are raising their kids, and aren't abusing their kids with Religion, when it apparently comes to your opinion, does it?
No anti religious individual, has ever produced, evidence, where Religion was put on trial and convicted of Child Abuse, along with the offending parent, or parents, have they?
Individuals can verbally handcuff Religion to human beings, and make any claim, that Religion was responsible for what an offending parent, or parents did to abuse their own kids, or the kid, or kids from another family?
It's a convenient claim to make, from the impersonal confines of one's own keyboard?
Apparently cold words, on the internet, carry the same value, that actual cash does?
Just because, they want their anti religious opinion, to carry the same value?
I'm pro family, pro kid, and pro children.
And from the educational perspective, that the anti religious crowd, has taught me, through their repetitive anti religious opinions, and teachings, the anti religious individuals, appear to be staunch believers of their peddled anti religious rhetoric?
It makes one wonder, just exactly how "pro family, pro kid, or children," are the anti religious crowd, when it comes to their anti religious philosophies?
The above is my response to your individual mindset:
"I do not think TKDB has a explanation in basic principle why refusing of medical practice is not an abuse. The biggest legal hurtle is the legal precedent of how charging a doctor with murder is not the same as malpractice in united state by consitution."

That is a good thing. So am I. Also, nontheism or nonreligious does not equate to being Anti-religious. I also happen to come from a religious background with friends and relatives who happen to have theistic beliefs. But they too can also see that the case reports I presented to you with are acts of cruelty and have no issue in understanding it was those religious beliefs that influenced their actions.
Moreover, if a person's religion leads them to commit the cruel death of their vulnerable children then you can bet your butt that I am "Anti-that religion!"

Its not my opinion TKDB it is a preservation of constitution stated as fact religion is in fact by explanation of basic principle a public shared belief it is a united state all religion shares. Child abuse and child death do not share a united state, not all child death is abuse. The united state is hardship all child death is a hardship.

A persons Religion has Zero, to do with a parent, or parents, unjustifiably causing their kids, to die by their own neglectful or parental malpracticing ways.
Call any District Attorney in the United States, and see if your anti religious view of those criminal parents, and see if your blaming of their crimes, will hold up in any Court of Law, based on your individual, anti religious views on Religion, or God, as being the specific reasons why those parents failed their kids, because of their negligence towards their own kids health, because they where blinded by their own negligence, and not God, or Religion?

Are you "maybe trying" to tell other parents what to do around their kids, when it comes to Religion?
"That is a good thing. So am I. Also, nontheism or nonreligious does not equate to being Anti-religious. I also happen to come from a religious background with friends and relatives who happen to have theistic beliefs. But they too can also see that the case reports I presented to you with are acts of cruelty and have no issue in understanding it was those religious beliefs that influenced their actions."
Because those individuals committed their crimes, and I didn't read anywhere in your stories, where God, abd Religion had handcuffs placed, around their wrists, and they are now incarcerated in prison, with those "parent criminals?"
"Moreover, if a person's religion leads them to commit the cruel death of their vulnerable children then you can bet your butt that I am "Anti-that religion!" "
Individuals can verbally handcuff Religion to human beings, and make any claim, that Religion was responsible for what an offending parent, or parents did to abuse their own kids, or the kid, or kids from another family?
"That doesn't really make much sense. If a person's religion leads them to commit the cruel act of killing children then their religion has everything to do with it."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_terrorism_in_the_United_States
"Domestic terrorism in the United States"
"Definitions of domestic terrorism"
"The statutory definition of domestic terrorism in the United States has changed many times over the years; also, it can be argued that acts of domestic terrorism have been occurring since long before any legal definition was set forth.
Under current United States law, set forth in the USA PATRIOT Act, acts of domestic terrorism are those which: "(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; (B) appear to be intended – (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States."[2] [3] [4] This definition is made for the purposes of authorizing law enforcement investigations. While international terrorism ("acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries") is a defined crime in federal law,[5] no federal criminal offense exists which is referred to as "domestic terrorism". Acts of domestic terrorism are charged under specific laws, such as killing federal agents or "attempting to use explosives to destroy a building in interstate commerce".[6] "
Now read this information, and see if you can see God, or Religion being mentioned, within it's own wording?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_in_the_United_Kingdom
"Terrorism in the United Kingdom"
"Terrorism in the United Kingdom, according to the Home Office, poses a significant threat to the state.[1] There have been various causes of terrorism in the UK. Before the 2000s, most attacks were linked to the Northern Ireland conflict (the Troubles). In the late 20th century there were also attacks by Middle Eastern terrorist groups, most of which were linked to the Arab–Israeli conflict. Since the 2000s, most terrorist incidents in Britain have been linked to Islamic extremism.
Since 1970, there have been at least 3,395 terrorist-related deaths in the UK, the highest in western Europe.[2] The vast majority of the deaths were linked to the Northern Ireland conflict and happened in Northern Ireland.[2] In mainland Great Britain, there were 430 terrorist-related deaths between 1971 and 2001. Of these, 125 deaths were linked to the Northern Ireland conflict,[3] and 305 deaths were linked to other causes[4] – most of the latter deaths occurred in the Lockerbie bombing.[4] Since 2001, there have been almost 100 terrorist-related deaths in Great Britain, the vast majority linked to Islamic extremism.[citation needed]
1,834 people were arrested in the UK from September 2001 to December 2009 in connection with terrorism, of which 422 were charged with terrorism-related offences and 237 were convicted.[5] "

"Is Religion Ever Child Abuse?"
"I think the answer to this question is both a yes and a no, dependent upon individual circumstances. If a child is being told what to believe and will "burn in hell" if they don't believe what they're being told then this is indeed abuse. This is a form of psychological manipulation; although not intentional abuse I will grant, still abuse, nonetheless."

Talk of evidence to address any grievance publicly debate or not without whole truth is a violation if United State Constitution. The whole truth in a Pro child, Pro baby, Pro family declaration to justify an assembly of truths publicly to set principle into the beliefs of the public in general means in basic principle that person does not authentically care but is instead make an effort for money by profession.

"Is Religion Ever Child Abuse?
Realistically there is a lie designed as a fabrication of a fake separation of church and state taking place. If you want to take the constitutional test, simply give a proof that a religion can be sustained in society without sharing belief openly in the public. Since the creation of a united state constitutional common defense it has not been done. It is the basic prickle which separates a republic that directs democracy for the common defense and any form of unregulated democracy which establishes large, often unknown crimes by self-incrimination.This is not a question that can be answered in truth with yes and no. If a reply is yes, it is always yes defend the principles which set that understanding, and if a reply is no it would always be no. Own it. Ever means an eternity.

"A vast number of governments around the world can also see how certain religious views can lead to horrible actions, and they work to tackle this."
What country besides, the United Kingdom, and the United States?
I'm against any individual, who goes about corrupting (any Religion, outside of its own published or copyrighted work,) to self serve their own corrupted mindsets.
Example, the 9/11 highjackers, who used and corrupted a Religion, as a way to make excuses for their individual, inhumane deeds, and actions?
Wikipedia has the information, available for global consumption, and can read the historical information themselves, and Religion, and God, are not a part of that Reference material.
That information, has been shared with this forum.
I'm pro humanity.
I'm pro peaceful religious individual, or individuals.
I'm anti extremist.
And still no one, can provide any Factual evidence, where God, or Religion in general, was guilty, along with the guilty humans who hurt others, by Manipulating Religion, for their own needs, and means.
Moreover, I'm not trying to make you do squat, ZuesAres42.
"Because I am pro-humanity and that is the stance I will continue to defend no matter how hard TKBD tries to convince us that extreme religious views are harmless."
Where's your Evidence, to prove this malicious talking point from you?
"You will continue to defend no matter how hard TKDB tries to convince us that extreme religious views are harmless?
Go, and find that quotation, that you're claiming, that I said to you ZuesAres42, or anyone else for that matter?
You will not put words verbally in my mouth:
I have never made such a comment to you ZuesAres42,
Show the United Kingdom readers, and the United States readers, where I made the statement, you're claiming?
Who am I trying to Convince that extreme religious views are harmless?
Where's your evidence?
Because I'm sure you're able to copy and paste those very words, and share your proof, or evidence, to back your claim up?
Maybe MI6, can help you out?
"The Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6, is the foreign intelligence service of the government of the United Kingdom, tasked mainly with the covert overseas collection and analysis of human intelligence in support of the UK's national security. Wikipedia "
I'm really curious to read, the supposed proof or evidence that you have.
And thank you ahead or time, for being able to provide that existing evidence of yours.

You STATED, all of the below:
"Is Religion Ever Child Abuse?"
"I think the answer to this question is both a yes and a no, dependent upon individual circumstances. If a child is being told what to believe and will "burn in hell" if they don't believe what they're being told then this is indeed abuse. This is a form of psychological manipulation; although not intentional abuse I will grant, still abuse, nonetheless."
"For the benefit of other readers I am not anti-religious like this deluded user keeps calling me. You can verify that also by what I actually said by scrolling back."
@ZeusAres42
Who's playing childish games?
I knew, that I hadn't said anything, resembling the claim that you made in reference to me?
"Because I am pro-humanity and that is the stance I will continue to defend no matter how hard TKBD tries to convince us that extreme religious views are harmless."
This statement, is the most educational, self defining, and descriptive of your individual educational lens:
(("I am anti-extremist, anti-radical and anti-religious-views that lead to the death of others." ))
You stated those words from your own mouth, right?
I had nothing to do with your written word usages.
You tell me, and the other readers, the DIFFERENCE between a religious extremist, and a peaceful religious individual?
"Tip: If you want to have the moral high ground in this debate then start being honest. Unless you're incapable of because of inevitable imbecility in which case I forgive you for you know not what you do! "
Thank you for the education in your use of your individual UK "vernacular?"

It is a no brainer that it is a logical progression that these beliefs are harmful. And it doesn't make any sense to say or imply that it's not the beliefs responsible but the people. It really is beggars belief to say or imply that a person's beliefs are somehow a separate entity from the person. Of course, a person is responsible for their actions but that still doesn't change the fact that they had harmful beliefs that lead them to commit those actions.
Luckily and for the benefit of humanity, there are people doing things to help tackle these harmful beliefs around the world which are also a no brainer because it is pretty self-evident unless of course, I am living in a parallel world.
You've got people tackling radicalization in countries such as the US and UK so as to combat acts of terrorism, and thus saving lives. You've also got peaceful and charitable organizations around the globe tackling religious-based medical neglect and thus saving young vulnerable children's lives. And for this, I am very grateful because I am like I said pro-humanity. I say Pro-humanity for the win, all the way and is something I will defend from now on until my dying breath.

What's more dangerous, God, Jesus, and the Bible?
Regardless of what Religion they used as a crutch, to abuse the public via their own inhumane actions?
Or extremists, with their individual weapons, like the 9/11 Hijackers?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks
"September 11 attacks
The September 11 attacks (also referred to as 9/11)[a] were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda[2][3][4]against the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The attacks killed 2,996 people, injured over 6,000 others, and caused at least $10 billion in infrastructure and property damage.[5][6]Additional people died of 9/11-related cancer and respiratory diseases in the months and years following the attacks."
Take note of the specific words:
(Islamic Terrorist group al-Qaeda)
Do you see Islam itself being mentioned, or a group apparently, using Islam for their apparent individual uses?
Do you see any mention of "God, Jesus, or the Bible, or the Qur'an," being mentioned in the above, or the rest of the reference material, on the 9/11 Wikipedia page?
@ZeusAres42
I didn't, see if you can?
Or those individuals, who have been individually corrupting Religion, and use it as their individualized, (verbal spine, to make excuses, for why they have killed, and abused, their own families, or the family members, of other families, or the thousands of the innocent people, because they distorted Religion, and used it as a guilt escape crutch?

Why can't you just see that some strong harmful beliefs lead to some harmful actions?
The basic principle is that some strong helpful beliefs are what in whole truth lead to harmful action. The issue is that people present different types of child abuse then the types of child abuse which can come from religion.
I’m sorry I cannot hold myself impartial in this discussion.

Here in the United States, there is this piece of writing in the US Constitution, called the Second Amendment, and this Amendment has, maybe in a sense created a loophole, in which a lawful gun owner, and unlawful gun owner committed 2 mass shootings, in the last 48 hours?
Because there are 400 million guns in the US, and some of these guns have serial numbers, on them, and some of them do not?
See the loophole?
I do, the loophole, is that these two mass shooters who had guns, and killed innocent people with them, and other mass shooters as well, dating all the way back the University of Texas tower shooting, Aug 1st of 1966?
Because the Second Amendment give the citizens the right to bear arms, and the first time offenders, and lifer criminals, and offenders, apparently have an attitudinal beef with what, that law that says, IE criminals, and offenders, aren't allowed to have guns?
So some of the criminals, and offenders, self justified the purchases of their ILLEGAL guns, to go to wherever, and hurt, maim, cripple, and do worse to the innocent people around the criminal or offender with their street purchased guns?
In a country of 329 million citizens, and of those 329 million people, 900,000 of them are Law enforcement, and both of these groups of citizens, get to deal with mass shootings, along with race on race, and non race on race gun violence brutality, and so on?
a two year old child was among the wounded, who didn't pass away after being shot, by an individual with a gun.
But a mom, and a dad, were school shopping for the 5 year old child.
So when the shooting continued on, the mom, shielded their baby, and gave her life for the baby, and the dad got shot in the process of the shooting as well.
So now a 5 year old, and a baby, are parent-less?
Who should those families, and family members blame for those two for those two shooters mass shooting gun violence?
Blame their crimes on the laws, making it illegal for some individuals to have a gun?
Blame it on White Supremacy, blame it on Hate?
Those terrorists groups, that apparently hide behind Religion as a self JUSTIFICATION tool, to carry out the attacks that have been going on for how long now?
Who wrote these RULES, about being able to blame, this or that mass murder, or this or that terrorist attack, on the thousands of innocent people who have been killed by these various individuals, and than their fallback excuse/plan is to vocalize for their reasons for why they did on, "White Supremacy, the Second Amendment, Hate, Religion, some of the US laws, as they are written?
Who, is really trying to condition who, on how to think, and view these terrorist attacks, or gun violence crimes?
Did the criminals, offenders, or the terrorist write these RULES?
Or have some, maybe been instructing others on how to think about things, behind closed doors?
It's not fair, equal, or reasonable, to give these individuals their excuses to hide behind, via their own lip service, is it?
I don't believe in letting these individuals having their excuses, (Reason being, that their excuses, can't bring their victims back, can they?
I believe that these individuals should hold themselves accountable for their own actions, because the lives that they took, can't say anything back to their victimizer's faces can they?
So, they don't deserve to get to hide behind their excuses, being that it wouldn't be fair, equal, or reasonable now would it?
Unless, some are mindfully content, to reduce themselves, down to the victimizer's level?
To me, when individuals create excuses for why they abused, indoctrinated, and brain washed themselves, and others to do their individual bidding for them?
Their overall issue, is an attitude issue, passed from criminal, to criminal, from offender, to offender, or from terrorist, to terrorist, whether locally, or globally.
Then you have individuals, blaming this or that Religion, or blaming a law, for why a criminal, or offender, committed their crimes, or their domestic terrorist act, or their global terrorist acts overall, they don't deserve, to get to hide behind their excuses.

When I was a little kid, I watched the original Jurassic Park. Being a very impressible kid, the scenes from there seriously scarred me, and I would have quite a few sleepless nights trying to get the image of a T-Rex walking into my room and attacking me out of my head.
Can my parents that encouraged me to watch that movie be seen as abusers? I do not think so.
While there is a term "emotional abuse", I would not apply it liberally to every situation where a person has been traumatised by careless words from others. Among other things, it implies a certain malicious intent. You cannot blame a deeply religious parent for telling their child about hell, since they genuinely believe that this is how the world works and only want the best for their kid, no matter how misguided it is.

You say .......When I was a little kid, I watched the original Jurassic Park. Being a very impressible kid, the scenes from there seriously scarred me, and I would have quite a few sleepless nights trying to get the image of a T-Rex walking into my room and attacking me out of my head.
My reply ......Yet I’m sure your parents would have comforted you and told you the movie was just that a movie and that you were under no threat , can you seriously not see a difference between the two?
You say.......Can my parents that encouraged me to watch that movie be seen as abusers? I do not think so.
My reply .....No they cannot , they most likely ate popcorn with you and drank coke and you’s all enjoyed the movie until you went to your separate rooms and you had your possibly first experience of a reaction to a scary scene in a movie
You say ......While there is a term "emotional abuse", I would not apply it liberally to every situation where a person has been traumatised by careless words from others.
My reply .....Religious indoctrination is the opposite of “careless words”
You say ....... Among other things, it implies a certain malicious intent. You cannot blame a deeply religious parent for telling their child about hell, since they genuinely believe that this is how the world works and only want the best for their kid, no matter how misguided it is.
My reply ......
But I do blame a parent for psychologically damaging a child , would you also not condemn a parent for beating a child since they genuinely believe it’s best for their child?
To teach a child daily about hellfire and such is the essence of bad parenting most children nowadays certainly where I live are taught a totally different way regarding religion and the terrors of eternal torture because those in the various religions mostly realized how damaging and traumatic it was.

An add-on, to my previous points of view:
To me, when individuals create excuses for why they abused, indoctrinated, and or brain washed themselves, and others to do their individual bidding for them?
They are bringing their own problems, unto themselves, and others.
Their overall issue, is an attitude issue, passed from criminal, to criminal, from offender, to offender, or from terrorist, to terrorist, whether locally, or globally.
Then you have individuals, blaming this or that Religion, or blaming a law, for why a criminal, or offender, committed their crimes, or their domestic terrorist act, or their global terrorist acts overall, they don't deserve, to get to hide behind their excuses.

My argument is towards some of the humans who are and have been inhumane, to the other humans, around them.
The Bible is a book with words in it, period.
And you're trying to self facilitate your own anti Bible argument with it?
So what the Bible says, or what the Qur'an says, is irrelevant, when inhumane humans, have killed other human beings.
