Okay, this article really set me off:

BALTIMORE - A former religious cult member pleaded guilty Monday to starving her 1-year-old son to death after making an unusual deal with prosecutors: If the child is resurrected, her plea will be withdrawn.
Ria Ramkissoon, 22, also agreed to testify against four other members of the now-defunct religious group known as 1 Mind Ministries. All four are charged with first-degree murder in the death of Javon Thompson.
According to a statement of facts, the cult members stopped feeding the boy when he refused to say "Amen" after a meal. After Javon died, Ramkissoon sat next to his decomposing body and prayed for his resurrection.

A one year old who refused to say "Amen" after a meal was punished to death! In what world would this be acceptable. The fact that it was done in the name of religion makes it even more heinous. What happened to age appropriate behavior and expectations. It breaks my heart to think of this adorable little guy being starved to death and it enrages me that adults and leaders approved of the actions taken against him. When will people learn to think for themselves rather than blindly following leaders who neither model or promoted godly principles.

I am not sure what 1 Mind Ministries is all about but it is certainly not about the Judeao-Christian God who created us in his image. This is evil at it's very core. This is about some one's ego and power and control. I wonder how the boy was to be resurrected while being shoved in a locked suitcase?

Children are indeed a gift from God and His son scolded the disciples for assuming that children would be a bother to Him. They wrongly assumed He had more important things to do than let children come to him and ask questions and be curious. I bet the disciples didn't forget the rebuke - I wonder when we will finally "get" the point?
