Angie Jackson commented on dusk's blog post a few of my thoughts on the Daniel Hauser case
"As I've said in other posts related to this story, I was raised in a faith-healing cult. I was born at home without a doctor or midwife, received no immunizations, got into typical childhood scrapes including a few that should have warranted…"
Jim DePaulo commented on dusk's blog post a few of my thoughts on the Daniel Hauser case
"Parents or not, if they are making total irrational decisions that can harm their child the state has an obligation to intervene. Not just withholding critical medical attention but child marriages, children snake handlers the "beat jebus into…"
Creature commented on dusk's blog post a few of my thoughts on the Daniel Hauser case
"I hear you Sydni. 13 is way too young to make that call, and letting a kid your responsible for die is negligent. If the family can't afford the costs to save the life of a child than the state needs to step up and help them out."
Joey commented on dusk's blog post a few of my thoughts on the Daniel Hauser case
"Well, the problem is the kid really wants to live.
If it were a case of him having the right to die if he wished, I'd be on the opposite side.
The reason they ruled that way is he knows absolutely *nothing* about medicine, science, or…"
Dionysus commented on dusk's blog post a few of my thoughts on the Daniel Hauser case
"MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A Minnesota judge ruled Friday that a 13-year-old cancer patient must be evaluated by a doctor to determine if the boy would benefit from restarting chemotherapy over his parents' objections.
In a 58-page ruling, Brown…"
Фелч Гроган commented on dusk's blog post a few of my thoughts on the Daniel Hauser case
"Just because its in your newspaper, doesn't mean its in everyone's newspaper. It would really help if people knew what you were talking about. There actually is life outside of the YouEss, shocking as it may seem. Just like I can't be…"

a few of my thoughts on the Daniel Hauser case
as a skeptical person not only must i be wary of the role of quackery like new age medicine but i must also be vigilant against big pharm and the capitalization of medicine. i must keep questioning the motives of all involved.if this boy's family and he were not white would the ruling be the same? i don't think so. it really makes me sneer when the media mentions that this family has eight children together, as if this suggests instant negligence. it makes me sneer that big brother is watching…See More
dusk replied to St Jimmy's discussion Why are theists so obsessed with Heaven?
"people want to go to it because they are unsatisfied with the life that they lead now and are fearful they will never be happy. being able to go to a heaven would mean that this person's special and we all want to be special. most of all it…"
dusk replied to Kevin's discussion A few questions asked by my GF!!!
"1. it would mean that this country will no longer be hypocritical when it allows freedom of religion yet has god on it's currency as well as it's pledge. this was added in during the end of the McCarthy era, which this country is still not…"
dusk replied to éminence grise's discussion Gay Marriage
"i'm happy that taxpaying citizens will no longer be denied a public service. which is all it really is."
dusk replied to Jezzy's discussion Interview With A Godhead
"at this point in my life i'd decline the interview. if this were happening when i was in my teens and / or i couldn't refuse for whatever reason my responses would have been based on what mood i was caught in. if i knew that saying the…"

Ruth Anthony-Gardner said… Greetings, dusk! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus since 2009. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.
