    Faith-healing Philadelphia couple sent to prison for sick son's death
    By Michael Muskal
    February 19, 2014, 4:14 p.m.

    A Philadelphia couple who lost a second son by trying to cure him with prayer instead of science have been sentenced to prison in the death of the boy, who was ill with pneumonia but never saw a physician.

    Judge Benjamin Lerner sentenced Herbert and Catherine Schaible to 3 1/2 to 7 years in prison. They pleaded no contest to third-degree murder in the death of their 8-month-old son, Brandon, avoiding a trial and the maximum sentence of 20 to 40 years in prison.

    “April of 2013 wasn't Brandon's time to die,” Lerner said, noting the violence committed throughout human history in the name of religion.

    “You've killed two of your children.… Not God. Not your church. Not religious devotion — you,” he said in court, according to media reports.

    Experts say about a dozen U.S. children die in faith-healing cases each year, but multiple deaths in one family is rarer. “I have never seen in my career a case like this,” Lerner said in handing down the sentence.

    Why didn't God save the child?
    He did. The child is in heaven now.

    Well, I guess when his parents die and get there, he can ask them why they let him die

    You get a new body. No one has any disabilities. There are no babies in Heaven. Who is going to want to be a baby through eternity? No sex in Heaven and you won't miss it because you won't have any sex organs or hormones. You will be above the physical desires of the flesh. It is a new spiritual world.

    You don't have a clue about anything. He is in a good place, is happy and has already accepted the fact that he died and he has full understanding of how his parents thought, he is above any animosity towards his parents and will be eagerly awaiting for them to meet up with him.

    They were on probation for that IIRC... this looks like a plea deal, so it might involve both, but not sure

    They should have killed those kids in the womb instead of letting them die of natural causes.

    So the afterlife of Jesus worshipers is basically what Heaven's Gate members lived on Earth: sexless, delirious cult members.

    The Muslims might actually be onto something here.

    Can he leave heaven if he wanted to?

    I imagine after the first trillion years of singing hymns, it might get a bit boring.

    maybe they prayed for a natural abortion and it didn't pan out either...
