With this issue or any other...Whether we believe in God or not...We are ALL given free will...If God wanted people to die, rather than have a transfusion...Why would he ALLOW transfusions to be an option?...Have these people who say "God wants it this way" ever spoken to God?...Does the bible SPECIFICALLY say, "Allow your children to die if transfusion is the only option"?...The bible DOES say to "protect" your children, and so if transfusion is the only way to save them, I would say that letting them die, is NOT protecting them
There are so many ways to interpret the bible, why would someone choose to believe an interpretation that allows children to die for no reason?...That actually sounds evil to me...You know, the bible ALSO says that Satan knows the bible just as well as anyone else...Perhaps those who believe are influenced by more than one entity...Case in point: Reverend Jim Jones...Was THAT "God's Will"?...Why would we be given ANY free will at all, if all of our decisions have supposedly already been made by doctrine?...I can't imagine ANY situation in which God would "order" a child's death
We have brains, people...We HAVE to use them...and we HAVE to protect our children
