No/Yes, kids shouldn't have to go unless they want to but they are kids and by that subject to their parents rules.

So a 15 year old should die if their idiot parents are Jehovah's Witnesses and don't believe in blood transfusions, but the 15 year old isn't religious?

Yes, because that's exactly what I said! Roll Eyes There are obvious differences between being forced to go to church if you don't want to and that situation you mentioned above. Obviously laws should be different for those types of situations. Not like someone as, I'll take a page from Jfern here *shudder*, batsh**t crazy as you could possibly understand that or want it to be put into any argument.

You said that they're kids and that they're subject to their parents' rules.  I was just seeing how far you were willing to go with that statement.  How about an infant who can't make any religious decisions, and their parents want to deny him a life-saving blood transfusion?

Great non-answer.

Yes, I sure didn't answer. Roll Eyes Neither of you like to read into what people say. He gave an example and I said obviously laws should be different for those types of situations. The kid would die, meaning the law shouldn't allow the parent to kill the kid.
