So, apparently prayer isn’t 100% effective at treating diabetes. The parents believe she died because they didn’t have enough faith. The mother believes the girl could still be resurrected.
The really scary part of this is the comment thread, where one of the commenters uses it to push some local medical insurance outfit, on the grounds that maybe the parents prayed instead of going to the doctor because they couldn’t afford it. That would be attributing them with too much sense, clearly, but the idea that an 11-year old girl might not get medical treatment for diabetes because her folks can’t afford it is frankly even more objectionable than their dangerously irrational beliefs.
Go, Team America.
