In the name of the holy Flying Spaghetti Monster what the hell are the editors of the print edition of the Oregonian thinking? The headline to this article on parents who murdered their fifteen-month-old daughter by treating her pneumonia with faith healing reads: "When Secular and Spiritual Laws Collide."Hey Big-O! This country is not Iran. Our legal system is not built around Sharia law. There is no such thing in this country as "spiritual law." None. Zippo. Nada.
You might as well headline the article "When Secular Law and Tinkerbell Collide." It would be just as grounded in reality.
The laws of the United States, of which the last time I checked Oregon was a participating state, are secular. Period.
I'm hoping those secular laws run over these parents doing about 75 mph then back up and make sure they're finished just for good measure.
