      They're not hypocritical, they're just wrong as a matter of theology & medicine. Their premises & core values are different than mine. And government should not seek lightly to exterminate minority religions it finds strange & uncomfortable.https://twitter.com/AlanLevinovitz/status/1260722734411194369 …

      There's about a billion things to criticize in this article. I'll pick just one. Read through it, and then tell me how the author could possibly argue against Christian Scientists refusing all medical treatment for themselves or their children. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1260706886325882881 …

      If you want to defend the right of parents to deny their children medical care because they believe God will heal them, that's a terrible political hill to die on.

      My Biblical namesake was thrown to the lions for less. Ditto what the patron saint of my profession was beheaded for. Better men than I have chosen religious liberty as a hill to die on. But hey, you can't have the Maccabees without somebody eager to play the king.

      Like I said, I think it's great that you're owning this position. It's honest and clear. Let people looking on judge for themselves where they think the limits of religious liberty ought to lie. And you do believe in limits—after all, "deliberately taking a life" is not allowed.

      Now, you're finally returning from religious liberty to the actual question of morality. I do not assume, as you seem to, that religious liberty does not exist when it results in things I think are immoral.

          Wasn't it you who brought up religious liberty originally? (Government, minority religions, strange, etc.) As for me, I'm just saying look, I think you're better off not making this "actively taking life" idea the core of your argument, because it leads to immoral places.

          Under the Catholic understanding, which is widely shared in most Christian sects and among most in the Western tradition, actively refusing basic medical treatment for kids is wrong. The Christian Scientists are wrong. I just see the problem with forcing them at gunpoint.
