YOU HAVE GOT TO EFFING KIDDING ME

On the night before 11-year-old Madeline Kara Neumann died of complications from untreated diabetes, her parents did not call a doctor.

Instead, Dale and Leilani Neumann prayed over the telephone Saturday with the founder of a religious Web site named AmericasLastDays.com.

The stunning detail was revealed Thursday by David Eells, whose Unleavened Bread Ministries operates the Web site that focuses on religious healing and the apocalypse. Leilani Neumann, who lives in the Town of Weston, wrote two posts on the Web site.

Absolutely not ... this has to be an Onion story or something right? Someone's playing a joke me? ... REALLY????

Eells, 59, who lives in Pensacola, Fla., said he was asked by an elder to call the parents and pray for their daughter.

In a statement posted on the Web site, Eells says that the child had started to get sick "in just the last day or so" and the parents "asked me to pray and agree with them in prayer, basically because she appeared pale and listless. They did not seem overly concerned because they had had healings before. This is not an unusual kind of request to us."

Eells said he received another call from the Neumanns on Sunday as the family "followed an emergency vehicle with Kara in it. They told me that she had stopped breathing and asked if I would pray that the Lord would spare her and raise her up, which I did."

The girl was pronounced dead at St. Clare's Hospital. An autopsy determined she had diabetic ketoacidosis, a serious complication of untreated insulin-dependent diabetes.

This poor girl never really had a chance. If not diabetes, she probably would have stubbed her toe on rusty nail one day and then her parents would just sit there and stare at the infection as it grew. Why isn't it going away? We prayed EVERY DAY!

If i was a kid I'd rather be left in a wolves' den as an infant that have Dale and Leilani Neumann for parents. I'd like my chances a lot better. Being a silver-lining guy, at least this poor girl won't grow up and raise another generation of world-class morons. See that glass! ... it is half full!
