I actually feel sorry for the actors in this vid. I think they just killed their careers.

And yeah, not one of those fear claims was actually backed up with an explanation. As far as schools, well, in schools (at least public schools I'm hoping, I myself went to a Baptist one), kids learn that people from all faiths are okay, so I don't see how this is any different. USA is supposed to be about a "melting pot" of cultural diversity, why not sexual diversity? What's the big f-ing deal? I can never find a good argument against same sex marriage.

Churches have nothing to worry about, they are private institutions and don't have to accept anyone if they don't want to (which is why the private university, Bob Jones, got away with an interracial dating ban until recent years). And I'm shaking my head trying to figure out how the gays compromise a doctor's faith? Does she not want to allow a gay spouse to make decisions for his/her loved one during a medical emergency? That's really the only scenario I can think of. This is all BS.

*beg for hot girl on girl love!

wow, this vid makes us sound like zombie invaders. I can't speak for other gays of course, but the last thing I feel like doing is infiltrating a small town full of people I think may hate me. Maybe I haven't been properly briefed on the gay agenda. Any hot lesbians want to fill me in on the mission?

so sick of her. she is worse than that guy crying about britney spears.

This and her other videos are quite boring. Or maybe I just got enough of giggly, hysterical Jesus freaks (as they prefer to be called) during my years of youth group. If you think this is funny you should go to a Christian rock festival.

The way these over religioned kids play out is she'll be doing too many drugs and anonymous sex to make up for lost time from ages 21 to 30.


hey, if you got something to say, say it to my face! Don't forget my last drug experience was with you :-P

this is more sad than comedic. I can't believe this man was given so much power . . . He sounds like the televangelist that airs on my county's public access television at about 1 am after reruns of M.A.S.H. Regardless of his personal beliefs, I believe the constant references he made to his faith were just part of his snake oil salesman act.

*begging b/c I'm too lazy atm to find something new and I'd really like a bronze star ;-)

upvote for the awesome hair ;-)

wtf??? why didn't they clear the cows out of the field? poor cows.

okay, I'm an atheist, but I can't understand the harsh comments on here.

As far as allowing the child to live as long as they did, well, they probably didn't find out about his defects until it was too late for an abortion (not that they would've considered it, but I'm just making a point), and infanticide is just as illegal as euthanasia -- so there's no reason to blame the parents for the possibility of prolonged suffering.

There's also no reason to believe the child was suffering the whole time. The parents obviously spent the entirety of those 99 days completely focused on taking care of him as best possible.

I have no problem with the fact that they interpreted their experience through their faith. If it helps them to heal, than fine.

Now as an atheist, the way I interpret this is the remarkable capacity humans (have obtained from millions of years of evolution) have to love and care for children. The video was very touching and sad, but also beautiful.

As far as the beliefs of the parents, they really didn't specify, so for all we know they are moderate Christians, and not the extremist types. And in no way did they imply that his death was a miracle. I may not believe in miracles, but if they chose to believe that the time they spent with their child was a miracle, than fine. It doesn't mean that they're not aware of the contributions of medical science.
