To you the church is guilty because you're against churches and anything bad about them must be and always is true.
More displaced anger and ignorance. It has nothing to do with the church; comically, I have not mentioned religion at all in this thread, but you keep coming back to this angle. A clear sign of poorly thought-out argumentation.

Maybe it was filled because the kid that died was getting baptized
Doubtful. Pentecostals(and many other Christian denominations besides the Catholic church) do NOT believe in infant baptism.

Oh man! You are hilarious. It is always funny to make light of a person dying....even more so a 22 month old!
And BTW, though you are an obvious atheist, you should still know that people do not become angels. Angels are an entirely different creation than humans.

Serious question...have you ever experienced the death of one of your own children? I have. And being brutally honest here...it really makes you question the premise of a loving God. What possible explanation could anyone give me to explain taking my child that would sooth a mother's heart? There is not one. From anyone, including God himself.
How is it possible to have free will AND a God that protects every move we make?

How is it possible for a man to create the universe?

Darth was right, you just want to take on faith.
Man didn't create the universe.

I don't want to take on faith. Had that been my objective, I would have said something about religion before page six, and before a lengthy discussion of liability in which religion and faith are never mentioned.

Your thinly veiled jabs are transparent to anyone with an IQ north of 80. You don't know anything about this story. You don't know if a baptism had JUST occurred or was soon to occur. Yet somehow you are certain of liability.

Think about this for a second.....so you are alluding that the millions of swimming pool owners (tend to be people with a little more $$ than the average American--not all, but most) would leave themselves and all their assets open for a suit just to have a pool without any type of protection?
Not a chance.
As a pool owner, I say you are wrong on this. You must have the proper enclosures set forth by parish/county ordinances. Most counties make this info available on their websites now.
If someone jumps the fence and drowns, it is not the home owner's responsibility if he can prove that he abided by all the county laws.

None of that really matters. If a baptism had just occurred, why was the pool left unwatched, remaining accessible? That is the very definition of negligence relating to attractive nuisances.
The church owns the church, and the tank -- they are legally liable for them, not the parents of guests.

If you truly understand ANY subject you know that you cannot make definitive statements with such little information.
Posted on 9/25/14 at 6:21 pm to The First Cut
Of course it's not definitive, but I think it is safe to assume that the church committed errors with their attractive nuisance that enabled this outcome. When you look at the standards of law, it's pretty difficult to surmise conditions that would remove liability from the church. Nobody is really offering any either.

Keep playing dumb, you're pretty good at it.

Church better start passing around the collection plate to cover their legal fees.

No hard rule. You just need to show reasonable measure to keep outsiders, including children, from mistakenly drowning in your pool. Something that would hold up in court.

Did you really just use the word closed-minded prejudice in a sentence?
Liability of their own facility is not the only thing churches are allowed to get away with in this country, but 5 minutes of open-minded research will reveal that.

How tall is the median two-year-old? What about the seventy-fifth percentile?
