MaryC, if it is a choice between saving a child's soul by condoning kidnapping or depriving the child of heaven by saying the seizure was illegal ... well, any religius group will tell you that saving the soul is the fair and just thing and allowing a child to go to hell is the dishonest, immoral and unethical thing to do.

That is the internal logic of religion (and it doesn't matter much which one it is).

I don't see this mother as have a snowball in hell's chance of winning back custody (unless she can get the case switched to a civil court).
