Why dont faith healers ever notice that every "patient" with a serious illness they have ever used magic on ends up dying. I know a guy with a mum like this, refuses to take him to hospital or to the doctors if hes ill or if he gets hurt, insisting praying enough will get god to heal him. worst part is he has a seven year old brother who is alergic to pretty much everything, reciepe for disaster.

I'd rather see people not throw their life away, but if it's their prerogative, go right ahead. I just [B][U][I]hate[/I][/U][/B] it when parents do this to their children. If I were to push a product on infomercials, which promised to cure cancer, but was just some saline solution, I would be held criminally liable for any damages; why is that not the case with this? Welcome to the societal privilege of sincerely held religious belief.
What the hell, people. You can't take it seriously when some African American person is screaming in the most serious way he can to remove cancer out of people or whatever. Spoiler: [sp]Nothing happens.[/sp]

Wasn't their some country, which names escapes me currently, that banned "Healing by prayer" and forced parents to take their children to hospital if they got sick or injured? I think that this needs to be done in more countries and not just for children.
