[release]At least six people have died in Britain after evangelical churches told them to stop taking their medication because they had been healed of HIV, medical professionals have revealed to Sky News.
To investigate the claim, Sky News sent three undercover reporter to one of the churches, the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) in Southwark, south London. The wealthy church was founded by Pastor T.B. Joshua, who claims to be a prophet, and has branches in Ghana, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Greece.
All three of the undercover reporters told church officials they were suffering from HIV, and all three undercover reporters were told they could be cured.
The reporters were also told they could discard their potentially life-saving antiviral medications.
On their website, the church claims to have healed everything from HIV to Crohn’s disease to mental disorders.
“It is foolish advice and it is tragic advice because the consequences of this kind of advice can only be that people pass on HIV and can only be seriously bad for the individual concerned — including death,” said former health secretary Lord Fowler.[/release]

fucking morons
This is why medical licenses exist.
artificial natural selection?
I feel like they should be charged with something. Going as far as to tell them NOT to take their medication is horrifying.

The adults who listened to them aren't children.
They are just as dumb.
People like this give Christianity a bad name.
I didn't know the UK had a large evangelical movement.
Man, I feel bad for you guys, evangelicals are fucking stupid.

Get indoctrinated by religion as a child and it's hard to let go of your imaginary friend as an adult.
Sad but true.

I'm not disagreeing that the people were dumb, but that doesn't mean the church isn't culpable.

I wasn't aware of it either to be honest, they aren't doing a good job of spreading their message. I have seen like one or two evangelical churches.
Perhaps I just live in a sensible area.
Unfuckingbelievable.
Just like those parents here in America who let their kid die because they believed he would be saved through prayer.
yay religion
