Six die because church says STOP HIV treatment
http://news.sky.com/home/uk-news/article/16117269

Quote:At least six people have died in Britain after being told they had been healed of HIV and could stop taking their medication, Sky News has discovered.

There is evidence evangelical churches in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow are claiming to cure HIV through God.
Sky sent three undercover reporters to the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), which is based in Southwark, south London.

Rage. Rage is building.

This is extremely shitty, but I just wish that people weren't stupid enough to believe their man in the sky would cure any disease, let alone HIV.

Who would I be without this world?

I don't know the answer to that... but I do know I wouldn't be me.

Skunk I like who I am.
