If the priest tells me to shoot myself, I would blundgeon him to death with a baseball bat - For being a priest. The "telling me to shoot myself" part I can shrug off.

Sorry, but any asshole who falls for this deserves to die. The gene pool is just a bit cleaner after their demise.

If a priest told me to shoot myself, I wouldn't do it. This is no different.
You might if you'd been brainwashed from birth, infuriating as it is. I feel pity for them not because they were dumb enough to trust a pastor more than their doctors, but because they and people like them were so screwed up and manipulated by their religion, family, and "friends" beforehand that they couldn't even see how terrible of an idea going off their meds was.
What falls away is always, and is near.
Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD

How do you know they were believers.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Of COURSE they were!
Can you imagine an atheist listening to a priest when he's told to go off HIV meds?
Stupid questions like that continually reaffirm my lack of faith, and for that I thank you.

Well.....
this,
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.
certainly suggests that they were dumbfuck xtian shitheads. Surely you know the type...being one of them.

Going back to the main point.
This is stupid I hope somebody slap these assholes.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain

What is wrong with you guys? You get your knickers in a twist over 6 stupid assholes with lots of choices who made the wrong one?
You're barking up the wrong tree, people!
You ignore that both the current and previous pope forbade the use of condoms in Africa, thereby committing genocide on millions and millions of black Africans through HIV/AIDS as we speak! 
If that doesn't warrant a public trial for organized crime in a court of law, what does?

Facilitating the mass rape of children.
Twice in the past 12 months a prominent criminal lawyer pressed charges against the (RC) 'episcopal conference' (the 'board' of the national RC church: a cardinal/archbishop and 5 bishops) for facilitating the mass rape of 20,000* children since WWII.
Twice the court decided – without motivation – to not pursue the case!
I wonder how long the court can maintain that inexplicable m.o. High time for some people pressure IYAM.
*well-researched most conservative estimates. Uncontested by the RC church. The real figures are probably at least a magnitude greater.
