Quote:Why isn't theophobia on the list if they wanted to include phobias?Come now, that's not something to heal. That's something that's an intrinsic part of the faith itself.
As to the article. How patently absurd on the part of the ASA. If they want to take issue with a leaflet based on those grounds, then one can certainly expect them to take issue with the Bible next, since it's chock full of examples wherein the reader may infer god heals, because throughout it's pages it relates stories of god doing exactly that.
Besides, the ASA's proclamation implies god doesn't exist, since the basic tenets of faith profess to the contrary. So unless there is no UK equivelant of separation of church and State, one would think the ASA is overstepping their authority.
I personally feel ASA has no right what so ever to claim a church or religious institution can not say god can heal, in the printing of their religious materials.
