What a crock.
I am one of those fools who believes not only in demons but also in miracles. No I don't think that you should refuse to go to a medical professional, but I don't see how praying to an imaginary sky daddy for healing could possibly hurt anything.
Have you ever read The Case for Miracles by Lee Strobel?
No I haven't read the book you mention.
And praying and hoping for a miracle isn't what was needed. Time was of the essence. I had doctors to see, procedures to endure, and looking up info to make good decisions as well as making plans if things didn't work out.
The all-knowing god should have known what was needed or he could have just not caused it in the first place.
Prayer would have been a waste of valuable time and effort. I have nearly 13 years clear and didn't call on imaginary sky fairies for guidance or help.
I would have been calmer had my aunt (a nurse) and my dad (a veterinarian) has not both died earlier the same year as my diagnosis. But I think I choose the right path. No gods needed.
