Faith healing couple acquitted of manslaughter charges! How can this happen?

@Adrian: I meant you can't associate prayer with talking to yourself as you can't associate belief with mental illness.

I disagree. One can associate prayer with talking to yourself if there is no evidence that anyone is listening.

I could site atheism as a mental illness, but it would hardly be appropriate.

How exactly would you argue such a statement? Evidently you thought it was appropriate since you mention it.
