Deeply Religious Man Crushed By Falling Crucifix, Loses Leg

[Darkstar]

Oh, the irony. A perfect example of cherry picking. He prays to the crucifix and his wife is cured. Therefore, the crucifix cured his wife. The crucifix annhiates his leg. Therefore, the church's failutre to put in more screws annhialated his leg. This isn't simply a low standard for evidence; it has some deadly confirmation bias in it cutting both ways.

This comment on that page is pretty sad:

So Jimenez PRAYS to GOD,
to SAVE his WIFE from DEATH?
And GOD GRANTS his PRAYER.
But when his FAITH is TESTED, he SUES?
There is a PRICE to be PAID, Mr. Jimenez.
In THIS world, or the NEXT...

(Unusual capitalization preserved)
Where in the bible does it say that prayer comes with a fee?
Most of the comments are arguing over praying to graven images, but it doesn't appear that anyone (at the time of this writing) has suggested that he prayed to the crucifix as a proxy to god, rather than worhipping the statue itself. Either way, it's pretty pathetic.
