Cut from from the MSN website since I'm still too new to post links without going through a moderator:
"Are Val Kilmer's religious beliefs preventing him from treating a serious tumor? His family apparently thinks so.
"The actor was rushed to the hospital on Jan. 26 after he began bleeding from his throat. Val reportedly underwent surgery, a claim he has denied, and doctors found a tumor. But, it seems that Val has known about the tumor for some time and chose not to do anything about it.
Val, though, is calling reports on his health "gossip and silly talk." His family isn't buying what he's selling.
Family members told TMZ that they urged Val to seek treatment but he has been refusing to do so because of his Christian Science beliefs. Christian Science followers believe in the power of prayer, rather than medical treatment.
"The family says Val would never confess to pain because it was an admission that prayer didn't work, but when he started coughing up blood Monday his options ran out," the website said."
Ironic, considering he played the lead character in Real Genius.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
