Tried to point out the need for scientific proof of spiritual healing before assuming it's bogus.[...]
That's preposterous. The burden of proof is on people claiming "touchy-feely" healing has any real, physical effect. If you don't like to be criticized for spreading medical misinformation about placebo effect - keep it to yourself.
Medicine is an important thing to many people - especially the sick ones. There are thousands of quacks with all sorts of scams - we don't have to waste time with each of them, by default - they're NOT medical professionals (even if some may appear to be "on the fringe"). We have highly trained medical doctors and researchers to deal with them and let us know when and if any of that is at all useful. Or at least - not harmful.
Hey - why not put on a mask and a cape and become a vigilante - since the Police hasn't stopped all the crime yet? Answer: because you'd stop nothing and would get killed, all the while interfering with professionals doing their jobs.
