Next time a theist gets sick, or grows a tumor, or any of the other scientifically preventable/curable/treatable ailments, I propose they use awesome religious treatments, such as...
Prayer (a worthless favorite)
Bleeding (ya' know, where they stick leeches all over you to get rid of the bad blood.)
Group prayer (proven at least as effective as solo prayer)
Cutting a hole in your skull (to let the demons out)
That's all they've got. hmmm...
You left out:
Killing (one of the best treatments ever invented!)
Allowing disease to run its course (don't forget not bathing!)
Feeding the sick (after all, what is sickness if you don't feed it?)
Genocide (for the REALLY BAD sicknesses!)
And it would be a shame to neglect exorcism (when's the last time science offered a way to drive demons out?)
I'd say these are pretty good. Darn useful some of them. Especially if you hate someone
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
