Charged for "faith healing" over medical care

Enough with the goddamn olive oil, already.

Faith healing is one of the most frustrating and sickening aspects of religious belief. The practice is dangerously reckless, tragic, and downright criminal much of the time. I happen to tolerate religious stupidity quite well, but I'm forced to speak up when I hear about ridiculous parents substituting faith-healing and/or prayer for legitimate medical treatment.

Even as a believer, I was deeply troubled by the faith-healings performed at my church. The irony of the church being located across the street from a hospital was never lost on me.

If it wasn't for science giving us plentiful medical advances just imagine laying in bed with a sickness that could be cured with 
over the counter medications and then suffering because you know they are praying and its not working. Faith and praying doesn't 
cure shit.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.
