That's a link to a website of a quack.

Lol... WTF is "pastoral medicine"?
Quote:Dr. Sircus’s approach is humanitarian because it pays attention to the majority who cannot afford expensive medical treatments or pharmaceutical drugs. With the Natural Allopathic Medicine protocol, people with limited funds can make use of the top three medicinals mentioned above—magnesium chloride, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), and iodine—to inexpensively treat most health problems. Add breathing retraining, CBD, superfoods, vitamin C, plenty of water good enough to be called a medicine, enough sun, daily magnesium massages and one will improve or cure almost any ailment.
Anyway, even if hugging and touching have health benefits - so does sex, arguably more, since it involves hugging and touching. So maybe christians should start giving blow-jobs to strangers? I - for one - would applaud such an initiative, as would many others, I'm sure.

Well, since most Christians are actually satanists (according to what satanism actually is)...

Compared to Jihadies, Christians look like children with their hugs and preaching.
Its gotta be God playing good and bad cop with the people.

there is already the infrastructure available that dispatches the LDS brethren to various locales, now with just a slight change in doctrine (and Lord knows the Mormons haven't been shy about changing dogma, revelations, strictures, rules, definitions, edicts, precepts and regulations over the decades) they could actually provide a useful service.
I'd also advise relaxing their restrictions on facial hair . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I don't see the harm in a free hugs.

Wait, churches actually do the handshake, "peace be with you" thing? I honestly thought that was made up. Must be because I generally only go to funerals. Or maybe New Hampshire churches are different.
But man, another thing I'm happy to avoid. Forced - whether through actual punishment or peer pressure - pleasantries are distasteful, IMO.
Church really is not for someone like me.

I do not like to be touched, much less hugged.

Yeah, I don't like being touched without my permission.
