This is like a news station telling everyone to get a knife and poke it in a switched on toaster. They should be held accountable for these people's deaths. They were the reason they died and should therefore be charged accordingly.

If you have been diagnosed with an ailment as serious as HIV you can't believe anyone who tells you they can cure you. Maybe God does want you to be healed, but I would get a second oppinion from a medical professional before quitting the medicines that are saving my life. I can let the homeless guy who rants and raves about the rapture being on its way diagnose all my ailments, but I would never just take his word for it.

Remember when the Bible told you to watch out for these???

i·dol (dl)

n.

1.

a. An image used as an object of worship.

b. A false god.

2. One that is adored, often blindly or excessively.

3. Something visible but without substance.

As far as I'm concerned leave the healing to your PCP

I met a man a long time ago at the airport. We struck up a conversation and I found out he had esophageal cancer. He refused to go to the doctors because he was sure that God didn't want him to use medical means for treatment and that God was going to heal him. I asked him a question to which he had no answer...If God didn't want him to take advantage of modern medicine why did he create doctors?

This is why religion needs to be a thing of the past. spritulizim is good and is ok. Religion is bad and is nothing more than a cult. It is a easy way to brain wash you and make you want to live a good life or think you are. So if these so called christians are supposed to be fallowing in the steps of this so called god. then why are they some of the most mean and thoughless people that do nothing but spread rumors and pass judgement on everyone they see. If you want to belive thats all fine and dandy, but keep your ways to yourself and stop tring to recurt new members. If someone want to be saved as you say, then they will make that dission themselves, keep your **** to yourselves. And please tell your prechers to stop melasting kids, it is sick.

Far be it from me to protect churches or their religion, faith, practices, etc. But the fact is, the priest is just a man, just like a tramp, a teacher, or a family member. If he claims to be an authority, then what? Anyone can claim anything, it's up to the individuals to accept or reject them as an authority. I could ask my friend for advice on my ailment as well, and if he says he thinks I'm cured, I decide what to do with that information. He can claim all the expertise in the world if I do not give him the recognition. If I decide that I will stop taking medicine because I choose to give him credit, it's my choice. Surely as a grown-up adult I can take responsibility for making my own decisions in my life. And if I stop taking the medicine and die, why would it be anyone else's fault other than my own? Anyone can say anything, claiming all the authority in the world, but the choice is yours. It's like, you sue the post office because the lottery ticket they sold you was not the winning one. If an office clark looks at your numbers when you're buying the ticket and says "these numbers look lucky", you can go back after not winning and claim that you were about to change your mind and had the clark not said that the numbers were lucky you would've cancelled the purchase before you paid. I don't think you'd win the lawsuit. If you make your decisions in life based on the claim of the people that you have CHOSEN to give authority to, then grow up and start taking responsibility, stop blaming others, and maybe start taking control into your own hands. Human beings are funny...

No one blames the super health naturopathic anti-doctor zealots for the same thing... "eat loads of Kale and cure your diabetes" or "get accupuncture and eat buckwheat and cure your thyroid!" It's just about as effective as telling someone God will cure them.

People make their own choices, if they die as a result, it was their choice. The information to make informed choices is out there and readily available. If you choose to ignore it, you choose to reap the results. Thats just how it is.

I think it's very selfish that some people think God going to heal all their problems. What makes people think they are so special that god will listen to them and help them? When their are people worse off
