  • PDF84, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1OK here is my thought. These people believe that God will heal them. But apparently they don't realize that God already answered their prayer many years before having a cure be discovered and it is now a common day procedure. These people have faith, but maybe just not the right kind of faith.
  • waveringhobbit, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1that's why god let some people become doctors.
  • astonsilicon, on 06/19/2008, -0/+1Ok, so am I the only who is seeing the pattern of prayer vs medical treatment? I believe people have the right to see the world as they see fit. However I do not believe that a 14 year old knows what's best for him. Obviously he was brought up to believe a certain way.
  • fewiii, on 06/19/2008, -0/+0While I still wouldn't agree personally, I *might* be able to understand if he had had a "major" disease, like leukemia, or needed big-time corrective heart surgery; this is like dying from the common cold or something. (=head scratching here=)
