there is another case now where christian parents are trying to heal their kid with prayer and alternative medicine. he only has cancer. the courts have ordered treatment or they will lose custody.
the whole "faith" thing is very interesting because its irrational at every turn. particularly in religion. people pray... but can explain a negative or positive outcome. god answered the prayers, or god has a plan, god is testing their faith etc... but people explain everything away and keep going because they need to believe. that's not just religion.. i mean a fat girl argues that her problem is genetic while she's mainlining double stuff oreo's and snorting fried cheese sticks.
my wife's mom pushes my wife to believe in all kids of meta physical bullshit. they hate talking to me because they can't stand the fact that i bring rational thought to the picture. it literally pisses them off to throw a fact at them that they can't dispute... simply because it threatens their belief system, not because reason has anything to do with their beliefs.
