Faith Healing, What Could Go Wrong?

[url=http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/04/23/17878924-second-child-of-faith-healing-couple-dies-after-no-medical-care?lite]Prayer Time[/url]. [quote]A faith-healing couple serving probation for the death of their 2-year-old son is in trouble once again after a second child died. The 8-month-old son of Herbert and Catherine Schaible, fundamentalist Christians who believe in the power of prayer ahead of modern medicine, died last week, according to Philadelphia Police spokeswoman Jillian Russell. The couple have been serving a 10-year probation sentence in the 2009 death of 2-year-old Kent Schaible. At a hearing Monday, Philadelphia Judge Benjamin Lerner said the Schaibles violated the most important condition of their probation: to seek medical care for their remaining children.[/quote] Guess Jesus let them down.

  • It makes me think of a joke: A man is trapped on his roof during a flood. A guy in a rowboat paddles past and offers to help him, but the man refuses. "God will save me," he says, waving them on. The water continues to rise until it's lapping at his ankles, and soon enough a group of guys in a motorboat drive up and tell the man to get in, but again he refuses the help. "God will save me." The water rises up to the man's knees, when a helicopter hovers over him and drops a ladder down. "No thanks!" the man shouts, "God will save me!" and the helicopter flies off. Naturally, the man is washed away and drowns. When he gets up to the Pearly Gates, he asks Saint Peter why God didn't save him. "Are you joking?" says Peter, "He sent you two boats and a helicopter! What more did you want?"
