Do you think that it should be legal for parents to use prayer as a method of healing to their children?

I recently read an article on a mother who relied on prayer to try and heal her now dead child. Do you guys think prayer should be allowed as an option? This is open to everybody, so please keep it…Continue

Wayne replied to Daniel's discussion 'What happens if Islam, or another religion unifies and makes it their sacred journey to convert or kill all others?'"I highly doubt it could be stopped without lethal force. Well, wait until they're on your property, then if they attack you, you are within all rights to DEFEND YOURSELF.

Wayne replied to Grace H's discussion 'The WBC. Is this for real? why? (real question)'"I pity the fool who has any sympathy for these people, even the children are taught to preach this message, and while I do pity the children, they are the scum of our society, that which has no place in a infinitely growing culture and…"
Mak Kurtis replied to Wayne's discussion 'Do you think that it should be legal for parents to use prayer as a method of healing to their children?'"Sure, it certainly can't hurt, but ONLY if it's used as a supplement to proper health care, not as a replacement."
Shine replied to Wayne's discussion 'Do you think that it should be legal for parents to use prayer as a method of healing to their children?'"Ah, good point, Malcolm. Maybe the parallel would work better if I were to suggest that prayers be used as an actual form of currency...still, it doesn't sound right. I guess I was just trying to apply the concept of directed…"
Dustin replied to Wayne's discussion 'Do you think that it should be legal for parents to use prayer as a method of healing to their children?'"I like this comment - I never thought about it like this before! "
Malcolm replied to Wayne's discussion 'Do you think that it should be legal for parents to use prayer as a method of healing to their children?'"Th problem with this line of reasoning is that with a mortgage, all that matters is whether the payment was made, not whether it was attempted, whereas with medical treatment, since outcomes cannot be assured, one can only insist that it is tried."
Shawna replied to Wayne's discussion 'Do you think that it should be legal for parents to use prayer as a method of healing to their children?'"No. No. No. NO. No. HELL NO!
If you want to pray, that's fine and dandy, but for the love of Basement Cat, get the kid proper medical attention!"
Chris Thomas replied to Wayne's discussion 'Do you think that it should be legal for parents to use prayer as a method of healing to their children?'"As long as it is used as well as conventional medicine I see no harm in it.
But if mumbojumbo (including silly remedies like homoeopathy, exorcism, sacrificing a pig etc) is used INSTEAD of conventional medicine then the person that caused…"
Shine replied to Wayne's discussion 'Do you think that it should be legal for parents to use prayer as a method of healing to their children?'"If prayer is to be a legally condoned method to treat illness, then it should also be a legally condoned method of paying the mortgage. After all, if the premise is that wishful thinking and divine supplication will solve a problem, why limit…"
Jon Heim replied to Wayne's discussion 'Do you think that it should be legal for parents to use prayer as a method of healing to their children?'"if prayer is the only course of action you are taking, you are literally doing nothing and should be charged with medical neglect."
Malcolm replied to Wayne's discussion 'Do you think that it should be legal for parents to use prayer as a method of healing to their children?'"The fact that they are using prayer should be irrelevant, since it is not a form of medical treatment. Basically, the question should be, did they seek appropriate medical care for their child? What they do outside of this (such as prayer) is not…"
Malcolm replied to Wayne's discussion 'Do you think that it should be legal for parents to use prayer as a method of healing to their children?'"Well, even in the case of sexual intercourse with a child, some cultures permit it because it is allowed in their religion. For example, among the prophet Mohammad's many wives was at least one who was under the age of 10 when he married (and…"
Jason D. Johnson replied to Wayne's discussion 'Do you think that it should be legal for parents to use prayer as a method of healing to their children?'"For a person to deny proper medical care to a child is a crime. There is no middle ground. Prayer or no prayer. The mother who denies her child good, proper medical care for ANY reason, is solely responsible for the death of her…"
Wayne replied to Wayne's discussion 'Do you think that it should be legal for parents to use prayer as a method of healing to their children?'"The only thing that unites us is that we have no belief in a deity, that is what makes us atheists, aside from that, we're all entitled to our own opinions, who knows, someone just might think differently."
