--- Quote ---At least six people have died in Britain after being told they had been healed of HIV and could stop taking their medication, Sky News has discovered.

There is evidence evangelical churches in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow are claiming to cure HIV through God.
Sky sent three undercover reporters to the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), which is based in Southwark, south London.
All of them told the pastors they were HIV positive - all were told they could be healed.
Once a month, the church has a prayer line, where people from across Europe come to be cured of all kinds of illness.

Churches like these should be charged with negligent homicide


--- Quote ---The Department of Health said it was very concerned: "Our advice is clear that faith and prayer are not a substitute for any form of treatment, especially for HIV treatment.".

On a similar note, I remember one of the youth pastors at the pentecostal church I used to go to telling a girl that she didn't need her anti-depressants - they were a crutch.

This same pastor was the one who told me that I'm using MY OCD and Tourrette's as a crutch.

I didn't like him.

For the record, I could post my opinion here, but it goes without saying.  But I'll say it anyways.

FUCKING RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!

Hasn't this happened quite a few times before? At this same church even.
