For Christian Scientists, prayer treatment works

[0016danielle]

so if one gets stabbed,do they just bleed out?

[117mcr]

christion scientists will see a kid on the streets both legs broken bleeding to death and has a tumor. all they will do nother and prayer infront of him

[Msamanda329]

if you believe in an impersonal god, which they do, you couldn't pray to him

[bobywins]

FUCKING LUNATICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[llwayneio]

Why only take this as far as medicine? why not try and pray emails back and forth? or pray that my hand works as a camera so I can record and upload to youtube without using modern technology.

That one lady talking about breaking her leg was downright nutty.

[lukewind30]

Prayer does nothing and solves nothing.

Child abuse occurs when a parent uses only prayer treatment if a child was ill and refuses scientific medical care. The ideas of Mary Baker Eddy put people's lives in danger.

Christian science began in the early 1900's. The concept of science and medical treatment back then still included blood letting and other strange practices. C.S. is a product of the time in which it was invented.

It has a lot of nice ideas but falls apart under critical analysis.

They see optometrists and dentists but avoid taking cholesterol lowering drugs. What difference is there in removing plaque from one's teeth or plaque from one's arteries? Again, this is why the religion is stuck in

The mind can do crazy healing things. If you fool it into thinking you'll get better, there's an incredible small chance that it'll help. It's like how positive thinking makes us healthier.

Christian Science, well, christian -anything-, what a joke.

The reason why people dont get CS is because you keep just saying the word prayer..to most people that is not a principle for them. CS is much more than that

It is a whole adjustment of your viewpoint. Treatment is a metaphysical system..it is not regular prayer by any means..This could be understood in this time by many people if conveyed in detail.

Of course going to a hospital would cost more that a CS Practitioner, but you have a better chance of surviving if you don't wait till the last minute to admit that your Faith and denial have failed you and you can get over the guilt & shame at being such a spiritual failure that you had to "lower" yourself to such an ungodly thing as going to a hospital and pharmacy. True, CS doesn't hold a club over your head 2 keep U from doctors, you do that yourself out of fear, guilt, shame & self blame.

[flabbyhabbybabby1]

I want to be a practitioner.

@flabbyhabbybabby1 SAD

[shadowshock2468]

...Uh quick question. Why is this called "science"??? Also, "helping" individuals???

[eran5005]

What a bunch of kooks

[djthejackal]

And if you pray for someone and he isn't healed... is that proof that god does NOT exist?

[Gatorade5152]

@djthejackal You just answered your own question, by an answer.

[jazzx251]

lol - "Prayer Treatment".

It was already tested by "Christian Scientists" .. and those who weren't prayed for were marginally better off!

[BrendanIsCool]

I would execute these fucking idiots in the street.

[savantkid]

DO YOU GO TO DENTISTS ???
