And once again, personally, I experienced the death of a friend because her parents chose prayer over medical council. Perhaps they didn’t actually believe they were “bending God’s will”, but putting their daughter’s life on the line that’s exactly what they were attempting.

Ouch!

But that is pretty much why I always worry about any belief system that thinks they *know* what is "right" - I always want to ask "have you really considered all the implications of the scenario of you, maybe, perhaps, not being 100.00% right? Especially considering how easy it is for humans to delude themselves?"
