(swine flue will take more than prayer, says reporter, emphasis mine)
Well that's a load of crock and bull. Devaluing God and prayer is the 'in thing' nowadays.(nodding smiley)Nothing will work more than prayer! These people think they are so smart in their ideologies, but alas, we are the smart ones.

Ahem. The express is "cock and bull" (as in, cock and bull story), but KarateMom is too much of a prude to ever let cock pass her lips.
Which almost makes one feel sorry for KarateDad.
Well, sure. Worked so well with the Black Death, when Europe was hyper-religious, after all. You go try that.
Explain to me again why praying for sick people doesn't really help them till they see medical attention...Case in point that family a while back that prayed for their diabetic daughter, a girl that had a curable form of diabetes, and she died...oh yeah, here comes the 'no true christian' clause
Hey KarateMom when you get H1N1 aka swine flu you stay at home and you pray to get better. Don't use Tylenol or Bennylin to control your symptoms. Don't use Tamiflu to help you fight it off. Don't go to the hospital to have them give you IV fluids because you can't keep anything down and don't you dare let them put you on a respirator because your lungs are turning into wet cement. No sir. You pray to your god to get better. I'll bring a white rose to your funeral.
I'm pregnant and suffering from H1N1 at the moment. The pregnant part means that I'm not able to take ANY over the counter cold/flu remedies. I'm putting my faith in man and the invention of Tamiflu.

Science - 1, God - 0.
No prayer required.
Your call, KarateMom.

Nothing FAILS like prayer.
Nothing will work more than prayer!
Inadvertant Truism Award?
Doing nothing at all will still work better than praying. Finally we agree on something (sarcasm mode OFF)
OK then, just let me give you this injection of Oropouche fever. No, you're not allowed to go to docs for treatment - just pray. I haven't heard of anyone dying from it, but it's bound to be a miserable time for you.
I dare you not to go to a doctor the rest of your life. Cancer never goes away by itself, you think prayer helps it? Do you ever notice how some kinds of illnesses can run their courses without treatment and some can't? That's because it's BIOLOGICAL. How come god can't do anything doctors can't do, hm?
The actual success rate for prayer is right around 0.0001%. This fluke is usually caused by the fact that what ever the person prayed for was going to happen any way. But hey, I'm just a stupid, gawdless heathen. Alas!
I had a collapsed disc in my lower back. I was going to just pray it got better, but I thought I'd hedge my bets and go to hospital so the paralysis of my legs wasn't permanent. I could've saved those surgeons 4 hours of their valuable time and prayed instead. Chances are I'd still be praying from the comfort of a wheelchair. Ya dick!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
