But you see, you're wrong, enegue. I don't care if you pray all day and all night as long as you don't withhold medical treatment from a child because of it or try to force me to do it. Knowing the difference between myth and reality is not extreme. Wanting children not to die is not extreme. Did you notice where I said that if those parents had prayed while doctors treated their child, there would have been no tragedy? But that's not good enough for someone who takes an extreme position, is it? You want me to endorse prayer alone as a medical treatment. Call the fact that I won't do it extreme as much as you want. I think we all know who is extreme.

Hi WogVirgilDog,
Thanks for summing it up so neatly Wog. Very succinct & to the point. I, as always, appreciate your insight. Some people are very slick, sly & tricky in their twisting of the facts to match the twists in their minds. Aside from the slickness involved, it just doesn't make sense to a simple but joyful animal like me.
Wagging my tail in delight at your eloquence! 
Love,
JoAnn

Which or these represents the most YOU are willing to do, wog? - Offer Prayer, alone?
- Seek medical treatment, alone?
- Seek medical treatment, and offer prayer?
If it's not the third, you are not doing all you can do, which makes you negligent.
Cheers and God bless,
enegue

For a person throwing around labels of "extremism" and "extremist" lately, have you considered any other possibilities than just the three you presented?
If Wogdog had proclaimed himself to be a Christian or a member of any faith for that matter, your point might have validity. Otherwise it seems to be judgmental.

Show me that study, enegue. That's all I ask. Show me that well-designed study I mentioned before and I'll be praying every day and shaming people who rely on medicine alone. Otherwise you might as well try to find me negligent for not eating chocolate chip cookies with my toes while standing on my head and singing "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Hi, wog.
I having some difficulty finding the text of the particular testimony that you quoted back here. Will you oblige me by posting a link to the document. I followed your link to the "uneven tire wear" testimony and searched for some text in it just to verify that they were allowing their site to be scanned and indexed, and had no trouble.
Cheers,
enegue

Working conditions at the Christian Scientists are poor--first of all, no sick days!
