See how tolerance works?
No, not from you, really. Looking at the number of times you've called others 'ignorant' for their opinions on this thread alone, you don't really seem very tolerant.
ideology behind prayers when it leads parents to effectively kill their children
Good god, the 'ideology' of praying isn't to kill one's own children, it is to reflect and to seek help from a deistical figure. People don't pray 'God, please kill my child.'
Granted, there have been cases where children have died because of denied medication, but this has nothing to do with praying. When people pray, they ( I hope) pray with good intentions. It is Religion, the belief that divine intervention will save you rather than medication thats leads to these neglected deaths. Praying merely gives someone a platform for someone to express his religious feelings, it is entirely harmless.
