Girl Dies After Parents Pray Instead of Seeking Help

As much as I hate to link to a Fox News story, I am. I'm all for praying. I think it's a good thing and I hear that people have had some amazing results from it. However, there is no reason not to take your sick child to the doctor! God provided us with a brain and we can use the brain to think through things logically. God has blessed some people with the ability to use their brain towards advancing medicine. Medicine helps people. There is nothing ungodly about medicine. While I believe that God wants to help us and He does, I also think that God wants us to take care of ourselves and each other. I think the reason God gave us the ability to think for ourselves is so that we would actually think. God works through lots of different people, including doctors. Stupid, stupid, stupid. There's a lyric by Rage Against the Machine: "When ignorance reigns life is lost." While in this case life being lost is quite literal, this goes for a lot of areas of life. Don't be stupid. Ignorance is an awful thing. Be educated and help save the planet from falling to pieces.
