The Christian Science Church, which was founded in Boston in 1879, has pushed throughout its history to secure official recognition for its paid prayer practitioners. Their job, as outlined by the church's founder, Mary Baker Eddy, was to pray for healing and charge for treatment at rates similar to those of medical doctors.

This sounds like as big of a scam as scientology.

You guys think so narrowly.

Hell yes I want every nutjob who believes in this shlt getting it as treatment instead of real medicine. How could you not? Only change I see as necessary is requiring a price breakdown of what the actual costs of babbling are. I get billed for drugs, IV bags, and hospital food. Payment based on babbling should reflect the actual cost of babble production. Zero.

Pro:

prayer for healing will get these wankers out of the gene pool much sooner.


Con:

this is borderline separation of church and state issue. If this goes through, what other stuff are they gonna try to sneak through

Yeah whatever. I'm not a slippery slope kind of guy. It that crap held true, then according to rick santorum, everyone in MA, IA and wherever else gay marriage is legal would filing to marry hamsters and siblings. Actually where burly, westy and manimal live, that's a real threat.....so those states should hold the fags at bay.

And we can't outright shoot these idiots so I'm willing to compromise with the next best thing. Prayer for gangrene!

Riding past the morgue.
During my research of HSA and CDHP health care plans, (see linky) I dug up a list of what the IRS will let you pull from your HSA tax free, (IRS publication 502) and "Christian Science Practitioner" is listed among eligible expenses. The list I have is for the 2008 tax season, so I'm not really sure what the big deal is. It seems to me that the government has already condoned child and health endangering quackery as legitimate for tax reasons, so why not. Besides, any "Christian Scientist" that is looking for health care hasn't been paying attention in church. :crazy:

I want to practice Christian Science Dr. Assisted Suicide.

Actually I already hope and pray that most people die already. I just want to get paid for it.

Yet, the Christian Science Monitor is possibly the best outlet for international news and analysis available. Go figure.
