TYT: Faith-Healing Leads To Dead Kids



”An Idaho Republican said a proposed ban on faith-healing could violate the religious rights of her constituents – many of whom eschew medical care for themselves and their families.

“They have a clear understanding of what the role of government should be – (and it) isn’t how to tell me how to live my life,” said state Rep. Christy Perry (R-Nampa).”

Our Earth created the things here amongst us all so that we may prosper and have good health. Use them according to your sickness, or in good health. (Warning Do not use right wing ideas)

That's what I believe.
