Religious Wars

This week we had a gem of a story where a girl died from diabetic ketoacidosis, while her family refused to seek medical help since they felt praying was the better option. Doctors figure she was probably suffering for around 30 days with nausea, vomiting, excessive thirst, loss of appetite, and weakness. And these morons waited around on their fucking knees praying instead of taking a trip to the hospital. Now I'm all for praying to whomever you like, whenever you want. I figure it can't hurt to have a little faith and hope and if you pray and see the doctors then the praying can't do any damage to your chances. But when you rely on prayer alone in a routine case of diabetes you're simply retarded.

It seems that praying for health is something that most religions have in common. And I have a new theory that we could use this to do a study and find out which religion is right. If we do a survey asking questions about prayer for health (in absence of medical aid of course) we should be able to find out which religion has the best success rate. This high success rate should point to the one true God(s). At this point we could abolish all other religions and finally unite the planet! The only hole I can find in this theory is that if the people being surveyed were too stupid to see a doctor they may not be able to fill out the questionnaire. A planet without religious wars would be a better place to be.
