I am sure you are perfectly charming in person, Roni.

That's fair, Mercy, and quite reasonable. I think people who totally rely on prayer and god to cure or heal people are quite rare, realistically.

There was a case up here, in British Columbia, that was really controversial. A Jehovah's Witness couple had a very sick child...leukemia it might have been I think? I think the child was around 10-12 or so. She needed a blood transfusion and the parents wouldn't allow it, they refused, as it is against their religion. There was a big scandal over the whole thing- I believe a judge ordered her to get the transfusion in the end and it saved her life.

That is a whole 'nother can of worms, though.
