Note the argument I make below. That in effect, many mainstream Christian denominations make references to God "healing" us even of physical ills; as does the Bible itself. So faith-healing is still there, on one level.But especially I note that the emphasis in "faith healing" is part of the emphasis even in allegedly better, higher, more modern Christian churches, on "Faith."
As it turns out, there are problems with faith itself. In that believing in things without evidence, causes people to ignore medical problems, and to oppose the science that would help them. A more general denigration of science will be seen to cause even liberal Christians, some very considerable problems too.
Fundamentalists inadvertently killing their own children through "faith" therefore is "just the tip of the iceberg," as many are correctly noting. "Modern," "Liberal" Christianity, we will be showing next, does many of the same things. Just at a more subtle level. As we'll be showing here soon enough, no doubt.
