Wow. Really?
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
"Since the creation of the Internet, the Earth's rotation has been fueled, primarily, by the collective spinning of English teachers in their graves."

BBC seems to have written a more detailed and even handed report on this.
I don't care who you are or what your intentions are, you really shouldn't tell a terminally ill person to not bother with doctors.

If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."

Check the source. It's worldnetdaily... which is comparable to Fox in it's very VERY right-wing bias. It also never had any credible foundation as an actual news source.
BBC though, does tend to be more fair.

I'll ignore part of this. You know where I stand on the TV news station wars. Plus it'd derail the thread in a jiffy.
But you're right, the BBC News article Cog posted goes into more detail.
If this post seems too utterly absurd or ridiculous to be taken seriously, don't.

Hey guys let's skew the facts and ignore the fact that he told her to not get medical help or see a doctor, and pretend instead that it's because he said the word "God!"
The persecution complex of some Christians is absolutely astounding. I know what I'll do, I'll go get a machine gun and shoot it downtown while loudly yelling "LISTEN TO ME, JESUS IS THE MESSIAH, ACCEPT HIM AND LIVE A LIFE OF HOLINESS!" and then when I get arrested I'll say it was because they're discriminating against my belief in God.
That's basically what the WND people are doing.

Nate's comment ALMOST makes me want to read the article, but I'm fed up with the media wars. They don't have cool sound effects.

Well, having read both articles, it definitely looks like WND has made it look like the guy was fired just for mentioning God.
I think he wanted to make it really public, didn't they mention something about him making the case public and revealing details to the media? Somehow I am willing to bet that this is going to turn into a huge deal.

Yeah, a friend on Facebook had posted that. I figured that wasn't the whole story. Things tend to be really one-sided sometimes and it's irritating. And it doesn't reflect well on Christians.
