2nd Child Of Pa. Couple Dies After Only Praying

A couple serving probation for the 2009 death of their toddler after they turned to prayer instead of a doctor could face new charges now that another son has died.

Herbert and Catherine Schaible belong to a fundamentalist Christian church that believes in faith healing. They lost their 8-month-old son, Brandon, last week after he suffered from diarrhea and breathing problems for at least a week, and stopped eating. Four years ago, another son died from bacterial pneumonia.

Prosecutors said Tuesday that a decision on charges will be made after they get the results of an autopsy.

Fundamentalism in any religion is bad news .Boston and this are proof. People should never blindly follow any religion. Man has the ability to have rational thought, use it.

Reminds me of the old story of the man on the boat. Dummies, God gave smart people talent and motivated them to want to become healers. Your prayers had been answered.
