Thread: Russian Pirate Church formally requests to be an official religion

We were briefly mentioning "faith-healing" and churches which claim visiting a doctor is a lack of faith. Here is a current example of this:

Faith-healing couple Dale and Shannon Hickman sentenced to 6 years in jail | Mail Online

From the article:

A couple who prayed and rubbed olive oil on their dying son rather than calling 911 have been sentenced to more than six years behind bars.

Dale and Shannon Hickman, both 26, were convicted of manslaughter in September for the death of their son, David.

The baby boy was born two months early at his grandmother's home and died nine hours later when he had trouble breathing and turned blue.

On Monday, a judge told the couple, who are members of a controversial Oregon faith-healing church, that they could have done more to save their baby.

They cried and hugged after being sentenced to 75 months in prison and three years of probation.

Sentencing the couple at Clackamas County Court, Oregon, Judge Robert Herndon said: 'As the evidence unfolded and the witnesses testified, it became evident to me and certainly to the jury … that this death just simply did not need to occur.'
