So, will the pastors be charged with illegal practice of medicine and manslaughter? (unless of course, it can be proven that they actually thought it better that these sinners should die from the untreated disease, then it's murder)

Personally I think of it as criminal brainwashing and it should be illegal.

Illegal practice of medicine? Criminal negligence and reckless endangerment?

Oh trust me, based on what I've experienced in parent meetings, there's a font of stupid out there...sad but true. I look at some kids and think, "Dude, with parents like them, you are DOOMED." Sadly, the less brain cells often equals more kids. Many more kids.
