Bath Christian group’s ‘God can heal’ adverts banned
[Quote]:
A Christian group has been banned from claiming that God can heal illnesses on its website and in leaflets.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said it had concluded that the adverts by Healing on the Streets (HOTS) – Bath, were misleading.
It said a leaflet available to download from the group’s website said: “Need Healing? God can heal today!”
It turns out Jesus never finished medical school…

As of Mark 7, Jesus even declared basic hygiene to be unneccessary, where he ridiculed the old tradition of washing hands and cups before eating, and declared that (Mark 7,15) “Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them.”
Physicians who wanted to introduce hygiene in hospitals in the 19th century faced fierce resistance. I can imagine that the christian ideology “all humans are sinful, only the salvation of the soul is what matters, the body is insignificant, suffering is good” played a significant role in this resistance and was (again) responsible for unneccessary suffering and countless deaths.
I guess they could amend the wording to, “Hypochondriac hysteric? God can heal today!”
Not saying the healing is permanent though.
