If God is the one true healer, I wonder why the people who claim that almost all seek treatment from the people they claim to deride, the scientists. Surely if their faith was strong enough they would reject all treatment and allow God the Healer to do his work without help?

I agree. If a patient truly believes prayer will help cure him/her, who am I to argue? Live and let live.

If a fake medicine can make you better, then why not a non-existent god?
