News: Girl Dies After Parents Pray for Healing

[SteveS]

SteveS, it would be delusion, but the authors of the DSM IV put an asterisk in the delusion section which gives people who believe in ceiling cat a free pass. It's religious propaganda that's weaseled it's way into science, not unlike creationism. It's that asterisk that prevents these people from being institutionalized, and that is indirectly responsible for the death of this child and many others.

Ahhh --- got it.  The infamous asterisk.  Sort of like Barry Bond's home run record.
