Or when they tell people who get sick or have a chronic illness that their condition is due to a lack of faith. Apparently inadequate belief in their deity can cause cancer and all kinds of other fun things.
Sounds suspiciously like Catholicism. Better to die than to let a boy touch you. Maria Goretti . Quite the lesson I learned in elementary school. Although, to be fair, I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to prevent happening. But I knew it was better to be dead.
Maria Goretti became a saint. Maybe that’s the plan in whatever Mennonite sect this is. I don’t know how that works, but if you become venerated for letting your child die for lack of a vaccination, that’s just messed up.
