I can provide a list by religion of child sexual abuse in Australia. Catholic church way out in front but there was one religion with NO cases of child sexual abuse... Muslim. So all you folks who don't like Islam might like to think about that. https://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/
Disclosure: I think all religions are a waste of space.
Oh, but that one time a dude who has no historical evidence behind his existence cured one guy of leprosy, an incurable disease at that time! Checkmate, atheists!! (/s because god it gets hard to tell)
Diseases brought back by Anti-Science Theocrats in just the past 2 years: Chicken Pox, Measles, Polio, Smallpox, mumps, whooping cough, pertussis... Hey MAGA; Are you tired of all this "winning" yet?
Depends on your definition of diseases. If you consider some races of people to be diseases (like a true religious dickhead would), you likely don't have the time to manually populate that list.
Got a very Christian friend who thankfully is not unpleasant about it. She was discussing how something in her family was stigmatized because they were taught to pray etc etc. and I said “look, people prayed about it and look around at how much knowledge we have and what we can do about it. Seems like the science was how the prayers got answered. Seems like not using it is an affront to God’s gifts.” Funny to watch dawning realization creep across someone’s face.
Like that story (I forget where I heard it). Terrible flooding. Guy is stuck on the roof of his house. Someone comes by on a raft offering to help and he says “no. God will save me”. Same thing with fire dept sending a boat or something. Says same thing. Guy in a helicopter lower and ladder and he still refuses. “God will save me”. House collapses and he’s swept away and drowns. Gets to heaven and asks god why he didn’t save him. “I sent you a raft, a boat, and a damn helicopter.”
Another disease eradicated by science: Influenza Type B was eliminated in humans during the 2020 COVID pandemic because of masking, social distancing, and limited social contacts.
My father, trying to convince me acupuncture really worked, not giving me an answer when I asked if that was really the case then why wasn't it a treatment at the hospitals.
(Acupuncture has *some* effects on nausea and chronic pain, but not the arm long list of benefits acupuncturists want the populace to believe)
The answer is "because it isn't a profitable pharmaceutical." Western medicine, including hospitals, are obsessed with two things: manufactured drugs and scalpels. My entire life in the 20th century, the MD-recommended solutions to back pain, shoulder pain, whiplash, tendinitis, etc. was painkillers/ice, cortisone injections, and if those didn't work, straight to surgery. Surgery, for fucking tendinitis, because those choades couldn't admit PT works until the 90's.
The doctors wanted my dad to get actual surgery for *tennis elbow* ffs. He said to hell with that, and went to the closest thing we had to walk-in PT in the 80's (chiropractors). Took the chiropractor three months, but she cured Dad's elbow with soft tissue work, exercises, and posture correction. No surgery.
Yes, because doctors are a hive mind who will hide useful stuff that works from the population. Yes. Not at all because it's mythical claptrap on the level of religion and that tests done with 900 patients have shown the long list of mythical properties remain mythical. If you want to science denial then carry on, but bring some medical journals backing it up instead of anecdotes.
imagine being afraid of warming milk up slightly to kill bacteria. between the ivermectin, the right-wing companies bribing trump to drop regulations, the raw milk, and the general fear of everyone who isn't them, I now understand why the most prominent MAGA official needs to have a diaper bag every where he goes AND why none of his followers seem concerned that he's always shitting his pants.

I think most believers think prayers was heard since diseases are gone
Silver420Surfer
Religion is, still, a fucking disease!
CedricDur
Nuh, all of them were eradicated by prayer because godmagic made scientists to cure the diseases!
CUBErk
Joke’s on you, I prayed for science to do that for me.
CUBErk
By finding the right prayer, you can avoid doing everything and taking responsibility for anything.

Measles and pertussis are making a comeback…. Thanks to Raccoon Penis Enthusiast, RFKjr

Eradicated diseases brought back, by stupid, fucking Republicans: Measles. I wouldn't be surprised to see Polio return.

According to my family, my uncle's cancer was eradicated by prayer. But nobody talks about the gene therapy that might have helped.

Don’t worry. This administration will make diseases great again.

the Socratic method in action. you cannot always just give someone the answer. they have to be questioned and guided to finding the answer themselves.
(of course, this presupposes that they have some small reasoning ability as well.)

Hers is……. Limited. But it clearly never had occurred to her to think sbout it like that.

Only thing eradicated by prayer is indigenous people.

There's a reason why ambulances take sick and injured people to hospitals rather than churches.

Well yeah, getting molested isn’t likely to help any.

Uh, they are and they will do that, and if your stick a couple of martinis in one after work they'll actually admit it.

Do the same list but with diseases brought back by Republican policies.
