Take it for what it's worth.
If it turns out God exists, how do you like your chances of getting into heaven when you pass?

Then why are parents prosecuted when it doesn't work for their children?

Gotta love the Republicans, only they could serve up a plate of dog poop and try to tell everyone it is a steak.

That is quite a big if one would have to be banking on. I think it is safe to say that a manmade God is fictional.

Do ya' think this would work for us non-believers, too, or wouldn't it matter anyway to Mr Klingenschmitt?

Gordon Klingenschmitt (R), a state representative in Colorado, is proposing repealing the ACA and in its place, Americans should turn to God for their health care.

"If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you,’” Klingenschmitt said, quoting Exodus 15."

GOP lawmaker proposes Obamacare replacement: Rely on Jesus for health care

It seems Republicans do have a plan to replace the ACA if they manage to repeal it after all. Good to know.
Even I as an atheist can see that the Lord God has had a better track record of rollouts than Obamacare.

And btw, studies have shown that religious faith does tend to improve health. The jury is out on whether Obamacare does, but I doubt that there is much cause for optimism.

If "relying on God" was a viable healthcare plan, the Southern US should be the healthiest place in the entire world!
