Do Christian Scientists take paracetamol/Tylenol for headaches or they just pray the pain away?

Like an ex-smoker who always has a pack hidden somewhere, they most likely have a bottle squirreled away somewhere. Those people are freaking nuts but to each his own I suppose. What pisses me off though is when they involve kids in their lunacy. Children under 18 should not be allowed to be a member of the Christian Scientist crazy train.
@TrashCat

Yeah there's more than a few pretty heartbreaking examples of children suffering for their parent religious convictions.

Well you see, I uhhh, prayed on it. Yeah, and God said I should take medicine! Soooo, his will be done. 🤷‍♀️
@Straylight

Hmm i think you need to re-read Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures...
The say that God has a plan.

Then they pray to try and convince God to change his plan.
@Ryderbike

Yeah i do find that to be an issue with the idea of intercessory prayer.
@Pikachu it’s all a scam. All religions

They may do both lol

@Pikachu I agreee to a degree. In the Christian practice it’s a common thing to apply faith and works for miracles.

Whether Jesus asked if they believe then told them to physical “get up and walk” or a blind man was asked if he believed then Jesus used “spit and dirt” and put it over his eyes and he could see.

I align more with alchemy so I would use natural elements intel’s read of tylolonel
@Heavenlywarrior

Christian Science is a little different from mainstream Christianity in that way. They tend to fall on the side that it should be all miracles and no medicine.
Which is why they've had a number of child neglect and endangerment cases brought against them.

@Pikachu honestly I was once a Christian that believed miracles would just fall out the sky… then I realized that you have to work.

If their brain hurts, they use Preparation H
Why take the long way around ?

They take Fentanyl for the win
@bookerdana

I'm pretty sure they'd eschew fentanyl. At least for medical purposes.
if they are devout they pray
@SatyrService

I wonder how well that works for them.

Yeah, and if they got cancer, would they be like, god will handle this! or get their ass to the nearest chemo ward.

They're all completely full of shit those people.
@SW-User

Well i don't think it's a coincidence that their membership is in decline.
