“Kindly explain how spirituality would have resolved the problem of a hydraulically overloaded heart.”

Some Born-Again types believe that the Bible claims a perosn that sins has for four generations spite from God, so, your medical condition as a child was the result of someone having sinned in your family past and you were their punishment. I kid you not. They believe that with total conviction.

I was always taught that children were born innocent, yet, these type want to claim they are born of sin.

I can buy the "original sin" concept. What's odd is they claim one can overcome physical ailments via spiritual purity, while failing to note that the whole point of the Crucifixion & Resurrection was that we cannot overcome spiritual failing on our own. If we grant, for sake of argument, that physical ailments can be cured by spiritual purity, there is nobody capable of reaching that level of purity - so let the doctors do as they must to intervene.

Am reminded of a joke ending with God saying "I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what more did you want?"
