I'm a Christian, but I think people who decide to just pray when they get sick instead of getting medical attention are stupid. Praying about it is fine, but you have to realise that just praying won't do you any good.
If you have enough faith, it certainly will be cured. But, God's will may include you seeking medical attention anyway. With God all things are possible, but not always in the way you expect or want.
Faith is great, but you do still need to do everything that you can yourself. Seek appropriate medical attention, have them do what they can, and then leave the rest to God. "Faith without works is dead" (James 2:20)

It hurts. Comments like these genuinely make me feel terrible. If only I could see the world if religion never existed... I hope you overcome your brainwashing one day @sublimegamer
I agree with the above comments, but God is all powerful. Most times people must fend for themselves, but as Jesus said in Matthew 17:20,
"assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."
You know most things in the bible aren't literal? You have faith that God will heal you, but you have to go out and find the solution that God's given you. In this case it's doctors and advanced medicine.
