Let me say upfront that I could have totally misread him, but I thought his point was that some religious zealots will outright refuse medical treatment in favor of praying or heavenly intervention and he considered that immoral.
It's actually how someone I know became crippled due to Polio.
I could have been totally off on what he meant by it, admittedly, he was kind of ranting.
