"Praying" on the Disabled

from TheThinkingAtheist Hosted by The Thinking Atheist

How do those with disabilities feel when religious people declare them sinners, a life lesson, or a miracle just waiting to happen? We explore this subject, and the stories of various listeners who have been labeled, named, claimed, prayed over, and in some cases, ignored.
