You've heard of pseudoscience. I think it's time to popularize "pseudomedicine"

* Disease is a punishment of sin
* Pregnancy as a punishment for sexual activity, especially for women
* Abstinence-only education enabling the madonna-whore complex
* Nonsense like "A true Christian is never depressed"
