It's so weird to because if you really embrace this logic, shouldn't you be an AnPrim?

"Why do you drive a car when god gave you feet to walk on? Why do you eat farm grown food when God gave you the bounty of the forests to hunt and gather from?"

Like really unless you abstain from all man made technology there's not reason to make an odd exception for medicine alone.

The idea that your god is against readily available cures, maybe you are believing in the wrong guy.

Isn't it literal heresy too? Like the moral of the story of job is that policing internal faith through inflicting horror to test loyalty is bad and the work of the Adversary ("Satan"), or at least we should assume that's the intended reading considering how both Judaism and Catholicism centered following their laws and engaging in ritual. It's not until the Protestant heresy that this gets inverted and following the laws becomes whatever, performing ritual is just whatever you feel like, but what's really important is rigidly policing internal faith and testing blind, absolute loyalty to whatever the local religious leader says.

I mean obviously magic isn't real, these are stories written to serve social (binding communities together), political (smearing the authors' contemporary enemies by calling them gay or saying they're weird incest babies - the whole Lot thing is about smearing the tribe of Moab who claimed descent from someone named that), or cultural functions (establishing foundational myths and creating a unique cultural identity), but even in the context of their own theological framework these Evangelical death cultists are literally Satanic heretics who follow the Adversary from the famed scriptural parable "don't be like the Adversary because that's bad".
