When 15-year-old faith healer, Boyd, is admitted and claims he can talk to God, House takes the case. House thinks the kid is a clever con untill the boy touches one of Wilson's cancer patients and causes her cancer to go into remission. Boyd refuses surgery on his brain because he believes it will take away his healing power, but as his condition begins to deteriorate and the condition of Wilson's cancer patient improves, House and his team must confront their own feelings about faith and God. Meanwhile, tension is still in the air between Cameron and Foreman after she accused him of stealing her idea for the medical article he had published in the "House vs. God" episode of HOUSE airing Tuesday, April 25 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

I hope they're clever with this...such a smart show resorting to mainstream God-bashing (or, on the other end, touchy-feely "religion") would depress me. :unsure: They have an opportunity to make it really good, though, and they're more than smart enough to...go House writers! *pumps fist encouragingly* :lol:

It doesn't have to be God-bashing. On Boston Legal they did something similar to this, except the case was Evolution vs Intelligent Design, and the episode came out surprisingly pro-Christianity, which was a pleseant surprise for such a liberal show. I already know that House and Cameron don't believe in God, but Wilson and Foreman have at least shown open-mindedness about it. I wouldn't dismiss it as God-bashing just yet. Then again, I could be completely, niaevely wrong.

The episode with the nuns in the first season handled it pretty well, and left the issue without a concrete resolution - it allowed the viewer to come to his/her own conclusions. If they handle it correctly, it could be very good.
