Didn't Steve Jobs die because he refused cancer treatments and instead sought holistic medicine. Lmao. Meanwhile Magic Johnson has had AIDS for how many decades and he is still living.

Prayer ain't gonna fukn do chit. Should have taken care of the problem when they had the fukn chance. It's their own fault for not having the procedure done at an early age. They made their bed and now they have to lie in it. How's that for religion and prayer?

Mariah Walton was born with a small hole in her heart, which could have been repaired in early life, but is now in and out of hospital for her condition, which has become life-threatening.

Are you retarded? Srs question.

Procedures work due to advancements in medical knowledge and technology, coupled with a competent surgical team.
Competent doctor's work because they went to school for 8 years and received 4+ years of residency training, and genuinely want to help their patients.

Both work due to probability and chance, not God.

I agree with sentiment of your post but I think you missed the part where this girl breathes in pain for the rest of her life because of a treatable condition that her low IQ parents refused to properly mitigate... It matters. We've dug ourselves into a hole where just simply attaching a religious reference to something absolves people of negligence or collusion. That's unacceptable.

Why can't god heal amputees , yet supposedly when a cancer patient goes into remission it's "god" ?

Is amputation the only thing he leaves up to the doctors? He just doesn't like healing people with missing limbs and would rather the doctors fix it with prosthetics?

Remember those televangelists that would lay their hands on some dude in a wheelchair and then he walks? Always wondered why they never had any amputees up there.

just because you don't understand His reasons doesn't make Him wrong.

He IS incapable of error.

you're just a too naive child questioning something beyond your understanding.

you're in the wrong here for questioning and doubting.

If this was in America I would have prayed too lol. brb 2.3 million dollars in medical bills after little suzy is "Fixed". brb a life time of meds.

.....this comment was a joke if you didn't get it. Absolutely would not rely on praying when a family member is dying and can possibly be saved by science.

You could extend that logic into rationalizing anything. That's what makes it a slippery slope and THATS what makes this a christianity problem.

So for illness it's best to work holistically, on the level of consciousness and biology.

IME most religious people (I have not come across one who is an exception) do not soley rely on intercessory prayer for illness, they respect/recognize that they exist as part of the natural world.

Those same parents do not sit down and pray to have their nutritional needs met, they eat and drink daily. But when it comes to physical illness, they have a double standard.
My personal opinion is that prayer gives a sense of mental strength through positive thinking that there is some greater being or hope that can change a current situation. Having hope and positive thinking can actually be influential in terms of healing and your body's well being, but you still have to get procedures done and get antibiotics. I personally utilize prayer and religion because I do believe I work a lot better being able to take a burden off my shoulders and say "God's will be done" and do the best I can instead of being paralyzed by fear and doubt.

Listen this will not go anywhere lol. There are so many instances of "god changing his plan" that it's modus operandi for them.

If evil is derived from perfection then how could there ever be a logical choice between the two?

I think therecouldbe a god but whatever it is it's infinite and neutral which kind of defeats the purpose.

Questioning is the sole reason that the human race is at the top of the food chain. It is the reason we understand so much of the world. We fukking discovered that microscopic organisms cause disease. We developed the fukking internet.

What do we always tell children? Never be afraid to ask questions. Asking questions is how we learn.

You seem to be against our very nature because of an ancient book written by MEN, not God, MEN. Written by MEN YEARS AFTER the events in the bible took place.

Ever played the game where you pass a message along in a classroom, and by the time the message gets back, it has changed completely? That happens in the span of minutes, yet humans who wrote the bible supposedly kept that chit consistent over decades?

But yeah, go ahead and call someone naive because they dare to ask a question in the one category you're not "allowed" to ask questions in.

I respect that viewpoint. Which is in alignment with religious naturalism.

Religious naturalists are like Joesph Campbell, they believe that the narrative, practices and rituals of myth can help human beings find well-being. Even though they don't believe they are literally true.

This is Reverand Michael Dowd, who is a religious naturalist Christian. Who I respect a great deal...

Ya I knew you'd say something like that. It's kind of like little kids putting their fingers in their ears or a mom saying "because i told you so!!" Once she runs out of explanations as to why a kid can't do something.

Like I said y'all can't back up anything and that's why it always comes down to two things

-god is incapable of error (it's Adam's fault)

-the bible said so, so let God be truth and every man be a liar






Answer this...
Why does god create hermaphrodites? Or is that also because Adam ate an apple that he decided to make some kids with both parts? I thought he made them MALE and FEMALE..not hermaphrodite?

What the actual fukc?!
Repped.
The Drowning Man

A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help.

Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, "Jump in, I can save you."

The stranded fellow shouted back, "No, it's OK, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me."

So the rowboat went on.

Then a motorboat came by. "The fellow in the motorboat shouted, "Jump in, I can save you."

To this the stranded man said, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith."

So the motorboat went on.

Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, "Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety."

To this the stranded man again replied, "No thanks, I'm praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith."

So the helicopter reluctantly flew away.

Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, "I had faith in you but you didn't save me, you let me drown. I don't understand why!"

To this God replied, "I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?"

Surely, God didn't make an error every single time an amputee prayed hard enough for their leg to grow back... I mean he must've at least answered one of their prayers! I apologize for being naive and being wrong for questioning or doubting any of his abilities. I actually find it shocking that there isn't one amputee out there who doesn't have enough faith to pray their limb back on to their body. Guess they just don't have what it takes

Retarded parents, criminal negligence.

No clue why this is being used to attack Christianity as a whole. Never heard any biblical references about not taking your kid to the hospital.
