Comments on: Faith vs medical science

The Bible calls to mix faith with wisdom… (read the first few chapters of Proverbs). If a Christian is sick, it is WISE to take care of yourself, granted we are always praying fervently and faithfully, seeking God’s help. HOWEVER, if we don’t care of ourselves enough, as our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit in which God calls for us to take care of ourselves(I Corinthians 6:19-20), then we are going against His directions. If we don’t seek medical help, AS WELL AS prayer, why would God want to help someone who doesn’t want to help themselves…

How convenient for you to be able to make up whatever suits you so you can have your faith and science, too. What about those little tiny babies who starve to death because they can’t do for themselves? How about all the abused and neglected children in the world who cannot defend themselves? What about the millions of people in the world who do not have access to medical care? They pray to a silent god and die. You are living under a shell.

just like II Thessalonians 3:10, God tells us that if any would not work, neither should he eat… God blesses hard work.

Tell that to the poverty stricken people who work from dawn till dusk and are lucky to get one ration of food a day.

God takes pride in our bodies and our health, as He created us, but also calls us to work, and not be lazy, for He is not lazy.

Hurricane Katrina ring a bell? The tsunami disaster? No help came from a god, but help came from HUMAN BEINGS.

If we sit around waiting for a miracle, isn’t that going against God’s wishes, by being lazy?

Your god seems to think it’s ok since he sits silently and does nothing as humans kill each other, and fight over who’s god is real and whose is not. You are making up your religion as you go along to suit yourself.

What are YOU smoking?? Religious leaders preach hate because that’s what their books do best.

I hope everyone can get together to come together but it’s impossible for that to happen, not even a chance in a billion because humans generally have not learned to let go of the vengeance and practice forgiveness. Religious books have taught people to let go and forgive but how many so called religious leaders abide to that when they should be the ones preaching that.

It’s very hard for humans to forgive that’s why it’s an supreme act of compassion if you do that.

My point is that everyone on this earth needs to come together and work things out. Maybe then if we all stop whining we can help fix this planet for our children to live on.

Explain to me how that’s going to happen when one religion says followers of a different religion must die?

Now try not to think of this as hate mail because that’s not the intention. Rather I would like to say that though Christians get blamed for being the the most intolerant religion on earth it has yet to be seen that the ACLU and other groups like it pass laws that in themselves take away from what the United States is and that is a free nation for all to be able to come and practice religion in their own way. It was meant for people to be able to come and live in peace. The problem is the “squeaky wheel”. I think everyone should have a voice not one dominate over the other. Equality, no matter if your skin is different or you believe in God. Now I believe God is real. Granted their are many religions that would say their’s is too and that would be a good conversation to have. My point is that everyone on this earth needs to come together and work things out. Maybe then if we all stop whining we can help fix this planet for our children to live on.

I wonder if a study of lawsuits by religious belief has ever been done and if so what are it’s findings. HMMMM??? Do believers sue more often? Do non-believers sue less?

That’s the genuine recipe for toddy all right, Naomi.

And isn’t it interesting how reluctant most of those religious leaders are reluctant to die for their god. If martyrdom is such a wonderful thing for Muslims, why aren’t the imams and mullahs leading the charge? Fucking hypocrites, all of them!

Ah, a hot toddy! It was my father’s “cure of choice” for anything and everything. I drank my share over the years. To the scotch and hot water, he also added a teaspoon of sugar. Must have come down through my Scottish allotment of genes…

Hovind, et.al.? Easy money, betting that he will be celebrated as a martyr/persecuted xian. After all, that’s the most glamorous part of the glorious jesusX urban legend! However, don’t put any money down on “willingness to die for jesusX”; in reality, the charlatans do draw the line somewhere

Funny, isn’t it? Each time this happens, they think that they just invented it. When, in truth, there’s nothing original anywhere in their mythology.

(*yawn*)
