I thought a strong faith in God was a psychiatric illness

Like my overly religious coworker's mother dying of cancer. I felt bad for her but when I heard her say, "It's ok, my mom got everything she prayed for before dying." I had to walk away.
She didn't pray for a cure? She didn't pray for one last trip to the beach? What should be said is she knew she was dying, and greater reduced her hopes and dream to very small stuff like seeing her kids one last time.
I later heard her say something like, "God must have know I could handle this." :dw:

I hear my wife say something similar; or people say it to both of us. That God gave us our daughter because he knew we could handle it. But then I want to say, fine, who cares about me, what about my kid. She can't handle it. I feel worse for kids that never get a chance at any real life experience.
Oh well. One foot in front of the other, keep on trucking.
He was 29

Long time to suffer. Props to your family.
LOL
Three of the top five happiest countries in the world are also in the top 10 of the least religious countries in the world.
As matter of fact, with the exception of a couple of former Soviet states [and Mongolia], where religion was actively suppressed, the top 11 least religious countries are the ones with the highest living standards:
The top 11 most religious countries are mostly living under Third World standards, with the exception of the UAE:
So the typical SVTP bible-thumper will say: "But wait, most of those Third World, religious countries are mostly Muslim. It's the wrong religion, so you can't throw that in the face of us Christians!"
Well, let's look at this then:
Another interesting thing is, the most religious state in the US by percentage is also one of the least educated [by percentage of HS and College graduates]: Mississippi. In the meantime, two of the least religious states in the US, Vermont and New Hampshire, count as the two highest-educated states in the US.

I will stay out if this except to say Wurd, good on you for your honesty. Most people on either side would rather ignore or hide than to post anything that might give the other side ground to stand on. You've always been a respectable guy in my book, just different beliefs.
Second. Jasonmark, nothing hurts me more than to see or hear about a child suffering. We all deal with horrible tragedies in our lives, some worse than others, but children simply don't deserve it for they are truly innocent. Continue to stand strong with your wife, and I too will stand in prayer for your daughter's health and healing.

copy that on both.
Thanks for the thoughts
This has been a refreshing SVT thread.
He was mocking the study and you didn't get that? That should not have gone so far above your head.
Because you don't need schooling, science or any fancy works of man when you got all your answers in the Lord. Question nothing, and just keep quoting "his" book.
:lol:

I'm sorry to hear about your daughter.. I can't imagine what this must be like...
If a person believes they have someone helping them, in this case, god, then obviously they are going to respond better. That's like saying if someone has a strong family that's supportive and loves them, they reapond better then someone who has nobody. Well no ****ing shit caption obvious.

Here is a 10 year long study on the effectiveness of prayer for recovery of medical patients. So gawd works but prayer doesn't. A bit confusing. Maybe the gawd knew they did not want to get better and just wanted to tempt him?

I guess it did lol. I skimmed over it and saw nothing to really comment on so I let it go. If he was mocking then so be it. He's still an alright dude in my book regardless.
He is sneaky clever like that. Gotta put him on the smart-ass watch list!
