carlosMM said:false, there's quite a bunch of 'christian' sects who claim that prayer should be the main force in healing. Go ask a JW, e.g., whether prayer is better than a blood transfusion.
Not false at all. Those christian "sects" you speak of are a vast, vast minority of christians out there. By far the vast majority of christians do not advocate prayer as an alternate to medical attention. To paint all christians in this light is extremely misleading and very unfair.
Check your facts before posting, willya?
Please check your own instead of citing small minority groups behavior as the norm.
Yes indeed - it is BS, utter BS, total BS. I feel it would be an arrogant aggressive intrusion into my life by someone I detest for his offensive missioning and typical born-again Christian hyposcisy (I may be wrong about you, having gotten a wrong impression through our debates here, so please read below).
Someone praying for someone else is not BS, but rather a very human expression of compassion. As a christian I have directly seen a lot of good come from prayer even if you would just chalk it up to "coincedence". Sorry, but I simply dont agree with you saying it is BS - I have seen too many peoples lives changed for the better.
You asked a straight question, you got a straight answer.
Fair enough. But I certainly wouldnt want to live in your cold uncompassionate world. No wonder liberals are very sad people.
I would - if I thought you a kind and willing-to-help person - be appreciative. I would still refuse the offer. But most people whom I have heard or seen (TV, radio) or whose statements on prayer healing I have read are arrogant, pushy about their beliefs and intolerant. So, no, and not even no thanks. There's nothing to thank for.
Well....one mans pushy is another mans compassion. Pushy, just like harassment, is relative to each person experiencing it.
