Cause they've got the jesus, so it's not them being neglectful.

They just need to find a paladin. Hopefully she didn't release yet.

That book, on the argument of logic, my not be a great work of philosophy, but when you read certain parts it's actually kinda of impressive (the part where it shows how different predictions have come true and how some seem to actually contradict one another but how things worked out).

I've already reached the conclusion that...I lose nothing by believing in something that pushed you to be nice, get along, etc.

Edit - So, yes, it wouldn't matter if you were right about it...I wouldn't stop believing unless God came to me and told me He didn't exist, but...that would just be silly.

We as humans are not on a level where we can explicitly understand every little thing God says and does. I'm a bit curious though, where did you get your impression of God and his love toward his people? I'm not accusing or anything, just wondering.

And if he had intervened, and there was a religious blog about how a girl was cured of diabetes by prayer, would you believe it?

That's always a great way of explaining it. "If evidence seems to state that something doesn't work, we'll just say that we can't understand what God wants from us, so don't question it."

And no, I wouldn't believe it if someone claimed to be healed by prayer. I'm not stupid. A little insulin might have done the trick however.

Would it have hurt him to send them a sign? Maybe one of their shrubs out in the front yard could have caught fire and told them to go to a doctor.

We all do what we do. Sometimes, evidence may not point to something...but either way, I find it's worth believing in

I can certainly respect that.

Maybe it's just because I'm going into the medical field and currently taking Immunology, Medical Microbiology, OTC's, and Physio, but it seems silly to me to seek a supernatural solution to a physical problem.

But they have faith. With faith you dont need logic of proof.

Sometimes, having Faith in something that may not be "logical" is better because it gives me hope. And I think a man without hope is a broken man and when I look at people I consider "broken" I think that honestly...I'd rather be dead. And when you read the Bible, understand what it's saying, a lot of it is good advice.

Edit - And I'm not trying to convert you to my beliefs. Especially over the internet.
