Talking and agreeing with yourself on a message board could be construed as a sign of mental illness, just saying.

Shhhhhh, don't let her know... It could be disorienting for her.

😂

i like the idea of stupid people refusing medicine and praying.

It could be seen as a form of natural selection & survival of the fittest, so take that ID-clowns!

But if 1 out of 100 survive, then it will be a miracle and proof of the hand of god in their minds. We don't want to feed their delusion.

That already happens, see any of Sithsaber's "man survives after being terminally diagnosed, Jesus saved him" threads.

True, but now we can put then in jail. 😉

that can only lead to more dead idiots. win/win

Yeah, I kinda like Schecter's line of thinking. I might just have to become a "Jesus Saves" anti-Darwinian to do my part for natural selection.

Many believe that religious beliefs can lead to better health, and there is some basis for that conclusion. The same people should not, however, ignore the evidence which also leads to the opposite conclusion: that religion can be detrimental to health.
In a sense, religion can be considered a form of complementary or supplementary therapy. However, I don' t believe that religious healing can be a substitute or alternative for standard medical care.

Some patients believe god will protect them or that their illness is a divine punishment, believing god is the ultimate decision-maker.

Illnesses in god’ s hands?

I believe that with our belief in God that illness can be reversed for it is God showing us that he wants us to come to him and believe that he will save us only by grace. For we are sinners in Gods eyes and only through our suffering can we follow him. They have said that if we pray to God and follow him with obeiance then only because of Jesus can we get into hevan.

Religion and the belief that God will show me the way in the world helped me get out of some bad situation in life. It has healed my anxiety and depression. Belief in God helps with mental health and the understanding when you are going home to God.

The mind is powerful when it comes to the body. Belief can heal us, to a point.

I don't know the point of no return. There are some forces of nature that the mind cannot over come.

I was talking more in terms of diseases. However, keep in mind, some people have survived getting shot, even stabbed, in the head.

That is why I said I don't know.

Also two more things on that note:

Some Nicheren Buddhists beleive you can stimulate your immune system by concentrating on your thyroid and spleen to active further production of antibodies and white t cells to combat foriegn invaders.

I found this somewhere, i will find the link.

Also, I beleive stem cell research will make a huggge difference. Scientists have already produced fresh human blood, and have grown a human heart in the lab.

Yes, and Mozart can be played on guitar. My point is that is take time and practice to increase and use this ability, but anyone can to it.
