Prayer Death
#11
RE: Prayer Death
Quote:It really doesn't matter what anyone thinks about it.
Yes, all we have are opinions about someone else's business...

I just don't like seeing a parent praying their kid to death (a tragedy itself) associated with some flaw in belief or prayer. The flaw is in the parents, not in the structure of their beliefs.

Quote:That proves just how useless prayer is.

Like that. We just had this same argument. Prayer is not demonstrated as useless if someone uses is incorrectly. Parents that kill their kids with lack of medical treatment have nothing to do with the validity of personal coping mechanisms... But seriously, it must not have been 2 weeks ago I was saying the same retort to someone else who dismissed the possible power of prayer for the same exact reason...

Prayer must hold some power, if only to get a parent to watch his child die while trying to pray the sickness away. That must not be easy, or do people who believe in god not love their children?
But it is none of my business, and all I have are my little opinions.
Thanks,
-Pip
