Any other blogs you'd like to enter as "research?"

Quote:There are several documented cases (mine was not one of them, even though my doctor at the time tried.) But now it is well documented that people do get Healed, but as I said their either labeled a faker or their strain of the HIV virus was somehow compromised and the body fought it off on their own somehow. God is seldom if ever apart of the equasion in the official documentation. Even if the patient is convinced.

Okay, Drich: let's say I accept your story as true. Absolutely nothing in what you've presented even remotely indicates that your specific god reached down from the heavens and healed you. You had a thing, and you got better from that thing: you've presented no reason for any of us to believe that whatever praying you were doing in any way affected this, or that the god of your religion was involved at all. You've just made a huge leap of logic, completely without justification, and are now making up some hostile conspiracy to keep down evidence of similar claims from the official sources.

The absolute best one could say about your story is that you got better from being sick and you don't know why. Stop trying to cram your god in every hole in your knowledge; I know there's a lot of them, but he just doesn't fit.

That's because my 'healing' wasn't for any of you. It was for me. It was my wake up call it was my alarm bell and it was the catylist for me to change my direction in life.

I even said this in my orginal post, that I asked God to help me change my life whatever the cost. My 'health' was the price. Once I accepted the price God refunded the cost.

God generally works with one person at a time on an indivisual level. For all others who see the help an indivisual get, God can be dismissed. (Thus ensuring they too have to make the same choice the person getting the Help had to make.) But, for the one who received the help, there is no doubt. For the indivisual that is all the 'proof' they need.
