Measles Outbreak at Vaccine-Denying Church

[Mister Agenda]

It's always hard to believe that there people this dumb.

The only thing these people are guilty of is the idea that God can not work miricals through science, and as a result have shunned what they do not understand. Which ironically, is true for the majority of atheist I have spoken with over the years. The only difference between this one extreme and the atheist extreme is that you hold opposing views on God.

Plus, our children are properly vaccinated.

It seems as though God is incapable of working miracles without science.

I pointed out that I had a positive Hiv test along with some flagship symptoms of full blown AIDS, and upon my follow up two weeks later my symptoms were gone and my test came back negitive. The only thing I did was pray durning that time. My doctor called it a mirical and even tried to document the case but was dismissed because 'science' was not able to classify what had happened.

I'm very glad you don't have HIV. But all that happened was that you got a false positive while being under the weather. It happens, and people who don't pray about it or pray to a different god about it also sometimes find out they've gotten a false positive, too. The test isn't foolproof. Your doctor couldn't document it because there was no evidence but the test and a subjective diagnosis that you had HIV in the first place.

Well, I guess it happens often enough to be given a classification now, but still it can not be explained unles someone calls it (by faith) a mutated form of HIV.

Or a false postive. The accuracy rate of HIV tests varies, the more accurate ones tend to also be more expensive. An accuracy rate of 99% (way better than the ELISA test, which has a reputation for false postiives) means that a test will either give a false positive or a false negative on one person in a hundred.

Again God does alot in ourworld today. It's just dismissed because 'science' can not reproduce what He alone has done. and because scientist can not reproduce it, it is somehow dismissed as not being possiable.

Maybe it's dismissed because people who believe it give such bad examples.

What a backwards way to think.

Highly debatable, but even if it were, it's not as backwards as thinking that one of the messages of the Bible is to not have your children vaccinated.
