No, I have not gone through one suffering under a cruel master, nor has anyone tried to tell me that's what's supposed to happen. Again, no one is offering me the reward of ruling the cosmos if I go along with it, and no one put Jesus through torture for more than a week. The analogy between Jesus' shitty week, and a slave's lifetime doesn't work.
In the orginal context of the quoted message you use the person I was speaking to said something to the effect that their is no difference/no way to tell the difference between what someone claims to be the hand or will of God helping them in their life, and a mental illness.
I simply pointed out that mental illness does not lend itself to a successful business, strong family bonds even in the face of challenges, and a long history of spiritual as well as physical sucess. If that person thought it did it was on him to provide a case study on that particular mental illness, that helps one obtain and maintain a successful life.
You said this was about prayer. If you take the time to read what I wrote carefully you will see this has nothing to do with prayer nor does it have anything to do with the topic being discussed here in this thread.
