Right, I've grokked that.
My question is thus. Person 'A' commits sin (Maybe one, maybe a dozen or more). How does the sin move from person 'A' to person 'B' and thence cause cancer (As the conversation is putting it).
Also... does that then imply that doing a sin then has the sin some how moving on and causing a bad thing such as a tidal wave to happen?
If so, how?
EDIT: I completly missed your line of, "Cancer (and viruses) are simply a physical expression of the spiritual reality."
Cool! What is a spiritual reality? How does it interact with us? How do we interact with it? WHat might we use to better detect such a thing?

I'm really unsure if you are being serious or deliberately thick. "Sin" on its own does nothing. God determines the consequences of all committed sin. God causes the cancer, because of the sin. This is truly uncomplicated.
Wait a minute.
I'm asking the 'How' of this sin you're talking about.
Like "How does the light bulb work?"
As for your comment "God causes cancer..." ?
So... your diety kills people then? Y'know, 'Fred died because his cancer caused life ending complications.'
Also... since you've mentioned that your deity seems to be all the 'Omnis' (Omniscient, omnipotent etc) THEN, while you are correct that your diety's powers do indeed have your diety killing people with cancer I feel we'll just spiral around the problem of 'Human's free will. Diety's predestination of Human's fate." type of conversation that you're already having with a couple of other posters/forum members.
After all:
"If said diety wants to prevent sin, but is unable. Then they aren't omnipotent."
"If said diety is able but does not want to, then it's malevolent."
"If the diety is both able too and wanting to. Whence comes 'Sin'?"
"If the diety is neither able nor willing? Then why bother with siad diety?"
(Yes, I'm ripping off a far smarter person's saying.)
Not at work.
