Christianity in Ghana and the Spiritual Sickness

[BrokenQuill92]

What's funny is I just dealt with this shit last night. I was having one of my headaches. Which can leave in the fetal position for hours. And my mother actually said, "Maybe it'll stop hurting if you just ask God for help!" Da'fuk!

So?  Try it. 

That will teach you (and presumably her) that fucking god can't even cure a headache in spite of the claims of his idiot believers.

I was actually afraid for my safety which I'd never felt before. I was thinking that what if I had gotten to the point where I was beyond words (which has happened), and all she did was tell me to pray. I'm not sure why it freaked me out so badly last night, when usually I trust my mother the most in the world. But all I can think is that I don't EVER want to be that close to loosing consciousness near a religious person again. Not ever again.

My mother is the same way. I love her, more than I can express--but I don't trust her as far as I can throw her when it comes to the issue of medical emergencies.  She fucked around for days praying about a life-threatening medical condition of a close family member, before she finally called 911. The family member survived, but now has serious renal impairment--the direct result of a more than 72 hour delay in treatment. I can't remember ever feeling such disgust with someone I've known personally, and it's disturbed me to have such feelings towards a parent. I got over the anger eventually, but it does not change the fact that my mother cannot be trusted to make a sound decision when it comes to life or death. Please keep your phone on your person at all times. I hope you are able to see a doctor soon, if you haven't already.

I wonder if I qualify for one of those life alert badges?

Possibly. Couldn't hurt to contact you're insurance provider and find out.
