God started "working through" doctors.

Funny how he can't do anything that humans haven't figured out how to do themselves.

Alpha it wasn't always that way according to your fiction book ... If you weren't a close relative of Noah I would imagine the biggest cause of death was drowning ....

PS they now have a theme Park in Kentucky where you can celebrate the lead up to genocide ...
Religion is the top shelf of the supernatural supermarket ... Madog

Still can't understand what the point of this could possibly be.

A joke maybe?

I have some suspicions, but I'm going to keep quiet and see how it plays out.

Fair enough.

Let's wait for the punchline.

I hardly consider 250,000 deaths a year - and that's just in America - to be a joke.

Modern western medicine has increased life spans because it's really good at a few things:

- trauma care
- antibiotics
- certain vaccines

Other than that it's largely an industry that makes more money by keeping us sick, and it kills an awful lot of us.

Shit and run. May need to pray over that. Or try Imodium: http://www.rxlist.com/imodium-drug/indic...dosage.htm

Edit: Damn, the delta returned. But still a delta. Not going too address cancer, cardiovascular, endocrine, ..............?

Oh he's not joking everyone.

Or is it a double bluff?

Ah no, it's well poisoning. What's your point?

You do realise we're not in charge of it, right? It's not an atheist conspiracy.

Even some theists have been known to resort to medicine, I've heard. Shocking, I know. You'd think god would be enough to keep you safe.

You're not in charge of it, but the reaction indicates that you're not neutral and objective regarding it, either.
