They're childlike in their lack of logic and belief in magic. Best wishes to your mother.

Here is a suggestion. Next time ask her to skip the Pet scan and the other medical advances and go directly to church. Try the pray routine without and medical treatment. She how that works???

Sorry to hear your mom is going through this.

I find religious people funny rather than pathetic. A few month back I had V-fib, was basically dead for 10 seconds until my car crashed and the jolt put me back into rythme. A very religious friend of mine, who knows I am Atheist, told me that god saved my life so that I could accept him. After I stopped laughing I told her she just gave me a good reason not to believe, since by her logic, if I was a believer I would have stayed dead!! ? That made her stutter and back pedal pretty quick.

Any excuse to flaunt their piety is a good one. The fact that you were subjected to two close together was just a fluke, which is what us non believers call miracles! ?

Ask her why god gave her cancer in the first place.

You could tell your coworker that you'll repent just before you die and your coworker should think about all the time she or he has wasted. That's doing religion the smart way!

Forget about lecturing. people will not listen to lectures. Just disprove or dethrone the belief, it's not .

yes my son lol

Oh man. I'm sorry. (((( hugs )))) Must be something in the stars. My kid just cut her beloved aunt off in part due to her use of religious derp as a shield against accountability.... sigh. /lord save us from your followers....

God gets the praise when it's good news.The Devil cursed for the bad news.Seems to be that what they believe?

Bless you....lol

"God loves you, even if you don't love him back." I hear that a LOT also.

Sorry I have been there but that does not make it easy. I just walked away.

Glad for you that your mother doesn't have cancer, glad for her, too.
The rest of it? Fuck it. You know what's true and what isn't.

Good night! Most of the things that grow on us aren't cancerous and many that are can be fixed because of science. Why would a good, compassionate, omnipotent God give you cancer in the first place? Ah, well. I guess it is better that they follow a god than a demon. Marginally...
