Oh Jesus Fucking Christ. I have had -so many fights- about this issue with my ex church people. Telling people that prayer will heal you tells everyone who dies from illness it’s just their fault for not praying hard enough. Even little babies who die from cancer, welp they shoulda prayed harder!
I've been there. So wrong to tell people they did not pray hard enough. In my case, had I been healed, I would not have been put on the path I was given. God's Will. His plan for me. He protects me. Been a good journey! Praying is important, but wait for God's Will to grace you.
It’s just an excuse for inaction… “no need to take the meds, God will save you”
Reminds me of that joke where a guy is on the roof of his house during a flood. He refuses help from a raft, a boat and a helicopter since “God will save him”.
Now, now. If you're a really good Christian & shun your fellow man, you too can be blessed by the Magical Sky Fairy, & spend eternity in the Mystical Cloud Kingdom. Be shitty to your neighbor. He's not just like you anyway. We're all God's children. But Christians are special.
Ive left jobs over folks saying dinosaurs are fake (thanks Oklahoma, but I wish you'd kept this meth head thats over me - yeah I've traced her - legal shit)
you've just woken up
John Candy is driving next to you
there's a car over on the other side of the road with a couple screaming. you can barely hear them, they seem confused, you seem confused.
you look out the front windshield
I feel bad for "those" that believe this CRAP. Think gop/maga is realizing there are a LOT MORE EDUCATED individuals who ARE NOT ACCEPTING the "regime's" BS/LIES

no no no! one or the other! if prayer is so powerful, trust it. if you believe in drs, go to them.
Tired of drs curing people who then thank god for their health, or people dying of covid despite prayers, whose family then blame the drs for the death
If you really believe, do not go to the doctor
Its odd though that the countries with the healthiest populace tend to be less religious overall? Seems prayer isn't effective on its own without good healthcare infrastructure and availability.
This is as ridiculous as the Tennessee legislature called for 31 days of prayer and fasting to “seek God’s hand of mercy healing on Tennessee" amidst Hurricane Helene's devastating flash flooding as their Gov. Lee proclaimed September 27 “a voluntary Day of Prayer & Fasting".
Biden sent FEMA. Amen!
Prayer is meditation and meditation does have certain benefits like lowering resting heart rate, stress release in the moment, helping one to center and focus on the moment, etc. But it's one of many tools to use to take care of yourself. Another tool is modern medicine.
The Newsmax / Fox audience cannot differentiate between true or false, right or wrong, fact or fiction, black or white, and up or down.
The cult brain suppresses critical thinking and decision making by reducing activity in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC).
Also provides a lifetimes worth of entertainment, happy and funny memories, and is all around just better in general. They also don’t judge you for who you are, or what you like, just as long as you provide love, food, and a safe place to live, they’re happy too.
Organized Religion has always been a way to manipulate the masses into forgetting about badly their lives are under the current ruling and wealth class.
Let his days be few, And let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow. Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg; Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places.
I know someone whose father-in-law had stage 4 colorectal cancer. They (father and mother-in-law) honestly believed they could pray it away. It didn't end well.
Sadly, this is exactly why it will be difficult to reach evangelicals and catholics. They really believe this shit. They are not worried about banning vaccines because god will protect them. They deny the fact that history makes it clear he will not.
Well I’ve been praying like a m__________r for a long time now that the current administration suffers some kind of plague or something. Ain’t happened yet
According to Trump's new spiritual advisor they can for only $1,000! That's so much cheaper than health insurance and there's so many ways to pay, venmo, PayPal, mail it in, call by phone, maybe even send me your first child (not really sure about this last one) 🤣🤣🤣
Today on good Friday :Oklahoma Legislature super majority MAGAs declare white supremacists meme "christ is king" is mandatory In this State, used by Nazis to taunt Jews world wide...
I blame MAGA voters
I blame the stay at home Democrats
Mostly this, there are links to positivity and your health, mostly derived from mental state and the effects on your body. That doesn't mean that little bit of blood pressure you're getting back isn't going to go right back up with a burger/pizza diet.

Guy - why didn’t you save me?
God - well, I sent a raft, a boat and a helicopter to save you but you refused to get in!

Except for foster false hope.
There is no invisible being in the sky listening to you.
You're on your own. Take back your life.
Really special...
But see a doctor first.
Oh, Father high in heaven
Smile down upon your son, hey, hey
Who's busy with his money games, oh
His women and his gun
Lord Jesus save me
If Jesus saves
Well, He'd better save Himself
From the gory glory seekers
Who use His name in death
Woh, Jesus save me

The next segment is probably about boosting our economy by buying Trump Bibles in bulk.
🤡🤡
Vaccines can improve your health, with or without prayer.
I often pray that conservatives will all be raptured. Just thinking about a better world makes me feel better.

I know I'm stretching but in terms of insane shit Newsmax does this feels like its on the lighter end.
Biden sent FEMA. Amen!
In: prayer
You got cancer? Prayer
You got diabetes? Prayer
You got blocked arteries? Prayer
Cant wait for the next pandemic where vaccines are illegal and its prayer to cure you.
I feel better already.
So be careful about these scientific studies.
Fight like hell, laugh until it hurts.
Live in your journey until your next consciousness expands.
Happy travels, soul friend.
Guess those who died of Covid and the 1918 flu pandemic or the Black Plague or any other mass illness were infidels and for what was coming for them.

By all means, if you are religious, prayer over medicine is the way.
😉
but microscopes are prudent in an emergency
Just stupid shit some people say.
Check please…🫰
ALSO MAGA: DON’T YOU TAKE AWAY MUH GUNS
No I don’t know anything about American history why do you ask?
I blame MAGA voters
I blame the stay at home Democrats
26 is coming vote them all out
Here’s an alternative to your arrogant white “Christian” nationalists: be kind to your fellow humans.
That is all.
