Yeah. I remember when I was a reporter up north and a lady came in and gave me a big story about her child's miraculous recovery from a strawberry birthmark - a huge growth on the side of the kid's head. A team of surgeons and other specialists worked for hours to remove it and the kid lived.
It's a miracle! Praise god!
My headline read. Miracle baby? You decide!

Humans can't do good things without God...NOT.

Its pathetic

As long as they recognise that the doctors are necessary part of the process I don't mind them shoehorning a little God in there too. It's when they start choosing the Magic over the Medicine I get angry. That leads to unecessary suffering.

I don't like it when folks give God credit. He should always have to pay cash. How do you even find him if stiffs you. Even Christians can't really find him. They think they know where he is.

Not really. I'm sure that the doctors are used to it and if make a them feel better about the situation who cares?

I've done a pretty good job of healing myself dislocations, breaks, infections for coming from an old pioneer family you and your family were the doctors. That said the only time I was attended to by a physician, a very good I might add, was a double broken mandible in a car accident requiring surgery. He was not a man of god either, so good work and advice is what healed me. No prayer needed.

Exactly...I had cancer thats all I got was of god cured you or your blessed orthe prayers worked..I just say thank the doctors instead..

And if they die it was because it was gods plan

Life is way too short to get angry about such things but yeah it does get old.

Frustration at times, but not anger. It bothers me more when someone says that they think prayer is the answer to one's problems. I feel bad for those folks, living with false hope.

No, it has no affect on me other than my seeing them as idiots.

It's a way of exerting control over a situation that you have no control over or ability to effect. Most people that 'thank god' or 'pray to god' or whatever, will also thank their doctors. Blaming is a negative reaction.

Doesn't make me angry but does not means they are correct. I reckon they have the right or priviledge to say anything.

If it made me angry I;d be one grumpy old man .It's not uncommon to see someone at a McDonalds with bowed head thanking the lord for their big mac . If anything it scares me how ingrained religion is in the lives of so many in the bible belt .

Update on my previous reply....Yes, it makes me angry because I hate to see and listen to ignorant and scary people.....the ones that keep on praying.....but nothing happens. They don't get it!!

It makes me more mad when 'The ' is not criticized when something goes wrong!

It makes me want to face palm.

I usually post telling them how blasphemous they are because they are questioning what their omnipotent Gawd has sent them, obviously on purpose, and how dare they question it/him.
Buwahahahahaaaaaa!

Oh, you bet it does!

Maybe they ae doing it to justify their religious belief. If something good happened it MUST have been God, mustn't it?

As an aside; From posts on this site I am getting an idea of how inaccesable healthcare is in the US.

Here in the UK you can buy a years travelling insurance for everywhere in the world EXCEPT the US. For that you have to pay more for medical cover.

Yes. It angers me a lot. It's a slap in the face to all the people who work so hard and give up so much.

Continuously, such people should leave the hospital system and go to church instead to reduce hospital waiting lists.
