Well, I suppose that's basically acknowledging your failure. If God doesn't answer your prayers it's time to get vaccinated!
They are lucky tho that they have the scriptures as they are so ambiguous that anyone can interpret it just the way they please.

Hmmm, is IT because these so-called Leaders are really interested in the lives of their Followers OR, is it, perhance, a method to ensure that the Followers will continue to live, attend services and continue to drop money into the Collection Plates, etc, etc?
Call me suspicious if you will, but I have never seen Altruism and Religion going hand in hand imo.

While Christians as a whole tend to be maligned on here, and often with at least good reason, the vast majority are decent folks who's beliefs happen to intersect with the idiots among them. Just as ISIS doesn't represent much if not most Muslims, Christian Nationalists and Radical Evangelicals don't represent the whole of Christianity. While most of these posts highlight the worst of the bunch, the average church goer are decent people, like the rest of us, just trying to go through life, raise their families and be decent people and helpful neighbors. Good to recognize that from time to time.

It's so sad that this should be newsworthy
