Thousands of innocent children die daily to young to understand the concept of praying and asking God for forgiveness so if this really worked everyone would be healthy or die young. My best advise to you is to eat fantastic, ( I'm a Vegan ) and my overall health is very very good! So hang in there and don't let the nay-sayers get you down! Believe in yourself...as its the best medicine.

Hi Alexa

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. It is such a shame that instead of getting love and support from your family, you're getting judgement and attack.

I hope you have some people in your life that can give you a hug and be on your side.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. If your critics' opinions had any validity, the world would be a much better place. No religious people would ever get sick or experience tragedy. Anybody who was prayed over would be healed. Religion doesn't change the course or frequency of illness. Feel free to mention to your parents all their religious friends who get cancer and such.

Hi Alex,
I'm sorry to hear that you're not well.
As far as I'm concerned the concept of gods is puerile and belongs to an earlier stage of human development.
Someone has already advised you to listen to your doctors and be guided by them. I would echo that view. Forget the superstitious nonsense.
I wish you a speedy recovery.
Best wishes.

Seek professional medical help. From a religious perspective, G-d has provided resources to help yourself. To not seek help ignores the grace of G-d. The shortcoming of faith-based relief is that it is a passive hope for a miracle.

I am sorry you have folks surrounding you practicing not the compassion Christ taught about. We are here to help you negotiate the maze. You are in my thoughts. Heal soon & be well.

That's just so sick at a time of worry and concern for you

Tonight I will raise a toast for your good health.

Because everyone knows that religious people never get ill. Stay Strong!!!

My mother used to blame bad breaks in my life on my refusal to give my heart to Jesus. ? Stay away from her you are going through enough.

Well, forget that shit and if possible keep a distance from such negativity. Praying may be a good placebo but only if you believe in it. Also the statement implies that all religious people, because they don't 'sin' and they pray regularly must be super fit and have no health issues, no allergies, never get headaches or toothaches, the list goes on...I doubt you will find one of these Super-People in any religious house in the world. Perhaps the next time she gets a cold you could ask her to pray it away and stop whining! I hope the blood tests come back okay. Let us know how you get on. And illness has nothing to do with god. Its bacteria, virus and maybe even genetic. So if there is something of a genetic basis your dear ole parents gave it too you! Not sin or being non-religious.

Religious people can often be the most judgemental, and often victim blame. If there were any stock to what they said, religious people would never get disease.

Whilst they are talking, paste on a big smile that looks like a "Yes O.K" and inside, make your own plans to get weller. Keep saying 'yes' because eventually it shuts them up .

Wow, i remember one born again telling a co worker she got MS because she sin. Hope your health issues get better. Hope you find people that are not going to go all old testment on you.

Spiritual people always try to find all the answers in religion. I'm a holy person too, but I don't think this is the explanation. Your blood results will show the real reasons. It would've been helpful to specify your symptoms. Maybe someone from this forum had passed through the same issues as you. Unfortunately, most people don't pay enough attention to their health problems until it is too late. I've always tried to take care of myself. The most severe illnesses don't cause any noticeable symptoms. The first step in keeping yourself healthy is to ensure hygiene.
