This is a great story but because you mentioned God, people who think they aren't sociopaths will suddenly ignore they joy of a child surviving despite all odds to post shitty responses only meant to demean others' beliefs.

Very very happy for that girl and her family.

No,the headline states very clearly that this girl was saved by god in the same sentence where they talk about all of the treatment she received.

If a person has a disease, If God wants to heal the disease He will, if you ask and believe He will cure you or the person.
Many times Christ healed someone He would say, "Your faith has healed you." The miracle was granted because the person believed Jesus was the true Messiah. This still happens today. God will heal you if you believe, unless your time on earth is complete.

Making fun of someone’s belief system without understanding it is sooooooooo intellectual


Good grief, you can’t even spell the word “so” correctly.

I can tell you’re a woman. Not that there is anything wrong with that. This is America and I’m allowed to make fun of stupid, sensitive people who have belief systems if I want to.

I believe you just hate your creator because he didn’t shape our world the way you think it should be. Nobody lashes out at something they don’t even believe in with as much venom as you just did unless they feel jilted. You just hate God. The shadow of darkness holds sway over your soul right now. Satan has convinced you that you are your own God and has separated you from your true creator. And he revels in that victory.


Not sure if trolling...

Uh...sounds like the radiation worked and shrunk the tumor a lot



Most likely this but sure let's chalk it up to prayer

What about all the people who pray but die or just continue to live awful lives. Jesus must hate them I guess

God is the most narcissistic mother fricker to ever be written about. That includes Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Hussein, etc. More blood has been shed in his name than for any other reason in history. And even today with all that we’ve learned and discovered to dispute any type of existence of a god, we still have educated people that choose to believe in this fairy tale. It’s quite puzzling.

Man oh man, you have some SERIOUS issues with God, huh?

You're flaming this whole thread with seething anger at a Higher Being.

You need some help in real life. I hope you don't walk around this angry and bitter all day (although I suspect you do. I would also bet money you have some deep deep self loathing issues).

You are giving us a common atheist statement... "There is no God, and I hate Him!"

If you think more blood has been spilled in His name, than anything else than you didn't pay much attention to recent history with WWI (40 million deaths), WWII (70 million deaths), Mao's Revolution (50 million deaths) and the Bolshevik Revolution (20 million). All either driven by territorial concerns or humanist philosophies.

What are your totals for number of deaths due to religion?

Don't be dense, he's obviously referring to the "God" that's described in the Bible and other religious works.

So with the average age expectancy continuing to climb is it because god elects to heal more people these days or advancements in technology, science, and medicine?

Also are people expected to live longer in more developed parts of the world because they believe harder?

Seems ridiculous IMO.

I don't have any issues with god because it doesn't exist. Just like I don't have any issues with santa clause, the easter bunny or the tooth fairy. It just blows my mind that so many people fall in line with a belief system started in a part of the world that has barely progressed over the last 2000 years. The world is much, much older than that but you choose to believe it all started with some dude in the sky making a man out of dirt and a woman from that guy's rib. Then that original guy lived for 900 years. That sounds like something someone that just ate a shroom says.

The Holocaust was religion based.
Wars have been started for religious reasons, but in the name of territorial expansion.
They are closely related.

It was an atheistic, fascist regime killing off Jews, not in the name of religion though...
