"Christopher" is a lovely young man who loves everyone. He loves God and Jesus and spreads cheer everywhere he goes.
"Dick" is a typical angry atheist. He's always frowning. He hates the idea of God and he hates everyone he meets.
They are clones who are both in the same physical condition and both develop the same disease. A week later Christopher is healed of the disease through his faith. Unfortunately Dick has turned to solid stone. He's dead.
Question: Why did Christopher survive and Dick didn't?
Maybe my example is a little exaggerated, BUT... I really think this kind of thing is always happening. Or maybe it should.
An atheist would go by Richard which is long for Dick,* sir. You have committed a penibus phallicy therefore your argument is not only mute but also moot. This has earned you 15 minutes on the slippery slope.
I think this statement says a great deal about you.
If it's not hate then what would you call it? What do you call the anger I see in the eyes of an atheist who is listening to Deepak Chopra in a debate while he is describing alternative methods of healing that the atheist seems to think are nonsense. It looks as if the atheist wants to jump across the table and choke him to death.
Of course, atheists will try to scramble for some explanation or act like it is just perfectly normal for cancer to vanish, but the doctors, ya know the real experts can't explain this one and are baffled. The survival rate for DIPG is very low and this cancer can not be cured through modern medicine. Yet she was completely cured through the power of prayer. Believe that!
No, I am not an Atheist but that seems a bad news for health insurance companies, pharma industry and healthcare providers.
Jesus’s healing could potentially put millions out of work in the healthcare industry where many work hard to make an honest living.
On the other hand, I do believe in Jesus by faith and I do believe in miracles and I do believe in prayers - however, it’s only logical that a believer must seek medical attention when he/she gets sick TOGETHER with prayers. It’s common sense.
God has put the power of healing in different herbs, plants and chemicals etc for a reason.
Something is going to kill you eventually - so it’s all about trying your best till you can.
Both, prayers and medicine, probably won’t wotk when your time is up.

There is something REALLY messed up when atheists try to downplay or ridicule religious faith healing. That tells me all I will ever need to know about atheism.

We live in a sin cursed world with a sin cursed body so pain is just a reality. Your post only reflects the limitations of human thinking. We can only make sense of things that are absolute, always occuring, all encompassing. So you think it's only fair that if God heals one, He should heal everyone.
But if every ailment is wiped away for everyone every time then the physical body never dies. Then God becomes a liar when He declared that sin would result in death. The reality is that as each person is complete unique, our life journey is completely unique. Only God knows the outcome of healing or letting someone continue to endure pain. Who knows, this girl could grow up to touch many lives and lead them to Christ through her testimony of healing. Someone else that gets healed could grow up to commit a mass murder.
You just proved that you will never accept evidence with that kind of attitude.
What an idiotic thing to say. What I actually proved is I will never accept rubbish evidence. Non Sequiturs are bad, OK?
What you have proved is you will ignore evidence you do not like.

It is a copout to point out the fact that sometimes tumors do disappear on their own? To you the truth is a cop out? Reality to you is a cop out?
To ignore this as a possibility is just deluded or dishonest.
But here is a prediction. These remissions are usually short lived. If the disease comes back and the girl dies, you will suddenly forget this 'miraculous evidence'.

So they can not be baffled about the success AND have cured her at the same time?

Ten years later "God" says to "Christopher", go out and kill people. Police finally kill him after he has stabbed 17 people, 5 fatally.

If true, it is possibly because Chopra's woo means people could die because they buy the woo instead of seeing a doctor.
If your argument is true.
