Deepak combines medical science AND alternative healing methods. Do you guys have any clue to the politics involved in the pharmacy industry? You would rather put your "faith" into that nonsense just because it's not associated with religion?
More BS from you. Does it never end?
Medicine works. Big Pharma works. Yes, we pay more than we should, but at least it works. Every time you go to a hospital or a doctors for treatment, Big Pharma is involved. And if Chopra is also using 'medical science', he too is using Big Pharma.
We live longer because of Big Pharma. This is not faith, this is a known fact.
Religion has NOTHING to do with it. That was just yet another Ozzy invention.
And when alternative healing methods work, that too becomes medical science. When it does not, Chopra sells it.

With you it is both. It is bad enough that you have to invent rubbish every day to attack atheism, but today you have really revealed what kind of a person you are.

It would probably be well to keep these facts in mind:
What has caused the difference? Medical science!!! Centuries of witch doctor medicine and make believe have established a very poor track record.
Good lord ( no pun intended),,,,can't you see it's all those faith healings that have expanded our life expectancies!
To purloin and sarcastically amend a statement...."God, I don't know if it is evil or pure ignorance that makes some people think (any other) way."
"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.
Are you saying that all Christians with faith are healed?
LOLing at "typical angry atheist". If you only knew.
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.
It's that's not hate then what is it?
How would I know what you saw on a television show? And what would the television show have to do with atheists you have encountered here? You stated:

I get the feeling that some atheists actually might HATE when these things happen.
Where do you mention anything about "getting the feeling" while watching a television show?

May be medical science is only a tool and our life expectancy rate has increased as per God’s plan?
And then longer life spans have put an astronomical amount of burden on our healthcare system - cost of providing care has sky rocketed - our elderly in old homes now drag a lonely miserable life with 24/7 drugs - taxes have gone up to support Social services for the aging population. Social Security money is all gone.
I don't supposed you have that plan anywhere , sort of like a blueprint, you could share with us?
If there is a God and if that's his plan - probably then he knows better. I don't know it and I can't change it.
My job as a believer is try to live a morally conscious and peaceful life under the guidance that God has provided, till my time ends, and I stand up for accountability in his court - That's what matters to me.
If there is a God and if that's his plan - probably then he knows better. I don't know it and I can't change it.
Then why even bother proposing certain things may be part of it? Especially with an "if" (a little word with a big meaning) and no more useful to conversation than "If the dog hadn't stopped to <<bleep>> , he would have caught the rabbit"
