If my posting privileges get revoked, I don't care. I probably spend too much time on here anyway.
This stuff needs to deescalate. Nobody should be harmed as a consequence of posting here.
Ya, sometimes we say things out of anger. Needless to say, I won't be posting any personal information.

God doesn't bring on diseases. This one was from an infectious pathogen. You must understand that healing also has a psychological dimension that is bolstered by faith due to there a mind-body duality. The Priesthood blessing helped by shoring up this psychological dimension. There may also be a spiritual dimension to which we can only speculate.
You are a nice little penguin, really a good soul, and I like you. I hate to be combative.
BUT - if 'God' created everything, it was him who created the damn' pathogens and let them loose on us and our kids! You might as well say that the guy who sowed landmines didn't amputate any kid's legs. It just makes no sense.
Humans have the power to create as well, hon. I'll be a happier person when grown men and women actually take responsibility for the fact that though there may be a God who created them, they still have the power to choose right from wrong, love from hatred, etc...
But no... God made you do it, didn't God? LMAO
I tend to agree with you, I don't think any of this is God's fault.
But I don't see how one can attribute something good to God, like the wonder of human life, but not attribute something like the pain of disease, death or the bad luck of being born in a third world country.

He has falsely accused posters of malicious actions. in my opinion, he is a malicious individual.
Well, nobody's perfect. I wouldn't worry my silly little head about it further. I'll try to be better.

Infectious pathogens have evolved just like the rest of creation. You may as well have asked why God created man-eating tigers. The answer is that they too have evolved since the initial creative act. Damn the tigers and damn the pathogens! However, they are just the result of an evolutionary process.

The part of the evolutionary process I don't understand is why God decided we needed mosquitos. Or the 20,000 + species of grasshoppers. God doesn't make any sense.

Oh yeah, write what you've done off! OF COURSE you wouldn't worry your silly little head over it, you don't care about those you pee on...

Yeah, don't do that. Just let it be blatant how hypocritical he is that he's all about transparency, but he won't post this information himself.
Bob, come to DC dear. Let me know when you'll be here. I'll welcome you as best I can.

It's not really necessary to attack Bob anymore... I forgive him. I appreciate everyone's support regarding my sister.

You don't have to feel responsible for the animus displayed here towards bob. He's spent a long time carefully nurturing that animus through his obnoxious and narcissistic behavior.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

I have an office in DC and am there all the time.
When you say "he won't post this information himself," what are you talking about? What information would you like.
