Whether religion has an overall beneficial effect on humanity seems highly doubtful to me. Take all the religous wars as an example. In most of those wars, religion of course was not the only factor. But obviously religion helps a lot in making things worse (Catholics vs. Protestants in Northern Ireland, Christian vs. Muslims during the Crusades, Christians vs. Jews in Nazi Germany, Jews vs. Muslims in the Middle East, Muslims vs. Hindu in India, etc.).
On the other hand, for many people religion seems to be a part of their life they depend on, so I don't try to take it away from them, even if there would be good reasons to.
It's easier to try what you were attempting if you have a history with a person.
As to your questions about healing, why some get healed and others don't. I can't answer your question. You would need to familiarize yourself with the Bible and ask that question of someone who has studied that area. I just know that I'm grateful.
As to your "moron" comment. I understood it for what it was. That's why I joked about it. Your perception of God is interesting, but not one that I can find supportable, either by experience or by the Bible's own words.
The heart of Christianity is all about the Revelation of God's Love for us (shown through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, meaning slavation and redemption) taking precedance over God's Law (Judgement) for us. I know quite well that some people twist it and try to force it into their own little boxes. It's why some will actually blame Jesus' death on Jews while ignoring the fact that Jesus was an observant Jew, as was all his disciples and most, if not all, of his followers up to the time of his crucifixion and most importantly it was all done according to his will.
And yet you still discard their 'expert medical advice' when it comes to chemo?... I'm not going to be so crass as to ask for before and after photos.
I won't belabor our decision on the chemo. It was done based on statistics (as was the decision for the masectomy).
The joke about the Lotto was over your head I guess. Gambling is considered a sinful behavior and wouldn't be something I would expect to be rewarded for. I don't believe in throwing away my money. From your point of view I guess it makes sense, but you would never expect a prayer to be answered either.
Someone recently said to me that unless someone experiences the miraculous that can't truly understand it when you witness to them about it. I'm finding that true. I find it very interesting at how hard people will work to "debunk" the miraculous in order to "help" others.
How would you explain a dry $100 bill falling to my feet in Georgia during a rainstorm (at a time when I had been praying for a solution to a problem that would require about that much money)? This did happen to me last year.
I'm quite sure you can't, yet you'll go around and around without considering the miraculous simply because you don't want to believe. That's fine Toby, it really is. You're behaving the way most people do, by rejecting anything that doesn't fit into your world view, all the while believing your being logical. All you're doing is limiting your choices/options.
As to the photos. If my wife grows a new breast, she has already said she'll want to document it (our plastic surgeon wants to also). It may be crass to some, but since we already thought of it I don't think you would be for asking. I don't think it would help, because I believe you would just consider some other explanation for it happening. That's why I joked about you growing one. It's harder to deny a personal experience.
Thanks for your good wishes, et al. Missed posting with you.He's made a lot of questionable calls with 1st-3rd round picks.  But he usually does a solid job of finding an underrated guy or two in the 4th-7th rounds.  

I'm not sure I'd call his drafts solid though.  I'd say he's in the middle of the pack or bottom half of drafting GMs in the league.

Also, as /u/tpoindexter pointed out, Reinfeldt did find some quality players and contributors.  I think Webster has too, but I don't think he's been leaps and bounds above Reinfeldt by any means. Just slightly better.A three-dimensional (3D) activated framework carbon (3D AFC) was prepared in our research group and applied to adsorb U(VI) from radioactive waste water. Meanwhile, The effects of solid–liquid ratio, contact time, pH value, ionic strength and ionic concentration of adsorbate on the adsorption of U(VI) by the 3D AFC were studied. The calculated maximum adsorption capacity of 3D AFC was 127.5 mg/g under the condition that pH was 5.8. Combined with the properties of excellent three-dimensional network structure, simple synthesis methodology, and the adsorption capacity for U(VI), 3D AFC is considered to be feasible for recycling U(VI) from waste water solutions.

The Lakers unleashed their ominous one-two punch of Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, overpowering the Philadelphia 76ers 98-89 to win Game 2 and even the NBA Finals. O’Neal did everything with 28 points, 20 rebounds, 8 blocked shots and 9 assists, clearing the deck for Bryant to lead everyone with 31 points. Games 3, 4 and 5 of this best-of-seven championship series will be in Philadelphia. The heavily favored Lakers rebounded well from their opening loss at home tomorrow night, rolling through the Sixers once O’Neal and Bryant asserted themselves. The best double-dip in the NBA did a double dunk on the Sixers’ upset hopes, reopening talk of their budding dynasty as they move closer to back-to-back titles. Allen Iverson led the Sixers with 23 points, but he made only 10 of 29 shots. The Lakers regained their lead early in the third quarter, and they never trailed again, leading by as many as 13 points midway in the fourth. The Sixers made a late run, pulling to within three points after O’Neal got his fifth personal fouls, but they still hung on. Lakers point guard Derek Fisher hit a 3-pointer with 2:05 remaining, ending a 13-3 run by the Sixers and giving the Lakers a 92-86 lead. Ron Harper followed for the eight-point lead. The Sixers refused to quit, but they weren’t strong enough to overcome the Lakers’ inside-outside strength. O’Neal’s eight blocks tied a record for the NBA Finals. The Lakers led, 49-47, at halftime, riding another strong start by O’Neal, who had 17 points and 16 rebounds before the intermission. Bryant, who played poorly in Game 1, had 16 points in the first half. The Lakers dominated inside with nine offensive rebounds, but they still couldn’t shake the Sixers. After trailing for much of the first half, the Lakers used a late burst by Bryant to lead 49-45. Matt Geiger hit a shot a shot just before halftime. The Sixers got a surprising boost in the second quarter from lightly regarded reserves Geiger and Todd MacCulloch, who replaced Dikembe Mutombo and Tyrone Hill. MacCulloch scored seven points in the period, allowing the Sixers to build a 38-31 lead, their biggest of the first half. Bryant, free from having to guard Iverson early in the game, ignited with 12 points in the first quarter. Iverson started slowly by missing his first four shots. O’Neal, after getting 44 points in Game 1, concentrated on defense early, blocking three shots in the first 12 minutes. The Sixers are a battered team. Aaron McKie and Eric Snow both are playing with small fractures in their right ankles. Mutombo has a fractured finger on his left hand. Iverson is bruised all over. George Lynch is hoping to return in Philadelphia from a broken foot.Vardenafil with Dapoxetine is an effective medication to treat Erectile Disfunction(ED) and premature ejaculation.
