Is there evidence of a religion curing anything? Like any disease or illness or anything? And by religion, I'm including people in the religion who cure in the name of their religion or their god or their spiritual power.

I'm just thinking that if religion cures stuff, then why aren't we all Christian Scientists?

Constant mindfulness. Right thought. Right speech. And on it goes.
How good at it all do we have to be?
Do we have to be the best?
Or do we just have to do our best?

Nose to the grindstone? Or eyes on the stars?

At this mental facility, a consumer (patient) attacked a man, hurting him really really bad, he had 15 fractures to the head and face, all together. The man that got attacked, was in nursing, there was a man and a woman, in a different department, that yelled for people, when this consumer, attacked the man. The two workers said they didn't try to stop it, while this man was getting a beating because, they didn't want to get hurt themselves, they were afraid of losing their jobs and they were not in the same department as the man, getting beat up. This work place is bad about firing people, if you interfere with matters, that don't pertain to you, especially when it comes to the consumers, it seems like the system is on their side, no matter what. The two worker's that witnessed the attack, was a man and a woman and now half of the building won't talk to them and they blamed the man more than the woman, because he is a man and should have stepped in, what do you think?

I'm serious. I saw a stupid answer earlier stating that if a Muslim woman is living in the US, that she must not have it great in her religion. Uh, hello, do these people forget that many Muslim women in the US are born and raised in the US, and many are converts? Did it ever occur to them that we just may be college educated and using our Islamic rights instead of living where culture is followed while their mouths say Islam is? How ignorant can a person be to state that if this religion or that religion is out of its country of origin, than that religion must not be good? Have you heard anything more ignorant?

Why are so many straight people so concerned about how gay people live their lives? That I don't get. And why do we always have to prove ourselves to people? Hundreds of gay people here have said that it's not a choice. that should be good enough. Of course if we had proof, would you honestly believe us? I bet you'd be stuck on what you think regardless of what any of us say.

In conclusion, what we do is none of your business, we don't have to prove anything to you....just leave us alone to live our lives and you do the same.

(this was actually a response to someone's ignorant question, but I figured a lot of other nosy busybody protesters should see this.)

God either wants to eliminate bad things and cannot, or can but does not want to, or neither wishes to nor can, or both wants to and can.
If he wants to and cannot, he is weak -- and this does not apply to God.
If he can but does not want to, then he is spiteful -- which is equally foreign to God's nature.
If he neither wants to nor can, he is both weak and spiteful and so not a god.
If he wants to and can, which is the only thing fitting for a god, where then do bad things come from? Or why does he not eliminate them? - Epicurean paradox

Do you find his words hypocritical? Do you think he is really corrupt? Is one of the most boring Pope's ever? He doesn't do anything that is attention worthy. Do you find anyhting else that is good or wrong or bad or ugly about the man I used to call the Leader of my Faith? Just curious, serious answers from REAL Catholics please.

P.S. F.Y.I I am a former Catholic so don't feed me the "You don't know what goes on in the RCC" I have been to the Vatican and I have seen both Popes in person. Nothing to be amazed at.

Just out of curiosity, at what point did your path lead to your belief in many deities? Was it a precursor to a religious change? Or have you believed it your whole life?

Blessed be
