If you said * I feel sick today very yucky* So you went to the Doctor to be?

Question

Checked out? Doc checked you out, and said I see no underlying cause for why you are feling sick, and then he said maybe you are imagining it or maybe you are fibbing? How would you feel? proably mad because YOU know what you are feeling
WELL:
When you say a person has not spoke to GOD hears GOD and has a relationship with Jesus Christ is like what the Dr said to you when he found no reason for you to be feeling ill.

People believe in GOD because of what he does in thier life, if GOD did not reveal himself to a person when they prayed the Bible alone would not prove to them GOD exsits.
Thoughts?

Answer 1

If a doctor told me that I'd accept that my 'yucky' feeling is psychosomatic, and go home and have some Lemsip.

You on the other hand, would say something along the lines of 'I don't want your truth interfering mith my delusions!'

There's the essential difference between us.


Oh, and how exactly does the Bible the existence of God?

Answer 2

The doctor is actually trained to diagnose your condition, comparing symptoms to known groups of symptoms. You may be certain you have heart disease, but the doctor can perform tests that will prove you only have acid reflux or a sprained rib.

There is a syndrome that first year medical students can get. At some point they will run across a set of symptoms for some rare disease that exactly match how they feel, so they become convinced they have it, even though there is no way they could have caught it. They feel it, it's "real", at least until an actual doctor proves they don't.

If believing in God helps you cope with the uncertainties of life, that's fine, as long as it isn't covering a real maladjustment, and you aren't imposing your assumptions on other people. Not everyone needs the same kind of "medicine" or to believe the same things as you do.

If I went to a doctor and was told it was all in my head, I might get a second opinion but I would want to know the real answer, not just what I wanted to hear. An unethical physician might play along with my delusion, just to collect the fees.

Answer 3

So you are comparing belief in god to an illness that nobody can seem to find but the person inflicted with the "mystery illness" somehow has special knowledge that it's there? FINALLY! You've fessed up to the truth.

Feelings do not equal facts. Many things you feel when you feel ill can be caused by your mind. It does not necessarily mean that there is anything physiologically wrong with you.

Someone going to the doctor believing themselves to be ill with something & having "special knowledge" (beyond what a trained professional would know) of an illness within them would probably be considered a hypochondriac. If a doctor performs extensive tests and finds nothing, the chances are...... you guessed it...... it's all in your head. Just like people claim there's a god but cannot offer substantial proof of that claim.... so the ones who know what they're talking about look at you crazies and KNOW that it is all in your head.

Answer 4

Listen, crazy, you'll appreciate this. I've just had the worst week of my life. I have excruciating sciatica. I spent the weekend in the hospital due to a sever allergy attack. My car broke down and I depleted my checking account repairing it so I can come to a job I almost got fired from today after I went apeshit on my boss. Despite this, I remain an atheist. I am utterly screwed, yet feel more alive than I have in years. Go figure.

Answer 5

This is a very bad example. I am completely against self-diagnosis. Frankly if my doctor told me it was all in my head, I'd be inclined to agree with him. I don't know much medicine, so if someone who has spent 6 years studying it tells me that I have no physical ailments, I would probably believe him. If he suggested it was a mental problem, I would take their advice and see a pyschiatrist. I do not pretend to know more than doctors.

Mental illnesses and people speaking to God inside their heads are fairly indistinguishable, and I say this without meaning offence.

Answer 6

The atheists would tell the doctor he was an idiot,to shut up.They would tell him they were geniuses and that they would never believe someone that believed in doctorate degrees.
The atheists never experienced a life with a PHD and therefore anyone claiming such a belief needs to be stopped.

Answer 7

A doctor won't say that you're not sick in that situation. A doctor will tell you that they can't find the reason you're feeling sick. If you're in dire distress, they will do more tests, or perhaps refer you to a psychologist to see if what you're feeling is psychosomatic.

As for your relationship with god or whatever--fine. I really don't care what you believe you experience. I have not experienced it, and you cannot empirically prove your experiences are real. Please don't impose your baseless beliefs onto me or my government.

Answer 8

The only one you need to "Prove" any thing to is yourself! The best way to share with others about the difference God has made in your life is with your actions not your words!

Remember Actions speak louder than words! Everyone in this life has their own path to walk. Have faith that God will led them as he sees fit.
Or do you think he is limited in his power?

Answer 9

What i might do is call the professor on the telephone to describe. however in case you only could circulate away a message, a minimum of you have tried to chat with him. e mail him the paper, then circulate to the surgeon to get a scientific certificates. teach this on your professor the subsequent time you circulate in. He/she would be able to't argue with a real scientific reason. additionally you do not prefer to proportion your flu consisting of your classmates!!!

Answer 10

Don't worry, I still think you're crazy.

But since I have no problem with Pagans who have experienced THEIR gods personally, I also have no problem with Christians doing the same. I still don't believe in gods, but I also accept that my expriences and opinions aren't theirs. I'm ok with people being different than me.

Or does the fact that other people experience other gods not seem important to you?
